"A League of Their Own" was on tv last night. I saw this movie in the theatre when it opened back in 1992, long before I was into the retro lifestyle and vintage items.I really enjoyed it then but now I appriciate all the little things, like the hair, the clothes and those old school buses the girls travel around in.
"A League of Their Own" is based on the story of The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, that existed from 1943 to 1954.
Just like in many other areas of society, the war provided an opportunity for women to do something that had previously been reserved for men.
But even professional athletes had to be ladies. Charm school was a requirement and slacks were not permitted as streetwear.
The movie version of the 1944 Rockford Peaches.
The real Rockford Peaches.But what I really wanna know is how they managed to keep up such amazing hairstyles on the playing field? Geena Davies looks amazing even when she's scruffy and sweaty. Maybe because she's Geena Davies.
Oh, and she speaks Swedish. Young Geena was an exchange student in Sandviken, Sweden.
I remember reading an interview where she said that she had never met boys who were taller than her before she came to Sweden.
