fantastic smirk
Your gran looks like the most amazing rockabilly type rebel.
What a cool lady. Cooler than any of the people believing that they're cool now, and she did it 70 years ago!
this photo is the best one so far in this series. the smiles are the ultimate style...
Ho-ho! That's a grandma! I like her shoes. THe other woman is wearing sandals with socks, i like that.
Love this pic!
Love the name of the place as much as your grandma look. They say that pictures worth thousands word and vintage pictures seems are incredible for that.
Thx for sharing this pic with us ;-))

amazing! strong, stylish and beautiful.
wow! what a wonderful photo! it really makes me want to know more about them...
Exactly the sort of women I have huge respect for.
perfect shot! Lots going on here, stories to be told.
I love this photo! Her expression and body language says a lot. And she is gorgeous too. I love all their outfits and hair styles too.
I love this one, it is my favorite so far from the vintage photos, her attitude, her look, it makes me want to know her more. Great picture.
I absolutely adore this picture!!! And you're grandma wow, simply stunning...
Vintage photos are the best!
xoxo
LOIS! Get on with your bad self! I love this photo! Bet she could cut a rug, too!
I love the drape of Dude's socks too.
Makes you wonder if (or how) the three of them knew each other, doesn't it?
Thanks so much for sharing Lois with us!
Great background for photography!

you have posted a lot of great vintage photos but this one for me takes the cake so AMAZING!
i LOVE her. the foot on the bench, the shoes, the top, the half-smile pout, the cigarette. brrrrilliant. othe other lady is very pretty too, nice legs.
and the man sitting next to her looks hilarious! :D
i'm very much liking these vintage pictures, mr sartorialist.
Wowza, sassy is right! Great photo. The pose, the crooked smile, the two-tone shoes, the haltered crop top, the man pants. She does indeed look like a sharp woman who speaks her mind. The sign behind them is great too (Giant Killers??)
I love the way women sit on the left, is a picture that reaffirms the glamor and knowledge of the period clothing
what a badass.ca
Oh my God, that face. Hot hot hot.
gorgeous photo. I'm lost for words.. just lovely :)

uh, love!!!! each person has such character. of course we know the grama on the left is sassy but how sexy is the glower of the woman on the right?! the man looks like he's lost. in a good way.
Yakima calls itself the Palm Springs of Washington. Go, 509ers!
Your grandma remind me my mother...I miss her. Thank you for this.
This is the sort of shot you'd think was done posed, by a professional photographer trying to make a point. It's all the more fantastic because it isn't: this is real! Congratulations on having the sassiest Grandma on the Sart. :-)
They're so modern it could be today. Beautiful looking people and I love the signs in the background.
Wow, your grandmother's hot. And she's got such sense of style. Though the woman on the right is more of my "style sister".
Oh I wish I knew the relationship between all 3. Love this photo, especially lois' style...amazing.

So, what does "Grandma Lois" and her friend have in mind for soldier boy? I know, I know it's your grandma I'm talking about but he looks a bit clueless here and she and friend so knowing.
Love, love, love this picture.
This is so awesome! I wonder if a photo taken today will look so cool in 70 years...
What are giant killers and why are they on the menu? fantastic picture.
love this photo!! The confidence of the women, so sexy!
and I mean come on. 20 cent pints?!
That Lois looks like a real pistol! The other woman is a terrific character, too. I wonder what the man is thinking? I'm not sure he's noticing...though behind the shades it's hard to know. It was also quite a difficult time for everyone. Great photograph (as were the ones of Alexa's grandparents...I can never help but think...oh man, no matter how bad people thought things were going to be, it was so much worse than they could have imagined.)
Love these old photos! Just gorgeous.
HALCOHOLIC.com
That's the best so far, I agree!!!
rebel youth!!! in Yakima even!!!
That's the best so far!!! Rebel youth!!!! and Yakima!!!
Awesome photo, that's some serious attitude from all three of them!
I'm born & raised in Yakima, very surprised to see such a great inspiration from this not so fashion forward town!
Great photo. My grandmother was another smart and stylish Lois, and I named my daughter after her.
OMG! I LOVE this photo. Something about the contrast between the sassy chica, military dude, and the miss lady at the other end make this such an interesting photo. I also, LOVE what miss sassy is wearing.
http://mylifeasawifey.blogspot.com/
I love old photos like these ... I always wonder who they were, why they were there, why they chose to wear those particular shoes that day ... everything :)
http://thenonfictionalcurves.blogspot.com
Great.
yakima!
represent!
My mother called saddle shoes "rock n roll" shoes. Either way, they're awesome, and Lois looks like I gal I'd want to have fun with.
this is freaking fabulous.
What a woman! I wish I had half the beauty and confidence that she exudes in this photo! Not to mention those shoes! I think I might have to buy a pair of saddle shoes for the fall! Thanks for sharing, Sart!
Lois and her brother! They have the same nose and mouth and attitude.
i would have loved to see photos of my grandmother at that age.
yours had the perfect attitude to go with her style.
http://stoneandcloth.blogspot.com
Love the shoes and the whole outfit of the woman on the left.
The 40s in my opinion had the best fashion of all time. And this stylish lady is the proof.
Sacramento
from Andalucía in the south of Spain
Wow, such an attitude in one shot!!!
Your grandma's way past sassy and well into cool as hell. Thanks for sharing the photo!
Stunning picture. Each of subjects could be a separate portrait - (frame them and see)- yet they form a beautiful group. The vintage series is brilliant.
This photo reminds me of Catch 22 or a Hemingway novel
They looks amazing, relaxed but still elegant
i love it
http://bulbizar.blogspot.com/
Really nice picture! And a really nice blogg you got! :-) People in fantastic clothes!
Keep up the good work!
"Lois was pleased with her sassy new shoes and cigarette- She had visions of a talented sassy grandson who would take photos of sassy, sophisticated people -all in her brilliant future."
pve
nice price!

