Looks like Elmer's making a spectacle of himself. He's perched on top of a bear pull toy, leaning over a container of flowers, and holding a stuffed bunny rabbit and a bear. Lord knows what he has draped over his head. Please, Elmer, leave the kids' toys alone and just grow up!

This real photo postcard doesn't bear a stamp, postmark, or date but was addressed to: "Mrs. Daniel Ohlinger. From Mrs. Edwin Ohlinger."
Handwritten message: "Dear Mother, We are all well at present, hoping this card will find you all the same. Earl is as naughty as he can be. Try and come down. I must close--the mailman is coming."

A real photo postcard of a guy and a gal hugging and kissing at an awkward angle out in the yard (is that a kid's toy wagon they're sitting on?). And judging by the tilt of the picture, the photographer evidently had a slanted view of the couple's relationship.
A kissing photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park topic of knitting, fishing, and kissing (photos of people who are knitting, fishing, or kissing; post examples of all three if you have them.).

No, probably not the Watusi. She has one eye closed, a hand on her hip, the other on her head, her left foot's out, and she may be shaking it all about. I think it could be the Hokey Pokey—that might be what it's all about!
In any case, this was my strike a pose runner-up for the Vintage Photos Theme Park over on Ipernity: Doing the Watusi?

Slide dated October 1959, location unknown.
Hilarity ensued as these two men carried the woman through a doorway into a house. Judging by the corsage that the woman was wearing and the flower in the one man's lapel, I suspect that they may have been celebrating a wedding anniversary.
Note, too, that a television set is partially visible behind the doll on the left.
