ala Diane Arbus?

more of the acquired film strips from a news agency

   headlines from Fort Wayne, Ind.  august 31, 1936  vol. 8  489

"'TWIN BILL' A HUG SUCCESS
Fort Wayne, Ind.---Nearly a thousand sets of twins gather for their fifth annual convention at Trier's Park.  Both sexes and all ages are represented at the strange gathering from the youngest, one month old, to the oldest pair, eighty one years."

 do they give off a Diane Arbus feel to you?
 notice the tags hanging from their necks??
 strange...hope no one switched the tags around!

Oh I love these. For someone who doesn't have brothers or sisters, a twin is downright unimaginable! Look ~ http://www.twinsdays.org/

I like this, too. But wait, I see "Bob's Your Uncle" up there. Which Bob??? I must check that out.
