Anti-Flirt Club

By Alex in Pictures on Nov 12, 2008 at 12:08 pm


Don’t flirt with that woman! That’s Miss Alice Reighly, president of the Anti-Flirt Club of Washington, D.C. The 1923 club is for women and girls who have been embarrassed by men trying to flirt with them! So much for the Roaring Twenties!

    Honestly, she does not look like she should have been in too much danger of being flirted with. Woof.

    Well if I were a woman with a face that looked like Don knotts, I'd savor every flirtation that came my way.

    I don't look like Don Knotts, and I STILL savor every flirtation that comes my way!

    Okay, I'll join in the jokes
    At least the flag pulls focus from her face

    When was reverse psychology invented?

    "embarassed by men in automobiles and on street corners" sounds more like unwanted flirting to me. I already had this one saved on my hd. Never know what historical reference you might need in the future.

    She's hot. I can see how she would have a problem with guys hitting on her.

    That's why I skip flirting and go straight to smooching. ;)

    I didn't know J.F.K. was a cross-dresser.

    So basically it is as club for women that should have gone into the nun hood.
