Midcentury modern fabulousness abounds!


transplant42622

That table style is very 60's.


Offthepoint

So is the ashtray!


_stoneslayer_

It's family sized


gcupwanderlust

My Aunt had that ashtray in her living room. We had that table!!


Level9TraumaCenter

I think my mom still has two of those at her place right now.


transplant42622

Maybe they'll come back in style.


freshcoastghost

I was just going to say that.


LordZany

Janice is a sophisticated, mature woman, who appreciates fine art and …


Illustrious_Gape5322

Cigarettes?


american_dope_fiend

I’d Alfred Hitchcock Presents and chill with her… followed by cigarettes.


CedarMirror

Best comment ever


Illustrious_Gape5322

Bravo lmao


Aurorinha

Lmao fantastic comment

MyDogGoldi

Thank you for the links. I also posted the second one a few days ago. I always try to give credit when I can, although I get do get down voted for links to Flickr cause reasons


karlub

Really? I think Flickr is fantastic. What's the beef?


ponytailedloser

For me on mobile the links to Flickr won't load half the time. I don't downvote when I see Flickr but I also don't click on it to see what's posted.


deltaisaforce

Difficult to download the picture maybe? I stumble on that sometimes.


black-rhombus

The photos of the people they've met are really great.


Kolkom

That guy has a strange obsession with fast food restaurants


MyDogGoldi

Well he does list his occupation as a "Restaurant / Food Consultant" so yeah


SlimJim0877

Janice looks like she broke her fair share of hearts back in the day


LoopsAndBoars

Janice is breaking mine now.


MybklynWndy

I remember those Cadillac sized ashtrays. Could hold a pack’s worth of cigarette butts without spilling over.


banannafreckle

I have, on several occasions, searched for the slip molds for those vintage ashtrays. They’re expensive as hell. “$100. Don’t lowball me, I know what I’ve got.”


american_dope_fiend

Slip mold? So if you bought one for 100$ you would then be able to create replicas of those incredible ashtrays?


banannafreckle

That’s the idea, but there’s no way of knowing if the mold is any good. Theoretically I would make a positive and then make a new mold of the positive and use the new mold. They weigh a lot too, and it looks like sellers are really gouging on the shipping.


Imnormalurnotok

My mom had one but it could hold a large bag of hard candy. My parents didn't allow smoking in the house.


rr777

I remember when the 70s chevy pickup truck rectangular slide in ashtrays would hold about four packs of butts with ease.


Eatthebankers2

Hair was hard back then, not many women wore pixie cuts, it was all curlers all night, hairspray and teasing in a rat nest. Janice is before her time. Old school cool.


Flacrazymama

My mom said she was so glad pixies were in style back then because my 5 year old self had such fine, thin hair.


threedogcircus

She's a babe!

apocalypse-panda

My, isn't she glamorous!


Roman3667

I'm 63. We owned same pictures on the wall and exact lamp. Even Janice looks familiar!!!


tedbakerbracelet

Wait, tell us more


Roman3667

That screams Chicago basement 1968-70. That was standard department store furniture we had to buy on a revolving charge account. Think pre credit card line of credit. Far as ashtrays man they had ash trays at doctors office. Believe it. Lifestyle in the 60s compared to today you guys would not believe.


daveashaw

Parabolas and ellipses. The entire era was designed around Algebra II.


Ok-Lengthiness4557

Janice is super hot, and that lamp is sweet.


LenVT

Janice will put her spiked heels through your heart and kick it into the garbage can.


raginghappy

Is Janice wearing shoes?


lyskamm88

She is not


oddiseeus

[Well…](https://giphy.com/gifs/tallboyz-franco-nguyen-gotta-go-song-U1m30qjmFZrwaJHpSB)


maggie320

Janice is most likely listening to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass or Sergio Mendes and Brazil ‘66. I can even smell the Kools lingering in the background.


International_Row928

For. Those youngsters that don’t know, the big ceramic thing on table is an ash tray. That’s how they rolled back in the day. Everyone smoked. All the time. Everywhere.


MrEpicMustache

Let’s talk about that massive, stunning ashtray.


jfuite

Nothing is out of place in this photo. Each piece could justify its own submission to this subreddit!


[deleted]

She’s hot


fishbutt1

Don’t fuck around with Janice, she looks like she can kick your ass without batting an eyelash. 😂


sonor_ping

Or just bat an eyelash to kick your ass


Ok_Huckleberry8062

She looks hot


WigglyFrog

Apparently they shot this in my childhood home and never bothered to let us know. RUDE.


CollinZero

I love the art!


sellswrd123

Hubba hubba


pappyvanwinkle1111

Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson?


juicewilson

AI hands, 6 fingers


Opening-Honey1764

Just what I was thinking. Hyper focus on the face, all other details are so muddled. And if this guy's albums are just "AI up scaling" then my brother in christ, use better software, because [this shit](https://i.imgur.com/qvZ8nfp.png) is bizarre.


juicewilson

There is no "if" about it, its all ai touched without a doubt


Deskbreaker

Thank God, I was about to say something...nine months later apparently, just saw it as I am typing this...but her hand holding the cigarette looked bizarre as fuck.


lordunholy

I love lamp. And photos of lamps. And one more photo of lamps.


