Carnival of Genealogy (74th Ed.) Swimsuit Issue
A Canadian Family Photo Archives
Verdun Figure Skating Club, Annual Show 1967
Gisele Theriault (Gen. 12)
The 74th Carnival of Genealogy is the “Swimsuit Issue” so I thought it was time to share this 1960s photograph of my sister. She posed for the photographer – Bob Pichette of Ville Lasalle, Quebec – just before the Verdun Figure Skating Club’s Annual Show.
Her outfit was a 2-piece bathing suit and was meant to go with her routine which was skated to the tune of “Yellow-polka dot bikini”. In those days any two-piece outfit qualified as a bikini! Here’s the music to go with it:

ABOUT ME
I’m Evelyn Yvonne Theriault, a teacher who lives near Montreal, Quebec. I belong to a wonderful family so I’ve combined my two loves into one hobby – family history & genealogy. This site has two main purposes. The first is to share the Canadian Family Vintage Postcard Collection and to encourage the use of postcards by family historians and genealogists through activities such as the online magazine – A Festival of Postcards. The second is to share my personal genealogy & family history information and to help others who are researching Acadians & French Canadians of Quebec and New Brunswick.

Love it! And I remember the song too! We used to have a jukebox in the old store across the road from our summer camp where we would play songs in the 60’s while we drank our sodas.
I miss jukeboxes – especially the little ones that used to sit on our tables in restaurants. I don’t know what I loved more – listening to the music or flipping through the selections!
Thanks for the memories, Jean.
Evelyn, your sister is a doll. Bet she was a great skater as well. Did you ice skate, too?
Great picture, and that song is going to stay in my head all afternoon!
I remember that song. I actually had a two piece suit then, but was older than your sister. Still NOT a bikini!!!
Was your sister on the ice when this was taken? If so, I hope the photographer was quick!
