Miss Washington, above, won the title in September of 1921 with knees “daringly bare.”
By 1923, hemlines had shifted to show yet more thigh. Can you even imagine wearing stockings to go swimming?
By 1935, the winner received a crown, robe, scepter, and a moment on the throne.
No wonder Atlantic City has been immortalized in art.

I wonder what color Ms Washington chose for her “swim suit”? Surely it wasn’t black.

It seems like the current would just grab our skirts and take us to our death.
