These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Pregnant Chic, ca 1960
These photos were all taken in Fall 1960, when Jackie Kennedy was between 7 and 8 months pregnant with John Jr. and helping her husband campaign for the Presidency.
The three-photo study is her watching the Kennedy-debates on a monitor.
I just love finding photos of her I've never seen before. I keep hoping that one of them will unlock her secrets.
to me the 1960s is an awesome time period
ReplyDeleteJackie was amazing. I can't imagine how hard it was for her to deal with the discomforts of pregnancy while on the campaign trail.
ReplyDeleteSo elegant!
