"Canaries" at work, England, 1917.
Women who worked in British armory factories and were engaged in the equipment of artillery shells, were nicknamed "canaries" for the specific yellow skin color.
Trinitrotoluene, with which the shells were loaded, caused severe liver damage, so that jaundice was an occupational disease of female workers. About 80% of all British weapons and ammunition used in the First World War were produced by women.

Moscow. The Red Square. Elizabeth Taylor with her husband, singer Eddie Fisher. July 17, 1961.

A stunningly beautiful woman. Such women were in sight only in the days of Eisenhower and Reagan-Bush, both in the USSR and in the USA. After that time, the USSR turned into a dumping ground for alcoholics, and the United States turned into a dumping ground for hippie drug addicts. It was a large left eclipse of the world. Three years later, Khrushchev was also removed. They even tried to forget about Yuri Gagarin, the symbol of the great Khrushchev era of the thaw. They spread gossip about his imaginary alcoholism, etc. In the photo, he clearly does not look like an alcoholic to a greater extent than real alcoholics Stalin and Brezhnev

Gagarin a year before the disaster. Does he really look like an alcoholic?

He took care of his health, went in for several sports, was a good family man. There is no doubt that he was killed by the KGB, because he had authority among the people and could interfere with the left coup.

Symbolism of the great era of Eisenhower-Khrushchev: Height. The man went up into space. In the film Height, the romanticization of the labor feat of assemblers and so on.

The symbolism of Stagnation: a drunken degenerate in the stands, alcoholics and swindlers in pretty roles shine on the screens. On the stage was Pugacheva, an so-so woman with pretensions to elitism. Films show the buttocks of naked boys, Fags everywhere kisses passionately. The handwriting is immediately visible.

In 1953, 27-year-old Merlin twisted her ankle on the set of the western "River of no return" in the Canadian Rockies. The photos were taken by John Vachon commissioned by LOOK magazine. A sprained ankle prevented Monroe from filming, which allowed Vashon to photograph her for several days.
In 1971, the magazine went bankrupt, and the negatives of the Vachon, along with other materials, migrated to the archives of the Library of Congress, where they were discovered only in 2011. Here are some of them.
