This photograph is titled “Elks Fashion Show, 1956” but it’s odd to me that all the women are in bathing suits. I haven’t seen too many fashion shows in which bathing suits are the primary or exclusive garment featured. My guess is that this was really a local beauty pageant.

Well-dressed women going places - this is precisely the kind of image that adds to the romance of old New York and, more specifically, Penn Station (ca. 1942). I love it.
