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).

I've heard that too, but I couldn't find any proof.

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.
