Ruth and Ella Myles aka Beauty Poses, British Pathé, 1935 / src of GIF: gypsyastronaut
Various shots of acrobats Ruth and Ella Myles performing graceful balances and contortions in the studio. They are both extremely supple! Both wear white swimsuits with black belts and tie and the neck. Their final feat involves one girl doing a back bend and staying in that crab position while the other stands on her pelvis and does a back bend there!
