Happy Labor Day!

By Plumcake

On behalf of Twistie, Francesca and the whole Manolo gang, we want to wish our American (AND CANADIAN, geesh! -ed.) readers a Happy Labor Day!

How about a little poster retrospective in honor of the working women who came before us, starting with the most famous working girl of them all (no, not Melanie Griffith) Rosie the Riveter, a substantial broad as rendered by Norman Rockwell.

(Illinios? Apparently all the copy editors were needed for the War Effort)

I’ve never cared much for Norman Rockwell, but that one Rosie the Riveter picture has always appealed strongly to me. I think I love the fact that she’s grimy from work and muscular and eating a sandwich without fear or favor.

Happy Labour Day, Canada! And happy Labor Day to my fellow u-deprived Americans!