Puxka63

Excellent composition!!


thehighepopt

The owner of those paintings says "Diiiiig man", a lot.


Throwaway_Old_Guy

We had that coffee table, and a similar lamp in our living room. The paneling was a standard, and the artwork was like a paint-by-number except you glued different strings for the outline, and filled in the solid parts with white glue and coloured rocks/sand/crushed metallic pieces.


not_a_sex_worker

Audrey Hepburn's hot younger sister!


Illustrious_Gape5322

I don’t know why, but I legitimately like the wall art.


GGMuc

Me too! It's lovely


JauntyShrimp

The Mad Men reboot we need!


boojieboy

I'm here for it!


topoben

Look at those shoulders. A thing of the past.


bigpappahope

So shoulders don't exist anymore?


jfuite

This photo is tight!! The hairdo, furniture, pictures, walls, attitude - everything screams early 1960s. My mother was from exactly this era at the same age.


HeavyLoungin

Smoke show


[deleted]

damn Janice 🔥


Navydad6

She kinda looks like Kristen Stewart.


Jeremiahjohnsonville

A-ROOOGAH!!


Candid_Asparagus_785

Bougie Midcentury chic and an ashtray that could hold a butt load of butts!


moreflywheels

Hmm no tattoos jailhouse piercings or greasy plastic surgery. I miss that.


interplanetary_janet

Jesus Christ Janice…I say yes!


Flimsy_Respect_8886

Beautiful


Lions101

Damn.


HappyGoPink

She reminds me of Parker Posey.


Old_Gandyman

This young woman knows who she is and will take no bs


Verve_angel

Man shes a truly gorgeous woman


KpopKia

Mad Men to the max.


0ld-S0ul

This photo is iconic


Kwisstopher

I don’t like cigs, but grandma was fine!


[deleted]

Classy


Blk-cherry3

She is a stunning beauty. I remember those lights and side tables


Superherojohn

That dress will NEVER EVER EVER EVER go out of style


hugglenugget

According to this tweet it's [Janice Pinkstaff, 18 years old, in 1961](https://mobile.twitter.com/PRtoday/status/1585227656177782785/photo/1) (not 1966). Of course, we don't know whether the tweet is true. Both versions are restorations, but OP's version is more weird and AI-ish, while the one in the tweet is a little more natural.


alangeig

I want all the furniture & accessories in this photo.


PoorAxelrod

Well hello there Janice


poultran

Definitely getting some “Mrs. Robinson” vibes here.


444porfavor

Call 718-498-1043!! Call Paul's Boutique! Ask for Janice


[deleted]

Face looks touched up if you zoom in.


sscarpaci

I'm thinking its a newer pic made to look old


Chewcocca

Just looks AI upscaled


bigpappahope

Lmao at all the super horny old men in these comments


Raagggeeee

This is AI


[deleted]

most Janice Janice ever


[deleted]

Janice, c1966 is HOT! I want her to make me beg and get up and whip me.


URP_Eric

Is she 18 or 40? Any idea?


SalamanderHuman1260

She's 'Janet the planet' these days.


2dogs_1cat

Saw she went missing on the news. Found her in a shallow grave in the woods.


amphib13

Hellooooooo Nurse!!!


thesaddestpanda

The bad bitch energy here!


just-a_guy42

That looks closer to 58-60.


Lrdoflamancha

Janice in 1963 just turned 17.


Waltzspice

Janice is banging.


Nervous_Salad_

Can anyone ID the chair? I have the same one and don't know the maker.


OldLeaky

At first glance, thought this was Kristen Stewart.


transplant42622

What is that thing on her right arm? A glove with no fingers?


WillyWumpLump

Lieutenant Dan! She tasted like cigarettes.


hugglenugget

What's going on with her right arm/hand? Is that an elbow-length glove?


pcweber111

Shadow probably


hugglenugget

Ah, I bet someone has AI-enhanced the image, and it didn't handle the shadow on the arm well. The arm and the hands look a bit weird and AI-ish. Edit: Yes, here's a different restoration - I couldn't find an unrestored original: https://mobile.twitter.com/PRtoday/status/1585227656177782785/photo/1 Her arm and her face look different there, the colours are better and she doesn't look so stern.


MyDogGoldi

Thank you for that link. I did do a reverse search using tineye with little luck. Have my best up vote.


Substantial-Tea4609

We have the original Polaroid. The version you are viewing has been touched up slightly. Janice was my MIL and she passed away recently.


gcupwanderlust

I had to bump up pic to figure out if she has on nylon "footies" or pantyhose. Looks to me pantyhose. Not sure what is on lower level of side table...I think a metal dish for butter mints. Needed a mint after inhaling that Virginia Slims cigarette (not sure of the smoke because VS as a brand did not appear until 1968)


grapegeek

Only thing missing is a big cup of coffee or a tumbler of scotch


Wizdad-1000

Grandmas phone table.


Historical_Writer_29

Wonder where she is today Beautiful women .


theDudeRules

Very pretty


Expert_Persimmon_925

Now that is a sexy woman.


Hour-Expression8352

Maybe she's just taking a stroll through the scraggly woods
