Have you tried going to a tanning salon to get a tan? Nowadays, the quickest way that you can get a tan is through your local tanning salon. If the beach is not an option for you, this would be your quickest way to an even tan. Want to know how they did it back then?
In 1949, men and women went to a special place to get their skins darkened. In this photo, we see a blonde woman holding a nozzle that is connected to a machine that sprays her skin with tinted tan color. Amazing! Does this sound and look familiar? Yup! It’s exactly the same only the machine is different.
The Birthday Procession of Queen Elizabeth
Visiting London has its perks. If you were one of the few lucky people to experience those stiff guards outside Buckingham Palace, then you might have wondered how they could withstand harsh weather conditions, like standing under the scorching sun or standing under the pouring rain.
In 1970, during the Birthday Procession of the late Queen Elizabeth, one of the soldiers fainted. It even happened at the worst possible time because as she was passing by, the soldier fell flat on his face. We don’t blame this guy for not being able to control himself; standing in a heavy uniform on a hot sunny day is indeed a challenge.
The Original Ronald McDonald
Scared of clowns? Maybe don't look at this photo, then. For those of you who stayed, can you guess who this character is? Hard to believe, but this was the original Ronald McDonald. Creepy, but ture.
This is what the fast-food mascot looked like in 1963. Here we see him with a tray of fries and drinks while waving at the crowd and the photographer. Back then, his face featured a cup for a nose and clown-y face paint. Fortunately, he looks a lot different today.
Albert Einstein
Oh, look, it’s Albert Einstein as never seen before! What a treat! This photo was taken in 1939 in Nassau Point on Long Island, New York. Einstein is the brilliant man behind the theory of relativity and was the Nobel Prize winner in Physics back in 1921. Who can forget all of his contributions to science?
“For his services o theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect” Seeing Einstein in a pose like this relaxed and enjoying the beach is a total surprise, well compared to how he is usually documented, this is totally better!
Andre, the Giant
This is just adorable! This image shows a young boy who is completely in awe before Andre the Giant’s sheer height. Did you know that this guy was over 7 feet and 4 inches tall? Even better, did you know that he was a wrestler and an actor at the same time? No wonder this little boy showed so much love for him.
In case you were wondering, his most famous role was in the film "The Princess Bride," where his gigantism, caused by an excess of the growth hormone came to good use. Of course, this little boy did not understand a thing, but his face surely shows his love for this gentle giant, and we totally agree with him!
