Born Esther Pauline & Pauline Esther (I have to say that seems like their parents got a bit lazy with the naming) they were only 17 minutes apart. Until they were 21, they dressed alike, shared a purse, and slept in the same twin bed.
Unfortunately they feuded on and off for the rest of their lives - both writing competing advice columns it's not such a huge surprise (although a little ironic that they helped everyone else with their problems and couldn't solve their own.)
I like their wedding outfits - the hats are a little silly looking, but they are from Russian heritage so it works. And the 8-year-old girl who loved "Anne of Green Gables" in me loves the puffed sleeves and the peaked wrists, and since it was 1939 I think they can get away with it
What?! I had no idea that they feuded! I feel like I just found out about Santa Claus.
ReplyDeleteI agree that their parents were a bit lazy in naming them.
I like the mutton-chop sleeves (is that what they're called?) too. Minus the hats, the dresses are pretty timeless!
