Welcome to /c/[email protected] , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Essentially, there’s really no evidence linking this image to the Miss Idaho competition. The best information that could be found is this theory: In the late 40s and early 50s, old school PR agencies for models and talent in beauty contests were using images of women with various fruit, vegetables or meat/protein products.
