Microfiction Moday # 61

A washboard, a tub and a girl (called Dolly?) washing doll's clothes?
What ever happened to Women's Lib and washing machines?



Thanks once more go to Stony River for prompting a typical Jinksy reply to this week's Microfiction Monday challenge of writing a little something in less than 150 characters. Feel free to count them if you must, but I assure you they're well within the guidelines!

  2. And she looks like she's enjoying doing the laundry! Of course, she's a model and being paid to look attractive and as if she's having fun. Ivorine knows how to get housewives to buy their product!

  5. Hey Jinksy, I like your ยต-fiction! :) Is your lady, Dolly, washing doll's clothes or Doll's clothes?
    ..
    Mom had a Maytag (doll's) machine. Until we got electricity it had a small gasoline engine to power it.

  6. Jim, it's doll's clothes, because the picture struck me as being juvenile!

  7. Maybe Dolly was just a bit ahead of her time wishing for that Maytag. Like it that Dolly is washing dolls' clothes. Nice play on words.
