love it! fairly wealthy family it looks like

So I am old. My mom was one of 12 kids and my dad had 5 brothers and sisters. This reminds me of the get togethers we had during Christmas and New Years Eve. Everyone dressed up and having a great time. Miss you all...

60 year old new year party!! Thank u!

The photographer had a light bar with four really hot bulbs to get this on film. Blinding.

Very nice. Definitely some positive influence from "Camelot" for the attire..

I remember how much it meant to a man to take his wife out in a mink or other expensive fur and for the wife just as much. He says to her "you are worth it" and she wears it knowing people think her husband is a real 'catch'. Simple sexual politics back then.
