Yikes. Talk about needing beer goggles. 
I’m sure they had great personalities. Theres not even one attractive lady in that list.
I’ve seen COPS episodes of hookers in Las Vegas, for example, and given the meth addiction, alcoholism, coke addiction, etc. they’re not much better looking.
WHEW…My Mother was in Montreal during WWII.
She is not in any of the pictures. And she was an attractive young lady at that time.
Al Czervik: Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it.
I was all set to point out to you that standards of beauty were very different then, and someone from the 1940s would have the same attitude toward today’s streaked and permed hair . . .
But then I looked at the pics, and I have to agree with you.
Lina Tony (second from the last) looks just a bit like Ned Beatty.
So was mine.
Of course, she was an infant at the time.
The first one isn’t so bad looking. You gotta give some leeway, mugshots aren’t high end photography and they probably weren’t all that happy about the whole thing.
But still. . . .
Well to be fair, I suspect very few of their clients would be likened to Adonis either. 
1940s Canadian prostitute eyebrows left a lot to be desired. They’re all horrible except the last one.
It looks like most of them have at least one glass eye.
It’s an alcohol fueled industry, like tattoos.
Frankly, I doubt most of their clients were looking for just another pretty face.
You get what you pay for.
I know it’s the Daily Fail, but according to the captions, most were arrested for running a brothel, not being a hooker themselves.
It’s the “Edith Piaf” look.
Legit tattoo artists will decline to ink anybody who has been drinking. They say it thins the blood, but I think it’s about liability.
As for the hookers, I’m sure they looked a lot nicer in person. Spend a winter in the woods, then go to Montreal and you would likely be overwhelmed by their beauty.
Ah, they’re 1940s style death hookers.
The face of hooker is not particularly important to her clients.
Delicato Bizante Lucie appears to be wearing a sailor suit. Don’t say that she’s appealing to a fantasy – she’s a madame (as, has been pointed out, most of them seem to be)
Actually, most of them look like Lunch Ladies. Maybe this is what 1940s Montreal lunch ladies did after the lunch period was over.
No wonder curling got to be popular.
