Gibson girl 的詞源

"20世紀之交被認爲時尚的女性"，1894年，以美國藝術家和插畫家查爾斯·達納 Gibson（1867-1944）的名字命名，他的主要模特是他的妻子艾琳·蘭霍恩（1873-1956）。Gibson cocktail（杜松子酒，苦艾酒和一顆珍珠洋蔥）在1914年被證實，有些故事將其歸功於他，但這個術語的起源是未知的。

"She looks like a Gibson girl" is not an uncommon saying; and to look like a Gibson girl, is not without its merits. Although our artist has expressed in his drawings disapproval of women usurping the spheres of men, his girls suggest intellectuality. He has none of the doll-like inanely pretty faces which artists used to give women in olden days. His girls look as if they would have opinions of their own and would act with discrimination in the affairs of life. They are tall and graceful and although not in the least like fashion plates, their clothes are becoming and fit perfectly. [National Magazine, May 1898]

"她看起來像一個吉布森女孩"並不是一個罕見的說法； 而看起來像吉布森女孩，也是有其優點的。儘管我們的藝術家在他的畫作中表達了對女性篡奪男性領域的不滿，但他的女孩們卻給人以智慧的感覺。他們沒有藝術家們在過去給女性刻畫的娃娃般的愚蠢漂亮的臉龐。他的女孩們看起來好像會有自己的觀點，並且在生活的事務中會有選擇性地行動。她們高挑而優雅，雖然一點也不像時尚雜誌上的模特，但她們的衣服很合身，很適合她們。[《國家雜誌》，1898年5月]
