Would you Choose to be Male or Female in the 1950's?

For some, this may be a hard to answer since times have changed but I would choose to be a female in the 1950's. This is because I would not mind to be the homemaker who cared for the children. 

I do not know if this is because I am more of a nurturing person or if I just like staying home compared to others but I do not judge if your opinion is different. I respect that we all have different perspectives on topics. I just would imagine myself with many children and living that family suburban life.

I quite like how people in this decade wanted to stay in marriage for a long term commitment and did just that. I believe they had a pinning ceremony meaning it is a engagement gesture and for the purpose of marriage.

Although women in this era were about weight and exercise, it is not extreme as it is today. These ladies had healthy women barring bodies and seemed to be proud of it as well based on photos I have seen. 

I am fond of the notion of being feminine and dressing this way. I like girly things, flowers, doing my hair and makeup, etc. The full or pencil skirts are what I would love to wear along with a button down or prim sweaters. 

It is also great that they did not pride in showing so much skin either, I don't know if it is just me but I like to have more reserved clothing. It is just what makes me comfortable. I am not one to be showing off my body with how I looked as I came out of the womb.

Based on what people did in this decade I would want to experience going to the drive-ins, listening to Elvis music, and being a fun and rebellious teenager during this time. 

In this era, it is all about being outside and doing activities with close loved ones and making good memories. Although this is my opinion, I am interested in hearing yours so, would you choose to be Male or Female in this time period?

This a unique box of items that were worn in the 1950’s! I notice there is a pair of glasses and sunglasses. Along with three pairs of polka dot earrings and a silk scarf as well. At the left corner there is a black and white printed headband and a pair of gloves too. There is a total of eight items in this accessory box. My grandmother used to have many of these style of gloves in her closet. When she would show them to me as a child, she would smile so bright and tell me stories of how she got them.

Blue and Red Word Search Book

This is an awesome booklet for those who love the 50’s! It has many pages to keep your brain busy by searching for words with just your eyes. I noticed that is has yellow wording and an arrow indicating to open the book. The front page has labeled the 1950’s on it and the author has made sure to put their name on it. At the top right corner of the red/yellow square you see a star shape. My sister loves to do crossword puzzles and she has a collection of them in her closet. It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.

Skintight White Lingerie for Those who Love the 50's

This is a sexy white lace lingerie piece for fifters! I notice that this type of clothing has a flower print and has an opening in the middle. This part is smooth and is without any substance on it. This piece has two straps on the side that are meant for tights and have metal at the top and bottom. The material is stretchy and is so adorable. My friend has lingerie clothing just like this one and when she wears this, she has a lot of confidence. She always tells me her boyfriend melts when she is in this piece.
