Masked Lady
FOUND by George Gillis
I found this photo in a library book that was sold. The book was "The Adventures of Moll Flanders."

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...
This is still my all-time favorite find.
great legs whoever she is!
I hope the lady herself put the picture in the book. Maybe she's a bit too shy but wanted to do something daring.
Fantastic legs, fantastic find.
Good shout Kayala. I hope she placed her photo in the book herself as well.
She haunts me. I feel she must be a shy girl with a rich fantasy life, and wearing the mask made her feel empowered and daring, as Kayla suggests. I'd like to think she got some that night but I guess she just came home to her lonely apartment to feed her cat. Who knows? Hope she finds out we think she's beautiful anyway.
I love it!
RAWR!!!
I would kill for those shoes! Super Hot Find (SHF for short)
Moll would be proud :)
It's a long shot but this photo may have been taken in our downstairs living area by the previous owners of the house. The only difference between the photo and our downstairs is that there is white carpet where the wooden floor is in the photograph. We never use that door anymore because it leads to the outside and we don't want people dragging in debris across the carpet. It makes perfect sense to me that there was once wooden flooring there since it was the only door leading to the backyard when we bought the house.
Too bad those legs no longer exist. They're beautiful. And I'm a straight woman! But these were just a moment in time and now if they are even still walking, I'm sure they are wrinkled and fatter. Perhaps the skin is paper thin on them. Sad, how time passes. Nothing ever remains beautiful.
A masquerade mask, shoes with pom-poms and fuzzy hotpants? I don't think she's shy. But she is demure (!) which in an outfit like that is fantastic. I think she's someone's grandmother now, and I really hope she passed on the legs. They're amazing, and that was my first thought about the picture too! [-I'm also a straight woman. :) ]
i want her legs too....
I hope this was a bookmark used by her boyfriend, or better yet... her crush. And now they are old and wrinkly and married with granddaughters with fantastic legs.
It's a guy.
that's how I want to go down in history. sexy mask, hotpants, and demure glance away from the camera.
You know, this picture honestly reminds me of my Mom a little. The age is about right, the look is about right (though it's hard to be sure with that mask), the only thing I don't know is the location. My Mom was a hottie in her day, but I'm not sure she'd wear an outfit like that. Hmmm....
If we could see the top of the bonnet, I bet there would be cat ears. Not only is she beautiful, the books in the bookcase indicate that she is smart. Actually, I think she looks like Della Street on Perry Mason.
Hi Clover! At first I thought that thing she was leaning on was some kind of gas heater or something. Then on closer inspection I realised it's a little bookcase. Maybe a 'buy one a month' book club type of thing -- with matching white leather bindings -- and you get the bookcase for free?
However long ago this was, those books must still be around somewhere. Weird thought.
*sigh* I love this girl.
This is such a beautiful picture. Me likes.
Haunting. A thousand stories could come from this picture. Someone was madly in love that night. No doubt. Beautiful. I hope it finds its way home. Wow and Moll Flanders really? A picture like this sticking out of an epic tale of an orphan girl turned "lady of the evening" only to find true love in the arms an artist who hires her just to paint her form... and then finding fortune only through masquerading as a rich woman...
I think someone was posing her when they took this shot. It kinda fits.
I hope she has fun at the ball!
Beautiful legs
what the f... Dad!?!?
I wish I looked like that. I know...Ralph Waldo Emerson (and plenty of others) would slap my wrist. But I can't help but envy!
