Big Toe!!
FOUND by Karla
in Shelby, North Carolina
I found this in a old china hutch that was purchased from a thrift store. I have no idea who she is or where she was at but she looks happy!

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
The budding young podiatrist examines her first patient - It's the worst case of toe fungus ever!
By the clothes and hair I'd say early 60s...post-crinoline but before hippy clothes and jeans. The artwork is very late-50s.
"I know, kids! Let's get up a SHOW!"
I was thinking she might be a nun. Looks like a little black veil thingy hanging down her back. Hip younger sisters started wearing shorter habits around that time. But the shoes don't really work with the outfit. I don't think nuns (back then anyway) would wear shoes with ankle straps. I could be wrong...
@ Eusta. Nuns were not allowed to come out of the Habit until after Vatican I. The shoes are what caught my eye too. For all you ladies out there struggling to find the perfect shoe, keep on doing it! Men do notice them. They don't always have to be sensible. Whimsical is acceptable. Oh yeah, back to the find, it is a good one. I wish it was in color. I bet her outfit was in vivid colors.
Dogbreath, I think you mean Vatican II, held in about 1968. Vatican I was the Council of Trent which took place in the Middle Ages, the 1200s or 1300s I believe.
It's not a veil, it's long straight hair caught up on the back of her head with one of those wide clips. You can see on the side of her head the "wings" of her side hair. I bet her hair was beautiful. It shines even in this dark photo.
Not to be argumentative or know-it-allish, my friends, but V2 was opened in 1962 & closed in 1965. For sure by 1968, hip young nuns were being seen in shorter habits in major metropolitan cities. And I bet some of them started redesigning their wardrobes as early as 1966.
Not that Any of this Matters ... in my story she's a nun, probably a Catholic school drama teacher.
On second look, I think it's not a veil after all, but merely a shadow cast by very strong lighting. So there goes my story, shot full of holes.
What's in her hand? Camera? Stuffed animal?
Then the clown said "Surprise that's not my Big Toe!", and Sister Manual Consuelo said "Oh, I've heard that one before when Monsignor Flynn used that one on the younger Altar boys down to Our Lady of Perpetual Motion..."
Kind of scary. Anything with a clown is scary.
EW. Disturbing protuding erect toe. Disturbing single-tooth clown.
Why is she touching the toe! I'm screaming into the hills...
ugh. I just threw up in my mouth
But really, isn't "Rachel in NYC" more horrifying than any clown?
You know what they say about a man's toes . . . or maybe that's nose, I forget.
@ Orinoco ... don't mean to get all reference librarian-y on you, but:
Council of Trent - 1545-1563
First Vatican Council (Vatican I) - 1869-1870
Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) - 1962-1965
and a Happy Reformation Day to you all!!!
Thanks LITW, I at least knew the name of the place and a bit of what was enacted. High Plains, now my sides hurt from laughter!
~I'm glad you people think pedophilia jokes are so hysterically funny.~
I'm sure there are plenty of us childhood abuse survivors out here who find such pathetic attempts at humor to be boorish, appalling, and in extremely bad taste.
Really, HPD, you can be quite hysterical at times, but you really should drop the pedophilia humor from your routine.
I love clowns! My daughter was a clown for Halloween when she was two, so it's cool to see this find on Halloween. My mother took up clowning as a hobby after she retired after working for 25+ years as an elementary school librarian. She gave away pennies as part of her clown act. Once she was on her way to a clowning event and was in need of more pennies, so she stopped at the bank to get a couple of rolls. They freaked out and thought she was trying to rob them.
This particular clown is extra-charming because he's seems old-fashioned and retro.
I think this was taken in the mid 1940s, maybe during WWII era. Her shoes, the puffed sleeves of her blouse, the skirt length, and her hairstyle, all look like 1940s to me.
And also.. I love photo finds!
How about Lace Catsuits on chicks with boy boobs?
Hey Eustace, feel free to skip HPD's posts if you're having a bout of humor dysfunction.
@Upset Stomach: You fucking coward. Why don't you use your "real"name, you miserable, impotent weasel?
Do you want me to think this is how HPD responded to my request to have some simple compassion for CHILDREN, who through no fault of their own, have had their innocence ripped from them and their lives ruined forever? Or is this, in fact, one pissed off HPD? Whoever you are, you have to be one jack-off perv, probably a child molester yourself, to refer to this as a HUMOR DYSFUNCTION.
It's your posts I'll be skipping in the future. Not that it'll do any good, because you'll just change your weasel name and keep hammering away at me. Responding to your pitiful "best shot," I know I'm just setting myself up for more of the same. WhatEVER.
I didn't deserve what happened to me as a defenseless little girl and I don't deserve this bullshit either. I wouldn't wish any kind of abuse on your children, but I hope to hell you get yours someday, you sorry sack of shit.
Touche!
Eusta, I think you're in the wrong place. there's always going to be something/someone in here to hurt your feelings. There's always going to be some insensitive boor making poorly thought out jokes.
Your response indicates that you're a victim, not a survivor.
Wow. The things you didn't know you DIDN'T want to know about your fellow Found commenters. Waaaaay TMI, Eusta B.
Didn't you ever read the disclaimer*?

Journalist, is that what you're getting at? What's the underlying meaning about the Rachel in NYC comment?

Oh, and I thought it was his hands...
I guess I shouldn't demonstrate the following wrestling moves either:
The Half Nelson
The Full Nelson
The Father Nelson...
@Bored . . . . I was referring to the horrible American Apparel ad that flanked this find the day it was posted. Ghastly.
There's no underlying meaning. You people are trying too hard.
"YOU PEOPLE"? What the heck is THAT supposed to mean? (kidding. humor doesn't translate well in this medium, does it?)
I'm either very fortunate, or I'm missing out completely. I don't even see the ads for American Apparel on my computer.
