Description
As American life transitioned postwar, the lifestyles of teenage girls flourished. "Tulsa Twins" showcases the transformation in teen girls, such as by presenting cutting-edge, trendsetting, “New Look” clothing that made girls look more flirty and feminine. In an up-close-and-personal photo shoot, serving as representatives for all teen girls nationwide, identical twins Barbara and Betty Bounds show off their fashion style, social life, and domestic tasks. “Tulsa Twins” welcomes you visually into the fashionable social world of middle-class, postwar teen girlhood, where being a lady requires domestic responsibility and acceptance to be “one of the crowd,” and in which “parties with boys are their favorite things in life.”
