Title: The Auction Site
Post by: andyg0404 on July 30, 2015, 06:10:49 PM: Hi,

I was searching the auction site and found this.

In those days, although wigs existed, they weren't made for kids, & boys didn't usually wear hair that long. The shoes & socks worn could have been worn by any gender of kids in those days.

I search the auction site for boys modeling dresses on a regular basis and I’m surprised I find it so seldom. I guess most mothers who use their sons as models don’t mention it.

I like the photo of the German boy, he has that look that I might have had the first time I wore girls clothes outside. Loving it but scared somebody I knew might see me. Thanks for brightening it up Betty and thanks for the find Andy.
