shanmonster: (Spasmolytic)

These are the Epler sisters, as photographed by Maurice of Chicago. The date is theoretically in the 1930s, but I think it's at least another decade or two after that, considering the other photos I've seen of his. Anyhow, I have no idea who these women were, but I'd sure love to know more! Their headdresses have giant feathers and giant horns. How awesome is that?

Crazy!

It's like the lost tribe of California-sufer-viking-girls raided Texas to make new hats!

I think you should dress as an Epler for Hallowe'en.

Can't I be a California-surfer-viking *every* day?

Anyway, I don't know if I could find the horns, let alone a big enough pointy bra ;)

You wore horns before. Well, antlers, anyhow. I suppose you could substitute dunce caps for the bra. And yes, you certainly could dress like this on a daily basis. I'd love to hear the academic reaction to it!
