'The Vision' episode #66 A picture of Margaret

A Picture of Margaret? 'New Orleans Menace' episode #10—Not only did I notice the picture but the first time after Lucas checked on Mark, he leaned back against the wall with a frown. The second time, after hitting his head on the picture, he smiled.  In my imagination (which can really be different) it was kind of like the picture hanging there helped to make everything OK. Thanks Linda C.!

I took a few pictures from a couple episodes of Margaret/ Margaret's wedding dress.  Notice the difference.  'Shivaree'/'The Princess' - odds n' ends - picture of Margaret's gown.  Cowgirl!

In 'The Boarding House' episode #22—Julia/Big Anna is wearing a somewhat see-through blouse. There is a shot of her back, and she's wearing a bra, and from what I could see it looks like what modern day women wear. Were "bras" around then or is this a blooper? Thanks Donna a.k.a. Picklemum

Who invented the bra?  A French woman named Herminie Cadolle was the genius behind the cups and straps. Cadolle,  a corset maker came up with the concept in 1889, ...she added cups to the tops of corsets, originally dubbing it the "corselet gorge." Her creation premiered at the Great Exposition in Paris and was a smash with the ladies, propelling the budding entrepreneur into a life-long career in lingerie. Madame Cadolle led a pretty amazing life. She was a very successful businesswoman in a time women rarely worked outside the house. Cadolle set up shops in Argentina and brought over the best French seamstresses to train her staff. She traveled the world, outfitting the rich and famous, while watching her business grow into a bust-ling enterprise. The company still exists today as Cadolle Lingerie. So being that the McCain's Came to North Fork in 1881, 'The Boarding House' aired in the first season making this 1881/1882????? The bra had not yet been invented.  Cowgirl!
