Come Fly With Me
This photo was taken back in 1959 and shows a Swedish stewardess named Birgitta Lindman alongside a showgirl. But what exactly is going on here? The stewardess, Lindman, was having a look at the showgirl’s costume after hearing the announcement that the stewardesses would soon be getting shorter uniforms soon.
If you look at Lindman’s current outfit and compare it to the showgirls, well, there is quite the difference. In the 1960s, stewardess’ uniforms became shorter and less conversative — but the difference between the two women here is striking. Fun fact: one year prior to this photograph, Lindman had a moment in the spotlight after winning a competition to appear on the cover of Life Magazine.
