hoodoothatvoodoo: my-ear-trumpet: laquotidienne: turnofthecentury: Don’t Hit Me With Your Swagger Stick  My Aunt Ida and her cohorts posing for the camera. I guess the date about 1920  see also from Bodie Bailey Flapper girls, in less stereotypical flapper girl fashion, I’m guessing. Love the sauciness/sass in this photo <3 And the fact that OP used ‘cohorts’ to describe Aunt Ida’s companions.
