Apartment Boxing from the Fifties.

One of the more frustrating things about being a catfight fan is that while the internet has an incredible amount of material on offer, it's not always easy to find certain things.  Found a picture from a great photoshoot? want some more?  Then be prepared for disappointment. sometimes that one pic is all you get.

But sometimes you get lucky and stumble across some more which means you now have enough to tell a story.

Years and years back I found a couple of pics where two Bettie Page-era women were duking it out in boxing gloves, leaving one out cold and the other striking a victory pose over her prone rival.  Excellent!

Naturally I was overjoyed when I recently  found two more pics from that same set.

See what you think.

Personally I like to think that this was a couple of housewives settling a dispute.

Topless Wrestling Edwardian Style

The idea that men might be interested in watching two women fight has been around for a while. Supposedly the Greeks and Romans enjoyed getting slave girls to battle it out. Historians have yet to confirm this.

What we can confirm is that in the days of Victoria and Edward there was enough of a market for postcard producers to put out things like this:

Bettie Page Destroys a Blonde

Bettie Page was one of the catfighting pioneers and seems to have spent a lot of her career rolling around living rooms with other glamour models. There's still something fascinating about these vintage pics.

In this fight Bettie takes on blonde rival Jackie and emerges triumphant.

Who would win? Vintage lady boxers.

Two boxing beauties from yesteryear. Loving the old-school bikinis and I wish that look was more common these days.Baggy shorts that hang down to the knees are not remotely sexy.
