DRESSING ALMOST ALIKE, SOMEWHERE, USA, 1957
by Charles Phoenix
CHARLES PHOENIX SLIDE OF THE WEEKThis slide isn't about garden hoses snaking though lawns of mid-western/mid-century ranch homes or polished and proper suburban sisters posing with their hands behind their backs like they've been handcuffed.