what a wonderful shot. i love the looks on their faces!

I think this is one of the best photos of this contest, it's really great. The way Lois poses is very cool, she seems like you can't surprise her, like she knows it all. Tough woman with great clothes!
This is a great photograph.
Whites really pop these women off the page.
The composition, contrast, background, women's eye contact with camera, and the soldier somewhere else... far-away look, nearly blending into the wall. Fabulous contrasts in presence, (and absence-of, which is just as telling.)
Clearly, Lois owns this shot!
I love the women om the left, her attitude chills me! Want to frame this photograph and put it where everyone can see it!
best vintage photo of the lot so far, and great sign for the summery weather
This is a really fun picture -- I want to know more about them all. Especially confident, striking Lois, of course. I also want to know what kind of man won her, so she'd be a grandma someday. :-)
Oh how sassy! I love this :)
These old pictures are really inspiring me. All these women are beautiful because their spunk shows through their clothes and their faces and their posture. Even the woman on the right, much more demure, looks like she owns herself, by the look in her eye. So beautiful!
Sart, Lois and whoever's grandmother she is....this is THE winner for me. just amazing. the style, the nonchalance, the composition, the clothes, the background, the expressions! even the nuance of light....all are excellent. this is a photo befitting of the sartorialist blog.
I had to laugh, my Grandmother Lois was a sassy number herself. Your Lois actually is more "Saucy" to me. Now, I'm gonna have to go find a pic of her and send it in!
wow--I grew up in Yakima! I am going to send this to my parents they are probably around the same age.
thanks
Oh wow...this is so inspiring! I love the whole photograph, and especially Lois. And wooo Yakima! Washington is beautiful.
What I find amazing is that the fashion those two women are wearing is back in now!! Underwear as outter wear, socks and sandals. And that man is a little looker too.
I love the fact that fashion goes through cycles, everything those two glamourous ladies are wearing is back in now. Brogues, underwear as outterwear, socks and sandals. AMAZING! And that man with his aviators is bit of a looker..
Gorgeus women, nice style!
Pardon me for being so 2006, but your grandma Lois held the fiercest pose I've ever seen.
I am from a town 30mi north called Ellensburg. Who ever knew that the "palm springs of Washington" could have such cool folks. Too bad its full of despair now a days.
Well the sign might say eatmore, but those slim folks seem to know their limit. What a stylish bunch, and each with such a distinct personality conveyed. Wonderful photo!
LOVE THIS! Thanks for sharing it with us.
love this one.
now that is SASS, love it!
What an amazing photograph...so much cool in one picture.
LOVE!
i love this photo!!!
simply
breathtaking.
Damn. What a badass. I want to be like her.
I've had to revisit this photo.
It's a masterpiece.
Look at the dynamics created by all three left legs at same angle.
I would love to see a modern fashion photo pay homage to this shot.
I love this photo! I'm also a Washingtonian and I can say that your Grandma was anything but typical of a woman from Yakima in her generation. Looking at her photo makes me wish I'd met her and that maybe we'd sat on the front porch with some beer and smokes telling stories.
I absolutely adore Grandma Lois' attitude. Pre-Rock n' roll swagger at its best!
these people are ahead of their time
Her attitude is her outfit. Way too cool. Waaay too cool.
Granny Lois had moxy! Adore this pic
This picture is fantastic in SO many ways! I absolutely adore the contrast of the somewhat feminine body language of the soldier (crossed legs, hands in lap, looking off in the distance) to Lois, who sits with a strong, open and masculine position, staring the camera right through the lens... and to top it off- the smirk! what a shot! x
this is by far my favourite vintage photo posted until now. it is so cool how the woman on the left is sitting. that attitude in those days must have really made her special.
must say i love this pic. you rarely see these attitudes and expressions in the olden times! brilliant from start to finish.
I love this photo. The lady on the left - fantastic!
Doesn't the woman on the left resemble the model Kim Noorda? She is so stunning that I thought I would point it out :D
that sass! she just oozes a confident classy sexuality. beautiful! and the other two in the picture just complete it--I love to know about all of them
that is one sassy lady!
One of the most remarkable things about this photograph is that the man she is sitting next to seems to be of Asian descent. As well as looking so stylish, she seems utterly at ease, one leg up, a cigarette in hand, her lips a half-snarl, next to the uniformed Asian man. To put it into context, in 1940s in Washington, California, and all along the West Coast, Asians and Asian Americans were NOT a welcome part of the greater society: the war heralded an ever-narrowing of civil liberties for Asian Americans, culminating in curfews and the dislocation of Japanese and Japanese Americans into Internment Camps. The Chinese fared no better; the Chinese Exclusion Act was not repealed until the early 1940s.
To me, she appears to be a cultural iconoclast, not just a sartorial one. What a woman!
oooh... saddle shoes... now i want a pair.
Lois and friends are ace. More ace than a novel full of words could describe.
These are the coolest kids I've seen in years! How did Lois get away with a cropped top back then? She is gorgeousness!
your grandma is officially the trendiest grandma out there!

