My great grandmother in the 30s Egypt, with her friends in the first 3 pics, the other pics 40s early 50s is her reunited with some of her friends after they got married and had children
You see my grandma the kid with bangs in the last pic? By the 90s she and my mother will be forbidden to go to beach alone or without hijab because it's haram.

The fact that they stayed friends long enough to have their kids play together is the real Old School Cool. Lifelong friendship is such a treasure.
They look great,. It is so sad that Egypt became another country full of first cousin marriages, and this aesthetic now looks like a dream.
That’s a great picture.
These photos feel so alive. Crazy how much a society can change within one lifetime
It’s amazing how much a simple beach or garden hang-out hasn’t changed in 80 years. Same vibes, different century.
That one woman looks like Natalie Portman in pic 4.

These pictures are wonderful.
Feels like we’re going backwards once we hit the 90’s.
