Once upon a time, radio was sexy. As were zaftig figures, checkered shorts and the Stepping High Dance. From the online archives of the Los Angeles Public Library. Thanks, Mr. Science!

Well at least zaftig figures are still sexy. An' why doesn't anyone wear their hair like that anymore? I love it!
Thanks, Mr. Science! I'll be losing sleep now to the to top and bottom right pics!

I'm a little worried about that one where she's in the pool. I hope she didn't drop the radio in and get electricuted....

The young lady in the pool is holding a crystal set - no power needed. Come to think of it, using a crystal set in a pool is a pretty good idea. Good counterpoise (go look it up).
I lust for those radios. And the girls, maybe.

Cool retro-iPods!

Your zaftig comment is rather ironic, since the attractive lady in the photos is normally-proportioned--"normally" meaning "what women tend to look like." As opposed to the concentration-camp ideal society uses to make women feel miserable and insecure.
