Getting our culture on 💁

Annette Kellerman, Aussie inventor of synchronised swimming and one time arrestee for 'public indecency' in the USA for wearing a bathing suit on the beach. A creepy professor who claimed to have measured 3000 women said she had the perfect physique, the same as Venus de Milo (I suppose he didn't measure arms). Most of these pics are in the collection of the State Library of Victoria.
