She just looks like a hipster girl from 2013. I'd hit it in 2023.

But she was probably infinitely classier, so there's that.

She has a George Washington face. Put a powdered wig on and first pic looks like a dollar bill.

Pre-shampoo beauty was strange.

Have you seen some of the whales out in public today? She’s a supermodel in comparison.

IMO, she's actually a beautiful woman who was born into an era where the cosmetics industry still had a ways to go. My hair would probably look like that if I had been born then...as hard as that is to admit!

A comb would go a long way ... a comb or a weedeater.

For the record, the beauty pageants back then didn't have a 'talent' component. Evaluations were made just on straight-up, no-nonsense physical attractiveness. That's what I like about that older era. They weren't yet culturally bedeviled by embarrassment over the innate superficiality of these shows, and compelled to expand them into areas that catered to their own pretentiousness. Didn't have that silly guff in 1924.
