Newly Discovered Color Images of 1950s

What You Can Experience


When looking through these photos you get a sense of realness just looking at these people on the street or walking to stores. Everything seems so busy and full of life but it was not polluted. 

The cars are so unique and bulky but brings a sense of what your grandfathers and mothers did during this era. How there was little to none of social anxiety going on within these pictures. 

Seems as if everyone had their own place in this world and had their lives picture perfect almost. 

The signs along with the lights are enticing to spend your money on and just to enjoy life. 

Looking at all these pictures in color makes my brain put together that they are real and were living like regular people during this time period. 

Compared to those black and white photographs you cannot relate to. 

The Vibes

The type of vibes these give off of is where there is a world without people relying on technology and speaking more face to face. 

Although internet is the best but it can hold people back especially regarding expectations of themselves. 

This era, gives people the courage to not even have social anxiety nor ever experience it since they are always out. 

This true to housewives at the time even though they stayed home they still went out everyday to get the groceries and talked to workers at the place or talk to people walking down the street.

Many people hung out a lot more during this time period such as having other families over for dinners or have drinking parties. 

They let her little kids have play dates together and the women mostly cooked, hung out, and chatting for a while. 

This type of world speaks to me on a whole new level and I wish technology did not interfere so much in our lives.

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...

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. At the top right corner of the red/yellow square you see a star shape. My sister loves to do crossword puzzles and she has a collection of them in her closet. It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.

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...
