Where is the modesty?

I love old photos and i especially like the grittiness that can be viewed in black and whites. As i do quite often i found this photo on tumblr and i was drawn to the image. The female is pale skin fights through the background and her silhouette gets lost in the shadows. The vintage woman is something that i yearn for currently. My definition of a vintage or timeless beauty is a women that is attention grabbing in its truest sense. She's pretty and sometimes powerful but doesn't always need to over stimulate the male eye into proving how sexy she is. Simply by the way she carries herself others can tell by her personality that she simply is that way. Somehow all those things are gone long and lost in an era of a sexually aggressive society. Is modesty really a lost art?
