Pirate Mona

Pirate Mona by MildlyDiverting.
My grandmother, Vera Mona Wilkinson (nee Ovenden), dressing up as a pirate. Probably taken as some kind of advertising for my great grandmother's fancy dress business.

Isn't she just? She died about ten years ago, and I still miss her. She was a complete sweetie, and yes, absolutely full of beans.

The next time I go to a fancy dress thing, I'm going in the look second from right. Awesome.

Isn't it just? I must scan the rest of the fancy dress book at some point.

I think I particularly love these because it's quite rare to see photos from the 20s-30s where people are mucking around. You get the sense of her personality (which was all about a slightly silly sense of humour, from what I remember).
