Rosie's Rockin' Sister
It's not often that I scroll past the first screen of Wikipedia, but after spying today's Featured Picture, I'll be peeking there more frequently. There are roughly a million cool things about this 1942 photograph of an aircraft worker in Burbank. Can you find them all?

Her lipstick matches the tip of her inspection tool?
That would be one of my favorites. When I first saw this at somewhat smaller res on the wikipedia main page, I thought she was wearing camoflage. Click through to the higher res, and you can see that it's a stylin' gabardine blouse with shoulder pads — quite the contrast to the gloves. And have I mentioned the hair yet? I suppose I'm a sucker for glossy 40's style, but I think this photograph is gorgeous.
Figured out what the armband says yet?
Her freckles?
I'm a sucker for freckles.
And two points for Tits.
I think the bottom two words on the armband are Inspector and Aircraft.
Not sure about the top.
And two points for Chris: Vega Aircraft Inspector.
Why have you foresaken us? Do you not love us anymore?
Well it's pretty obvious. That's an Arcman S-47(A) 32 slot roto-coupler with 30 gage triple wrapped vinyl (Tri-C) coated cable which was not in use by the air force until 1948. This photo is a hoax.
