Here is the photo I submitted. It's my grandmother and mom at a Farmers' cooperative store in the Philippines back in the late 50's. I chose this one because they're two of the ladies who mean a lot to me. I'm enamored with my grandmother's dress here...the stripes remind me of sunshine rays.
I'm not sure if my photo will end up in the final photo gallery for voting. My previous entry for their "One Sunny Day" Photo contest certainly didn't. Hey, it's worth a try.

That is such a gorgeous photo. I also love your grandmother's dress! It's gorgeous :) Good luck on your entry, I hope you win. All my vintage photos are stuck in storage somewhere in the Philippines. :)
priceless!
looking at this photo, made me recall my mother's old photos... how come in the 1980's or earlier, it seems that it is easier for them to be that slim? mmmm... no fastfood chains, perhaps?
thanks, sinta!
shiera: jollibee was already in existence in the 80's...but the reason people were slimmer in the past i guess was because people ate healthier food, not a lot of processed/microwaveable junk we have these days.
old pictures speak volume. good luck!!!
i love vintage, and your grandma's dress is sooo fab! she's got style!
