    This family photo from 1976 was created by the bastards on Madison Avenue, who, in 2020 or 1920 might have been facing a Mann Act conviction, based on the ages and ethnicities of the subjects and their relative and absolute ages. I am unaware of any infraction involving the overpacking of underwear, but I wouldn’t trust the welfare of that little girl to that obviously lecherous woman for more that 30 seconds under klieg lights. And, ignoring for a moment the lasting damage this photoshoot must have done to the self-image of that child, why is this woman packing no bras? OK, no dresses or trousers or blouses I get: you can buy that stuff in the gift shop of the hotel, but who buys bras in the gift shop? Peanuts, mixer, R-rated magazines your spouse wouldn’t allow in the house, USA Today: that’s the shit you buy at the gift shop.

    This woman and her alleged daughter (the Mann Act trial might find differently) are going to parade around Majorca or la Rive Gauche in panties: no wonder the ICE dude is “examining” the evidence. The kid might be innocent, but I wouldn’t trust any of my female relatives under 60 with either of the other two.

    Sorry, I forgot the goddamn question.

      Innocent? The kid’s got bags of blow stashed in the side pockets of that little overnight case. The panties are just a distraction.

        Clue, sounds like you have some inside information on this topic. I was thinking a mother and daughter packing 240 pairs of panties and no toothbrush was prima facie suspicious, but, as an old man, I don’t keep up with the travel practices of today’s younger crowd. I assume the ICE officer is keeping his stun gun holstered and fondling the panties because these females are not obviously Hispanic or Islamic. That’s one strategy the mules use these days: send the white chicks, lead with the panties, and stash the marching powder.

        In this case it’s pretty obvious Mom has been sampling the baggage, and continues to gnaw on the rolled Benjamin in her right hand. Nonetheless, they’re about to walk away, free as birds but a little jumpier.

    Sweet Jesus I used to work at 292 Madison ave. Didn’t realize this debauchery was one block over.

    Creepy.

    They’re flying to Japan, where they will make an absolute fortune.

    It occurs to me that the lady might be making a break for it. I fear that she’s on her way: meeting a man from the motor trade. With plenty of supplies and no fear of sharts, She. Is leaving. Home. (bye bye)
