Who is this charming lad?

[Bucky]

(pssst, no fair peeking) Hint: it not Haley Joel Osment. But damn, it sure is a close call...

[Clio the Leo]

1. yep, put little glasses on him and you can totally see it. NT

[Captain Hilts]

2. I know who it is.

ER: I know, but won't tell!

[tridim]

3. I had to peek, so I wont spoil it.. He looks a bit like my little brother. nt

[BlueJazz]

4. Obama ??..Oh...That's right..He was Black before the election

[Bucky]

5. How can I find out? I have no idea. nt

[Bucky]

11. right click on image and select "Properties"

the name of the file is a giveaway

[gateley]

17. Thanks -- I kept rolling over the pic thinking it would show up, but I was wrong. nt

[Nedsdag]

6. That's FDR, right?

[DebbieCDC]

7. FDR

[Demoiselle]

8. Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

But he DOES look a little like Haley Joe Osment. Nice sweet sensitive face.

10. Here's an even funnier pic of the same guy

No joke.

13. They didn't call that decade the "gay 90s" for nothin'

[sohndrsmith]

14. wow - I was about to ask, "Are you sure?" but then I found this from PBS:

after a haircut or before it grew that long. He looks younger (to me) in the image below, but not by much. Either way, it's sweet. Most babies/toddlers were dressed similarly at that time, I think, even though it seems odd or strange from today's perspective..

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/historyofus/web12/features/see_it_now/32.001.html

Be fun to find images of similarly dressed Rebugs as babies. I'm sure they'd declare that dressing toddlers so femininely would make them gay. Sheesh...

[liberalpragmatist]

16. Right - it used to be common to dress little boys as girls

... in upper-class families, before their first haircut (when they were about 3 or 4).

[boppers]

21. It's not dressing boys as girls.

It's dressing babies for diaper changes, with skirts that allow easy access, and waiting for hair growth to stabilize (hair isn't always easy to work with for the first 3 years).

Myself, now that I'm an adult, I wear a kilt, for similar, but different, access reasons.

:evilgrin:

12. My first thought was Biden but the clothing obviously proves that wrong. n/t

psst...I peeked, and - I was right! .... (It's not Biden).

: )

[Libby2]

15. That was my first thought too.

[wildflower]

26. I thought it was Biden too! n/t

[Beacool]

18. I didn't peek, but I guessed it correctly.

The lad is dressed to go riding and the boots look custom made. Therefore, it had to be someone wealthy. The rest of the outfit looked late 19th century or turn of the century.

;)

[burning rain]

19. I'm guessing Jay Rockefeller.

20. Boner!

[sakabatou]

22. The things around his legs are a little bit of a give-away

[Hepburn]

23. The polio hit him as an adult in 1921....

...so I don't think the leggings in the pic had anything to do with that since in 1921 he was 39 years old.

[sakabatou]

30. Maybe for me then.

[Beacool]

24. They were common at the time when going horseback riding.

;-)

[FlaGranny]

25. They still are common

for horseback riding.

[Beacool]

28. Well, now we tend to use a full boot.

I don't get people that ride wearing sneakers.

[FlaGranny]

29. Oops - my eyes aren't so good.

I need to have cataract surgery. I thought those WERE full boots. Gotta make an appointment soon. :-)

27. FDR
