Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
-- Mark Twain --
One of my ongoing retirement projects is to collect all of my photographs in one place and in digital form. Along the way, I keep reminiscing and running into little stories. Here's one.
In the following three photographs, taken respectively in about 1944, 1968, and 2005, each individual is wearing the exact same item of clothing. Note the accessorizing that individual number two has added with the shoes and socks. All three poses are interestingly similar!! I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine who is who. The big question is whether or not this item of clothing will make it to yet another individual in another few decades. Who would that be, I wonder!!

P.S. Extra credit goes to anyone who can correctly tell me exactly what this unnecessarily frilly item of clothing is called.

I'm not sure what it's called, but I'd say baby number three looks a little big for his britches.
I was about to say the same thing -- I had forgotten how chunky that monkey was!
