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...
