She looks tired and/or bored, which she usually was, at the end of her photographic "modeling".

That insouciant facial expression was what made her "sexy" and a "modern day Mona Lisa"; or so it was said, back then.

Here we had an article about a 17 year old who is going to the prom with a 28 year old. The 28 year old, 9 years ago was savagely attacked and raped by a black thug and left her paralyzed. The 17 year old is doing a film about the attack. Titus O’Neal (the WWE star) is financing the film...

Still rather young for the grooms, when it was "normal" for men to not marry until they were somewhat "settled", had good jobs, and could afford a wife and a family.

Would I be wrong is assuming that they were farmers/lived in rural areas?

I ask, because, in the Victorian/Edwardian ears, in large cities, people married at a later age ( though still young, when compared with today's stats ) than those who lived in the country did.
