Sketch by Karl Lagerfeld, c. 1942.
The earliest known drawing by Lagerfeld—from 1942, the year he turned 9—shows him taking a nap in his room, his bedside table crowded with books.

I really like the head cannon of Steve and Bucky going on double dates with lesbians as mutual beards. And of Steve constantly attending protests and having a rap sheet a mile long for it, which was then wiped by the military when he became Captain America. That he swore up a storm before he was a soldier, but never in front of his mother or where the church ladies could here him. That when he picked a fight with a bigger kid cause they were being Anti-Semitic, a Jewish Bucky Barnes knocks their lights out as his first meeting with Steve. And when Bucky would get dragged to church by a well-meaning Sarah Rogers, Steve would always make an effort to go to temple with Bucky.
I just- I have a lot of feelings. And I can’t find any of them in any fics and it hurts.

"THE SOUND OF DISTANT AIRCRAFT GROWS LOUDER AND LOUDER...!"
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a reportedly composite photograph of German Heinkel He 111 bombers over the English Channel, flying low in order to avoid all possible British radar frequencies, c. 1940.

Would never describe myself as "a bright little patriot" but an all-black outfit with a grape-colored bag absolutely sounds like something I would wear
What are you wearing?
Transcription:
Photoplay, December 1941
Be a bright little patriot and take your color cue from your state flower for the gayest-hued season that's ever dazzled America
BY MARIAN H. QUINN
Alabama…goldenrod
A bright gold wool furless coat with a taupe belt
Arizona…saguaro cactus
Be as draught-resistant and as showy in the Lasso boots on page 60* — maybe a pair of red ones
Arkansas…apple blossom
The apple-blossom pink and blue wool striped collars and cuffs on your wool dress
California…golden poppy
The gold buttons you'll wear on anything; maybe they'll be massive carved ones for your suit
Colorado…columbine
A purple crepe lining for your black day suit
Connecticut…mountain laurel
The new plaid combination — purple with mountain-laurel pink, navy blue and white
Delaware…peach blossom
A wool dress the color of peach blossoms under your dark coat.
Florida…orange blossom
A needlepoint purse worked in orange-blossom pattern
Georgia…cherokee rose
A simple white crepe dinner skirt; a sweater of yellow pailettes
Idaho…syringa
White or cream rayon slipper satin waltz dress; wear a black snood and black gloves with it
Illinois…wood violet
Violet silk stockings (honest!) with your violet evening dress
Indiana…zinnia
Be as vivid in a bright orange or red hat worn with black
Iowa…wild rose
Sequins forming a pattern of roses all over your evening bag
Kansas…sunflower
Bright woolen jacket of orange; matching orange gloves
Kentucky…goldenrod
Circular yoke of gold crocheted yarn topping a black wool
Louisiana…magnolia
Magnolia-pink rose on the big pillow muff of black lace you'll carry with your chemise dress
Maine…pine cone
New combination of pine-cone brown with baroque pink
Maryland…black-eyed susan
Smart suit: A black jacket with a yellow skirt
Massachusetts…mayflower
Interpret it broadly; be shipshape in a wine middy-top dress
Michigan…apple blossom
Pale pink crepe blouse; deeper pink jacket; black skirt
Minnesota…moccasin flower
Soft-soled moccasins of gold-trimmed white kid for dancing
Mississippi…magnolia
Pink velvet piping on your black dress
Missouri…hawthorn
A waist-length red velvet cape trimmed with jet for evening
Montana…bitterroot
A whole suit of peachy pink for the tea-dancing hour

The gold service insignia of your beau on the left-hand (nearest the heart) glove
Nevada…sagebrush
Sage-green shoes to go with a sage-green monotone costume
New Hampshire…purple lilac
Clogs of purple satin for your purple dance dress
New Jersey…violet
A purple felt hat with your dark blue wool suit
New Mexico…yucca
A creamy white dog collar of pearls to make you as imposing
New York…rose
Red-as-the-rose red with black; perhaps knitted red gloves
North Carolina…oxeye daisy
A snow-white angora felt cloche with a yellow grosgrain band
North Dakota…wild prairie rose
Belt with a buckle that's made of a cowhide prairie-wagon wheel
Ohio…scarlet carnation
Carnation-red wool jacket piped in black to wear with a black skirt
Oklahoma…mistletoe
The dress on page 63**; wear it and see what happens
Oregon…Oregon grape
A grape-colored suede bag, only contrast to an all-black outfit
Pennsylvania…mountain laurel
Pink brushed-wool hat for your dark suit
Rhode Island…violet
A violet plaid tweed coat
South Carolina…jessamine
Over your black dress wear a tight-waisted tunic of yellow wool
South Dakota…pasqueflower
A purple wool suit and its surefire accessory—a yellow sweater or blouse
Tennessee…iris
The lining of the black peplum on your black wool, a blue as deep as the iris
Texas…bluebonnet
Blue suede gloves, blue velvet bag as an accessory team
Utah…sego lily
The white and orange cockade of finely pleated ribbon on your red velour hat
Vermont…red clover
A clover-red corduroy dress
Virginia…dogwood
A creamy satin waistcoat to wear over a black-velvet skirt
Washington…rhododendron
Deep pink snakeskin gloves to match the belt on a black dress
W. Virginia…great rhododendron
Combine a pale pink with Dublin green in a jacket; wear it over a nut-brown dress

HELLOOOOOOO good here I bring you a drawing with them as old people, I almost never draw them like this because originally I did not know how to do it as they say "he who does not risk does not win" and well here you can see how beautiful the babies are.

Hazel Brooks photographed by Bud Graybill, 1947.
(Photo caption) "HOLLYWOOD’S LATEST HEAT WAVE – HAZEL BROOKS – MAKES HER FILM DEBUT…………This girl has everything, including coppery-hair, long and lissome limbs, and the kind of green eyes that make men talk to themselves. She will be introduced to film fans in Enterprise Studios’ “Body and Soul,” which co-stars John Garfield and Lilli Palmer. Judging by backfence gossip and night club table hoppers, this Brooks has more than what it takes. Robert Rossen directed the picture and R. B. Roberts produced."
