Old Magazines From the 1950's!

What I love from this video is that Jasmine is so smiley and happy in her video. You can tell she has such a great passion for the 1950’s.

Everything about this era seems to brighten her day. I love how she styles her hair like many in the 50’s.

She has the waves just like how Marylin Monroe did her hair. It was interesting to view a lot of these magazines that she choose to show her viewers.

How the covers are so different from magazines today. The quality of print on these look more like drawings on the inside and I am fond and here for this look.

 What they have the same from our magazines today is they have the big title on the front and features a photo of people. Whether it be models, actresses, actors, etc.

I noticed that one of the magazines was priced at 20 cents and it seems so cheap compared to ones we buy at the store today. I bought a magazine for almost nine dollars and that was a Harry Styles Vogue one.

What surprised me about these 1950’s magazines was how bright and colorful they are. It seems as they wanted to catch people’s attention to influence many to buy these.

In today’s generation we have more neutral colors rather bright colors to catch many people’s attention to buy these types of magazines.

Inside of these some pages were of what looks like to be drawings and others are photos of people in a black and white filter. The wording at the top is big and bold and then they have a paragraph at the bottom.

I do have to say is that people who made these magazines in the 50’s did a great job of organizing the pages and putting them together nicely. Another page I’d like to mention was of a collage of photos many of them containing one woman.

They took the photo up close and others showed her whole body. These contained her playing tennis and posing in different areas.

Again, these magazines were nicely organized and well put together, I am very impressed. You can tell those who made these back in the 1950’s made great effort to produce quality gossip magazines.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

  Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to hav

4 Scandalous Outfits in The 50’s!

This TikTok video shows four scandalous outfit styles women wore in during the 1950’s era. Jasmine Chiswell has put together great examples. It is interesting to know that during this time period women wearing tight short shorts was considered clothing that made people talk bad about. How it brought a bad reputation to some by just wearing these shorts. Today many people wear skintight shorts but that is the norm in society. During the 50’s women were to wear modest clothing and look like a presentable housewife. You were not to wear anything that counteracted this image. This representation could be good for some but bad for others if they did not wish to follow this norm. Coned shaped bras are quite strange I have to admit. They are pointy and do accentuate a women’s chest. I can understand where people were coming from when coned bras were labeled as a scandalous piece of clothing. They bring lots of amount of attention to a women’s chest area and could make some feel unco

 What Is So Special About This Film? What is so special about it is the aesthetic this woman put into this video. She has such a cheery and fun voice that lights up the room. This woman has the dressing style down for this 1950's style video about beauty routines and how she does not talk bad about it either.  Some people in their videos they have some terrible things to say about the 50's while they are making a video about this time period. She thinks of doing this routine during the week to give yourself some self-care and be gentle with your skin and body.  The 50's themed music in this film makes it even more calming and has a relaxing vibe to it.
