The Strict Rules to Look Presentable

What is cool but shocking to me was how they made a film on how to be well groomed. 

I cannot think of any other videos that would have a guide to be well taken care of and even how to stay clean like this. 

I do not even think our generation today has a detailed video like this and teaching others to be well groomed. 

The film starts out in a black and white filter and it was produced by Coronet Instructional Films. 

It starts out with a woman in her nice high heels in the house and it looks like she does not have any tights on but seeing from this era, I think she does. 

I noticed her hair is curled and her room is well presented and clean. She seems to be dusting her dress which could mean she's getting the lint off?

Dawn checks to make sure that her legs are shaved by leaning down and skimming her hand down her to her ankle. 

Which indicates that she wants to make sure she has no hairs sticking out from her legs as it is not seen as looking presentable. 

In this video, they put pressure on people at this time to look healthy, have good posture, cleanliness, and neatness. 

Although I am not fond of how they show us viewers of how to be well-groomed since it seems we are talked down to like children but then again they want all ages to know the message regardless. 

One thing I noticed is that people in the 1950's, seemed so proper and strict with everything. 

Which can be a good thing and a bad thing as well. 

In this case, I think it is good. Many in this era are set in their routines such as you have to to clean everyday and have to iron all your clothes every time they are dry. 

What I love about these skits is that the husbands and wives are so respectful to each other and are modest as well. 

They do not have any petty or rude tones when they ask each other to do any cleanly chores. 

It is great how well they work together as well to keep things clean in there home and their selves clean too.

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...
