Thanks for finding and posting these images. Aside from the rainwear it is very striking compared with now how much thinner the women seem.

I'd love to see them, the posted ones show timeout error - I hope it will work later. Love the old vintage pics esp with SBR macs and capes.

Looks like the site is experiencing problems at the current time as nothing will upload there - could just be a temporary glitch. Try again in a day or so.
