1929

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all, and I stood tall And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing And now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way Oh, no, oh, no, not me I did it my way

Bathing suit censors with their tape measure at Venice Beach, California in 1929.

Who knew that there was a literal fun police patrolling the beaches in the early ‘20s? In the early 20th century deputies referred to as "Sheriffettes" were hired to make their way across the beaches of the eastern seaboard to make sure that women were dressed decently while enjoying their summer.

The bathing suit police would measure suits to make sure they were suitable, and they would also check people on the beach to make sure they were wearing “complete street attire” if they weren’t on the beach. The swimwear fuzz desperately tried to keep everyone modest, but as the decades went on and necklines plunged they finally just had to give up. [More stories with images]

A savage woman 🍊

Ethnographer Bronisław Malinowski, in his monograph The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia, published in 1929, which initiated the social anthropology known today, describes the erotic fun the natives of the Trobriand Islands.

It is called kamali and involves the girl inflicting bodily pain on her partner. For a boy, it is an expression of passion, temperament and love, which can be compared to the role played by a kiss in Western cultures. A girl in love can hurt her beloved by scratching, beating, biting or using a sharp instrument, and he happily accepts these attacks and is proud of his wounds.

Erotic pain infliction does not only occur early in the pairing of young Trobrianders. When the love caresses become more passionate, the couple freely begins to use their teeth to bite each other's lips, bite the cheek, or pinch the nose and chin. Drinking blood from mutilated lips, even pulling out hair and nibbling at eyelashes (also catching each other's lice and eating them!) is part of intimate, unwitnessed lovemaking and a mutual expression of passion.

What is worth noting is that the woman, based on Malinowski's observations of wounds on men's bodies, is more active when exchanging painful caresses. 

(The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia, B. Malinowski, New York 1929, pp. 252, 256-257, 333)

While studying this passage, I began to wonder if all women bite more often and are more bloodthirsty? The 1953 Kinsey Report found that men and women were almost equally sexually aroused by being bitten (55% of women and 50% of men had an erotic reaction after being bitten by their partner). I also came across information that Marilyn Monroe was known to draw blood by biting the lips of her partners. Again, I can't confirm this, so what do you think?

Not my current interest being the Great Depression lol.

I find it curious and wonder how new the idea of “credit” was at the time, as it seems at least part of the issue was people buying stocks with money they <i>did. Not. Have. </i> like….. we know now that is a bad idea, but did the people in the 1920’s know? I can’t say.

However. Like everything in CAPITALISM seems to go, of course the rich dudes decided “hey we can buy each others stock and make it look more valuable!” But bitch that didn’t work!

But also, mass panic (although I hesitate to place blame on the average person) didn’t seem to help. Like…. Don’t take out loans to invest in the stocks and then freak out the second the stocks look a little scary???? Don’t invest money you DONT HAVE????? But also fuck the rich that tried to pay to pretend the stocks were fine?????!!!!!!! OMG -____-

I can’t even conclude this, as I have yet to finish re-researching this piece of history I thought I knew so well when I was 12 lol.

Also, wtf, it took a WORLD WAR to fix this?!?!

Why on earth did humans invent money what the hell.

Might follow up later - we’ll see XD
