R.I.P. Naomi Parker Fraley (a.k.a. Rosie the Riveter)

1F1A8EF3

26 Mar 1942, Alameda, California, USA — Pretty Naomi Parker is as easy to look at as overtime pay on the week’s check. And she’s a good example of an old contention that glamor is what goes into the clothes, and not the clothes. Pre-war fashion frills are only a discord in war-time clothing for women. Naomi wears heavy shoes, black suit, and a turban to keep her hair out of harm’s way (we mean the machine, you dope). — Image by © Corbis All This and Overtime, Too © Corbis. All Rights Reserved.
