1950 Home Rules They Followed

Many people in the 1950's lived simply and it is what most of us would want in the modern world of 2021.

Everyone had a routine that they followed such as making our beds when you woke up, take a bath, cook breakfast, etc.

Once in a while they would change up their routine to have a variety and not to get bored but for the most part they never strayed away from their routines.

This was true, especially those with children. They always said that kids need stability and a routine or else they were cranky and rebellious.

Many people from the 1950's were all about their houses being so spotless and were to be shown off to others as well.

They always followed the mantra of cleaning up after yourself as you went and making sure you had good cleaning habits.

Lots of educational advertisements at the time wanted the public to wake up and dress in presentable clothes, it did not matter that you were a housewife.

You had to look and had to have the attitude that you are a modest and presentable person.

The type of person who had their life together and you made a difference in your own home.

Many people in the 50's were all about planning especially with what you were going to do everyday of the week.

What can be learned from this is that people from this era had good health statistics and you can see why as they made sure to keep busy all the time.

Along with planning their lives out to make time to hang out with family.

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.

It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.

Bad Boys in the 1950s

These type of men/teens were the most idolized people in the 1950's along with some celebrities. One celebrity in particular that had the bad boy style and his name was James Dean. This type of outfit melted the girls/women's hearts at the time. Males would wear a leather or denim jackets, white or patter button up top underneath, blue or light jeans, either a quiff hair or leave it natural with some gel in it. I think of the outfits that Johnny Depp would wear in his Crybaby movie with his slicked back hair, leather jacket, and a rebellious but hot vibe. Today we label these type of people as bad boys but back in the 1950's they were called the greasers and apart of the greaser subculture. Looking back at these photos you never saw older men wearing this style, it was mostly teenagers and young adults. Those who dressed this way were definitely very popular in high school. Let's also not forget they added a cigarettes to compliment the look. If any o...

What Is A Pin Up Girl and What Did She Do?

A pin up girl is a person who is sexually attractive and usually a famous person that wears little clothes. A good example to compare is people who are Instagram models. The difference is that women were less shamed about how their bodies looked back in the 1950's such as they did not nit pick about how a woman has arm fat or that she is too curvy. It was more they were judged about how they were showing their bodies so freely and wore scandalous clothes that turned their husbands heads. Which today some people still do that but it is more encouraged now to show your body freely and not judge women on how much skin they show unless it is nudity. Pin up girls mostly wore high-waisted bottoms to show off their curves and hips. They also included high-waisted skinny jeans with buttons on the sides, Capri pants high-waisted shorts, and pencil skirts. It was so scandalous if a woman were to show their stockings, wore a deep V-neck, and showed any clothing items that r...
