DescriptionBlack and white photograph of six women dressed in matching can-can dress-style costumes at a Gay Nineties themed Staff Club Christmas Dinner. They are identified on the reverse of the photograph as, Miss Mochach, Miss Bradley, Miss Calahan, Miss Maxine Webb, Miss Molly Feeley, and Miss Fedora. The women are posed in a line with their front leg raised and bent at the knee, each has their back arm on the shoulder of the woman in front of them and are holding up their skirt with the other. They are all wearing dark sleeveless, knee-length dresses with white lace underskirts, dark stockings, and pantalets. Their hair is styled in various updos meant to emulate styles from the 1890s.
