Bomb girls

I just caught my one on this new mini series about World War II women at work in a munitions factory.
"Set in the 1940s, Bomb Girls tells the remarkable stories of the women who risked their lives in a munitions factory building bombs for the Allied forces fighting on the European front. The series delves into the lives of these exceptional women from all walks of life - peers, friends and rivals - who find themselves thrust into new worlds and changed profoundly as they are liberated from their home and social restrictions. "(Imdb)
Bomb Girls premieres on Global Television in Canada January 4th.

Something to look forward  to the new year !
 






Sincerely,
Swell Dame

I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.
