21 Old Photos of Girls Misbehaving
Sometimes, a girl just needs to misbehave! These remarkable photos from the past show a couple of our favorite "misbehaving" photos. Note: we condone all of these activities!
This 1922 photo from Chicago shows two women being arrested for wearing "scandalous" swimsuits that didn't abide by the decency laws of the time. What a hoot!
Kicking Back After Work. You can tell these girls are enjoying their time off after a long day of work! It looks like they've grabbed a bottle, some food, and headed up to the roof to catch some sun and share the latest gossip. I bet they could tell some stories! If you look closely, it looks like not only have they brought a nice bottle of drink up with them, but they took the time to craft the bag in to a horse!
Nothing better than taking a break in the summer! We love this early 1900s photo of a group doing some Saturday afternoon wading at the lake! You can almost hear their sons saying, "MOM!"
"Hey Maude, I've got an idea: let's add some flair to our dance show by putting our heels on, but...dancing on ICE BLOCKS!" You go girls.
Drinking from the hose in 1912. You can picture that she asked her husband to pull over just for this purpose.
Teachers on spring break in the 1920s.
Boxing in Heels in the 1920s. This shot captures some of the fun of the flapper era when showgirls and entertainers did just about anything - and everything - in heels!
Dancer's gonna dance!
Ballet in NYC in 1925. This photo makes us so dizzy, but you can tell these 1920's ballerinas were having a blast for this publicity photo shoot on the roof of a building in New York City. Must have been quite the time to be alive, don't you think?!
Mack Sennet's bathing beauties having a little fun on the beach in 1918.
Showgirls with Bustled Dresses. These girls look like they were ready for a great day down at the local festival! Just look at those smiles. The Edwardian bustles are also such a fun look - just as long as you didn't ever have to sit down and mess them up!
Two girlfriends fighting decency laws with their new pairs of "short shorts" in Toronto in the late 1920s. They look modest compared to what you see today!
Sharpshooter Annie Oakley while touring with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, 1890. She was the original rebel.
A group of girls pose during a sleep over at Peace College, Raleigh, NC, c.1910's You can almost hear the giggles and gossip!
Swim Race in New York in 1904. "Last person in the water is IT!" Can't you hear that shouted just a moment or two before? This 1904 photo from a lake in upstate New York shows what fun people had when they went down for a day at the lake!
A view of two friends at the Paris Races in the early 1900s. You can tell by the look on their faces that they've been having a great time!

A young woman clearly enjoying her day at the Beach! Atlantic City, c. 1905 by W. Vander Weyde. Stretch those arms and have a good time, girl!
During WWII, everyone chipped in. Some of our favorite photos are from a collection of women who worked to "Keep Them Flying" at Douglas Aircraft Company in 1942. There were many "Rosie the Riveters" during that period, and they jumped right in and took some of the hardest jobs out there.
Suffragettes rebelling and going after the vote in an early protest!
"Here, gimme a drag of that, Sally!"
Bathing Beauties in Atlantic City ca 1900. Ever wonder what the swimsuit edition would look like 100 years ago? Well this was about as scandalous as it got, and you can tell that both of the girls were having fun with it! We can't imagine it was much fun to have damp wool suits on, but I bet they loved the photoshoot itself!
