People in the 1950's Were not Clean

This video starts off with a medical doctor reacting to 1950's health films. As usual they use a narrator over the film.

I would it was the trend back in the 50's to use narration for everything and I do like it in my opinion. 

It starts off with the film of a young boy running with his dog and the reactor seems amused by this concept. 

He pokes fun at the dogs name which was Mr.dorag. I have to agree that naming your dog this name is odd but it is cute as well. 

Moves onto how back in the day there was an awareness for kids not to get overtired from playing too much outside. 

In today's world children are more at home with their iPads or watching television all day and not ever outside anymore. This doesn't speak for all children but the majority. 

The next film that should be discussed is how people used singing in commercials to spread awareness or to go along with a product someone is selling.

Which is not uncommon as we still use this tactic today but not as much as the 1950's. 

One thing the reactor in this video said was how they needed a commercial about people washing themselves and learning about cleanliness. 

I can see why they had a film about getting people to clean themselves more and to keep up with their hygiene. 

As it was common that people got dirty more and they had less easy ways to clean themselves compared to today. I think some did not learn from their parents either. 

There is another commercial that is worth mentioning is that this little kid was eating unhealthy all day and that is why his stomach hurts. 

Which from the medical doctor states this is not true, he had symptoms of a viral gastroenteritis. 

This means this little kid has the stomach flu and is not evidence of eating too much or too unhealthy. 

The film that should be around in 2021 is the one about periods and how to prepare children for their menstrual cycles. 

What to expect with a period and what to do to deal with period cramps, bloating, and backaches. 

In all of this, the reactor was professional and had some great advice for people today.

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage!

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage! This woman has a cute 50’s styled outfit. She has a blue hat, long V-neck striped pattern shirt, blue skirt, clipped tights, and black and white shoes. The background on this art has two clouds, symmetrical trees lined up and a lake. What I noticed next was the big fish and the log she is sitting on. From this poster she looks as if she is fishing and what is she fishing for? I would say fish, but others would disagree. This woman has bright red lipstick and curly hair as well. I imagine this art in a man cave since it gives off the vibe of sexual appeal. I do not want to categorize so I think some women would love this poster in their home as well.

Marilyn Monroe Mask 50s

This is a stunning Marilyn mask for those who love the 1950’s! The mask has a quote directly from when this famous actress was alive and has her signature red lip. They made this item out of cotton and has a black background. They included her bleach blonde hair and with winged eyeliner. My mother has this exact same mask and she wears it everywhere. It reminds me of when she got her Marilyn soap bottle that she got in her bathroom. She loves all items that consist of this actress.

What Was Valentine's Day Like in the 1950s

Many people in this era loved Valentine's Day not only because was it is a fun holiday but it is a celebration of love! Everything was decked out for this fun day with Valentine creations such as small decorations, valentine cards, hanging hearts in store windows, and more! You saw lots of couples walking the streets holding hands, families spending time together, and store owners with smiles on their faces for obtaining lots of sales.  Many children in school made Valentine's cards to give out to their classmates and created big posters of a baby cupids to take home.  Celebrity pinup girls were posed for this special holiday with hearts in the background or wearing having hearts on their clothes.  Marylin Monroe in particular did a Valentine's Day photo shoot with two big hearts as her backdrop. She was wearing high-waisted shorts, a small crop top with strings, boots, and a cute hat.  There was many Broadway movies that came out during this holiday and one that was...
