this photo, because I was intrigued. (And also because it was a dollar.)
I have no idea what the hell is going on with these two.
Theories? Or heck, if you want to use this as a writing prompt, be my guest.

I think they’re acting something out (as said above, something about a girl being stuck on a fence, a classic scenario in old-fashioned children’s literature). Maybe a scene from a LITTLE COLONEL or ELSIE DINSMORE-type book. They look a little self-conscious, and their outfits look carefully put-together. Isn’t the lower one a girl wearing a woman’s dress?

i think you’re onto something there — i thought of some kind of play, too, especially considering the fence-sitter’s lipstick.

“Oh no! I caught my dress! I’m so upset!”
“You little whiner! If I can get my hands on you through all these petticoats, I’ll give you something to be upset about!”

my first thought for a backstory was:
“Lorraine explained to Natalie that there really was no such thing as being bisexual, but that she’d help her off that damned fence and take care of those bloomers at the same time.”
