Puffy with Pleats Seeks Same


Here is another image that I got from civilwarphotos.net. First thought after seeing this Confederate soldier was how great that jacket would work for multiple friends, females of course. Thinking of the Confederacy, being someone not from the South, I have an image of overalls (denim, for sure), a shotgun and some sort of ridiculous beard. He definitely has the beard down but you have to admit that men were pretty gay when they got suited up to kill.

Civil War Photo Surprisingly Contemporary

Recently, the government lifted a media ban on the photographing the fallen that Bush41 and put in place and it inspired me to look
to the past before the initial ban of World War I. I came across this photo when I was looking at Civil War casualties. Despite him being a prisoner for conspiracy, he looks as if he could have just been in a photo shoot in modern day NYC. I really don't know why I love the collar so much but I do. As a friend pointed out, he looks like a sexy Christopher Reeves.
