Sexy! Looks like they invented the mini-skirt while they were at it. I've heard of birch bark shoes, but never bathing suits. It seems like an interesting idea. Everyone here seems to be enjoying themselves.

Penny - Wow, That is very interesting. Wonder if they have any more information than we do. Looks to be about the same. Thanks for pointing out the 2 pictures.

These are great photos. There are more available at the Jones Photo Historical Collection. Here are some more: www.jonesphotocollection.com/Obj596417 www.jonesphotocollection.com/Obj587417 Search 'spruce' on this site and you'll find more, along with a history of the Spruce Girls. The last one died in 2007 in Hoquiam.

This would have such a different tone without the two ominous male figures in the background staring at her. Interesting.

First playboy "bunny"? In all seriousness is this some sort of PR stunt? If so for what?
University of Washington Libraries Digital Collections said:
We were hoping someone could tell us?! We do know that the photographer, Vern C. Gorst, documented Pacific Northwest events between 1929 and 1932. This may have been a promotional event for the Angora rabbit fur industry. There are a few more similar images in the collection.

This is at the Fairy Pond, just off the Nisqually Vista Trail at Mount Rainier National Park. There's a whole series of similar photos that were taken there...
