Elegance in the Blitz
I found this photo of Kirkby munitions factory workers posing around a bomb (from National Museums Liverpool's The Blitz website) intriguing - the juxtaposition between this huge lump of lethal metal and the group of well-groomed, elegant young women.
I shouldn't be surprised - if I had to work in a bomb factory, I'd still want my mascara and some great shoes. It'd probably be even more important to me if I was put in that situation.