Your Grandmother is the coolest woman of the 20th century - no doubt.
It's seeing pics like this that makes you think there were no colours in the old days. I can't imagine how this would've looked like in colour... And I saw this pic at just the perfect moment, had Benny Goodman's Sing Sing Sing playing in the background. I can picture your grandma getting all groovey to that tune, caring bout nothin else than having a blast! She looks über-kool and super laid-back, and you can really see she's sharp! Thanks for sharing!
Love her love her! Beautiful!
Such an awesome photo. Makes me really wish I knew Grandma Lois. She's just so damn cool!
And I love the two girls' expressions, especially while the guy in the middle just looks so dazed. Looks like they're planning something, haha. xD
Just love this photo. The attitudes are amazing. It almost seems like this had to be staged, but it probably wasn't, which makes it fabulous :-).
well, things definitely were better those days.
i barely see people that are obviously interested in fashion and don't look costumed.
this is grace.
grandama Lois looks like a badass. fabulous pic!
Looks like Garance.
This picture is great!
She is sharing a sly secret with the camera-I like the lass on the right too, and feel sorry for the gent in the middle wedged b/w those strong female forces!
My Mom grew up in yakima. She had 8 brothers and sisters about this age, so I bet they know these folks or did. She was a few years behind this photo but it just shows the era - love the attitudes as well.
I love this whole shot! The saddle shoes and the whole funky androgynous look..love.
the pictures of your grandmother are amazing. They make me nastolgic and anxious at the same time. Simple beauty and everything else a woman should be captured in what was a probably a basic shot enjoying the moment. Please keep them coming.
Oh my goodness I had a grandma Lois, not quite in Yakima but nearby in Wenatchee! And yes I have similar photos with her and men in uniform (most notably future grandpa but also her schoolmates who were preparing to go off to war). This has inspired me to dig some up!
Grandma Lois gets my vote!!!
A superb photo. In all honesty, until I read the previous posts I hadn't even noticed the other people in the shot. Lois steals it!
I love how the two women look as if they are sharing a wicked secret or joke and the gentlemen looks like whatever they said went over his head. Great picture.
Whooweee, does this photo have a story to tell or what? Loaded with swagger too, just fantastic.
screw typical historical pictures. these homemade shots really give a better impression of the times. they're old, yet touched with such an unstaged sincerity that makes the emotions they convey timeless.
Such a great photo. Three people with great style and personality. Thanks for sharing that.
Michael
LOVED her two tone shoessss
I love this photo.
That shot should be in a magazine - so much attitude!
i love the attitude of your grandma! she looks so good!
WOW!!!! I'm so excited.
I just found out this was posted... This is the photograph of my grandma. Thank you all for such lovely comments.
Grandma was pretty much awesome. Back then Papa was a bomber in the service, shot down, and held as a POW in a German camp in WWII. Even though no one knew what happened to him, she 'just knew' he was alive and would come back to her. He was, and he came home to the love of his life. They have an amazing love story any life story.
Grandma was incredibly stylish and sassy her whole life. She loved style and wasn't afraid of trends. She never cared what people thought of her. If she loved it she wore it, or said it, or did it... she was crazy cool.
And can I plug myself? Maybe. I have a quiet little style blog here in Portland Oregon. Stop by and say hello! http://urbanweeds.blogspot.com
And a super big thank you to Mr. Scott Schuman for posting! Amazing blog. Huge inspiration to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks all!
Lisa
love this. so much.
Haha, i love these kind of photo´s! I like the old school feeling.
I live real close to Yakima. Just brings the picture more to life for me :)
This woman has officially made Yakima cool..at that time. But Yakima now is very much not so. Just a small agricultural town in Washington state where the youth flee to Seattle with a dream of hipster-dom.
This photograph delights me to no end. These two women look like they're about to eat this clueless captain for lunch. The image flies in the face of the 1950s convention of Good Girls and Bad Boys. Clearly the tables are turned here. Fabulous.
She is beautiful - wish I lived, then, sometimes :)
a simply great photo, especially with "Eat more" "giant killers" in the mix.
What a badass.
I love this photo.
I'm from the Yakima area and have a multitude of black and whites of my grandparents in the Pacific Northwest. It seems the class and sass were very much alive in 1940's fashion.
Great photo! Love the faces and poses, love the 40s. Cool shoes.
i want to be wearing her outfit right now! she has such steeze! man!
holy moses she is the coolest lady i have ever seen.
She must have been one independent rebel :)
