January Hussy of the Month!

Bring out the Gimp.”

Why, yes, my dear ducklings, it’s the return of the Hussy of the Month! While this 1921 photo apparently depicts “Rubber beauty masks, worn to remove wrinkles and blemishes,” believe you me, these are hussies and they’re up to no good at all. Why, they’re probably writing a manifesto arguing to allow women to show their bare ankles.

Daaaang, Girl! It’s the January Hussy of the Month!

I can’t quite put my finger on what makes this woman a brazen hussy. Her short sleeves, perhaps? The hustle of her bustle?

Whatever she’s doing, it’s attracting far too much male attention, and thus it must be rife with sin.

Halloween with Hersteria

Happy Halloween, Dearest Readers!

Are you still stumped over what costume to wear? Well, help is here! I’ve found some delightfully ghoulish Halloween costumes that are fun and cover enough ankle as to be decent. Let’s get started!

I’ve heard there are many popular films concerning a certain Bat-Man. Won’t your friends be wowed when you dress as that caped crusader?

Here’s a sure-fire crowd pleaser: Sexy Rollerskating Widow with George Washington Eyes!

Ooooh! Spooky!

There are plenty of options! One could dress as a Ballerina Jewelry Thief, an Unsuspecting Mummy Victim, or a Smoker!

However, you can’t go wrong with one of the classics: ghost, witch, or Toothsome Mystery Chef.

July Hussy of the Month

Oh. Oh dear.

I… I don’t even know where to begin. But in the name of decency, I shall persevere!

Allow me to list the filth:

• Bare forearms

• stockings showing

• riding a swing side-saddle

• a clearly unmarried man and woman alone together without chaperoned supervision (obviously, no wedded couple would partake in such goings-on)

And, really, the less said about the postcard’s message, the better.

June Hussy of the Month (Plus PSA!)

Dear Readers,

I am here to warn you about a scourge in women’s behavior. I am talking of course about the habit among many young women nowadays to sit in an incorrect and unbecoming manner. To wit, one should keep one’s knees held tightly together, or perhaps cross one’s legs at the ankles, while keeping the skirt or dress smoothed neatly over the legs.

.

Below is an example of how not to sit.

No, do not be fooled by the book in her hand! Notice how this pseudo-intellectual slattern is perched upon the step, knees up and her undergarments clearly seen by all. For shame, miss!
