i swear you backdate these and i find them only when i scroll down my friends page on accident. also i am glad you are not totally dim (or dimmed, as the case may be). my favorites are bitsy and the henrys, and the names and descriptions fit so so so well with the photos that it's almost hard to believe you invented them all.
Cool photos. It's so strange how the names you've chosen for each person are somehow totally appropriate for their body language and overall physical appearance.
[This street level view is of the Broadway side of the Flatiron, or Fuller Building, near the narrow north corner. Filmed on a very windy day, pedestrians of various descriptions are seen passing by the camera, clutching hats and skirts against the wind. According to some New York City historians, this corner was known as the windiest corner of the city, and in the era of the long skirt, standing on it was considered a good vantage point for a glimpse of a lady's ankle. Policemen would chase away such loungers from the 23rd Street corner, giving rise to the expression "twenty-three skidoo."]

Peer at this for more period millinery voyeurism (although there's a fair amount of millinery abuse, as well.)
