Here's a little something to tantalize my sister. This is from 1960. I don't know if she'll remember it, but I do. We're posing at the farm in our "bubble suits", classic sunsuits of the era. I remember loving the bright multicolor dots and my red cowgirl hat. I always wanted to be Annie Oakley. I'm 5 and she's 3. Don't I look like I'm pretending to be Marilyn Monroe!I do remember one real drawback to these one piece suits was when you had to visit the outhouse...not much fun when everything has to come off, even as a little kid. For those of you who've never experienced an outhouse in the heat of summer, consider yourself blessed. Even as a child, I was more affected by odors than every one else seemed to be. It was the one thing I hated about going to Grandma's.

Haha.. that is a great picture!
Oh my goodness! I don't remember that picture but I've thought of the bubble suits often. Seems like we got a new one or two every year.
Looks like I was being difficult again. And you... what a little flirt you must have been!
I'm so happy that you shared this!
Ha! I remember sunsuits too - and I was born in '62. They weren't the easiest thing to remove when you had to go to the bathroom - plus someone always had to tie them up again after. Mine usually had those tie-top thingies at the shoulders. Even tho we lived on a farm, you still couldn't run around showing your, um... teats. LOL
Cute pic, BTW!
