Fifties Dive

This is a cool whiskey animated pillow for those who love the 1950s! The small comfy square has an alcohol bottle and has a nice brand name on it. It is covered in colors of black, beige, and orange. This pillow is small and has been a limited edition since 1943. The shading of this glass looks realistic and would go well with a farm or modern design living room. My friend has a couch pillow that is similar to this, but she has a wine one. Seeing this reminds me of her house parties she has all the time and how invites her book club friends as well. She is a popular person.

 What Is So Special About This Film? What is so special about it is the aesthetic this woman put into this video. She has such a cheery and fun voice that lights up the room. This woman has the dressing style down for this 1950's style video about beauty routines and how she does not talk bad about it either.  Some people in their videos they have some terrible things to say about the 50's while they are making a video about this time period. She thinks of doing this routine during the week to give yourself some self-care and be gentle with your skin and body.  The 50's themed music in this film makes it even more calming and has a relaxing vibe to it. She reminds me of my grandma who was born in the 1950's era and brings back some good memories. I definitely would recommend watching this video as she has some great tips and tricks to put in your modern or 50's beauty routine that you have. It works for both! What Happens In This 50's Video?    A woman commentat...

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.

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.

This is a beautiful cup for Fifters! The vintage cup has pink glitter in the background and has a silver top. This drink holder is small and has a silver shiny side at the very top. This drink holder has a white almost cursive print and fits nicely in anyone’s hands. There is two hearts on the front and a crown as well. My friend has this exact same vintage cup and she loves it. She uses it everyday for her hot coffee and brings it along with her to work.

What Were Women's Jeans Were Like? Women's jeans in this era were fitted at the top but were loose at the bottom. I have noticed that a lot of the women in this decade rolled up the end of the jeans so it sits above the ankles. I do have to say that the jeans women wore in the 50's look so comfortable and somewhat fashionable but not all of them as some are questionable.  Some look a bit funny with the jeans just covering the knees and you can see their caves and ankles.  Others have good stylish prints that disguise the jeans and some look like men kaki's but could be used for job interview's. From the photo's I have found I love the jeans with a matching dark belt, and some chains hanging off from the side of the belt. It looks like pants from those K-pop Idols clothing.  Jeans Within Old Photos These jeans or pants for woman are not mentioned much upon searching within the 1950's category and I can see why as these do not resemble the image of society bac...

This is an eye-catching flower pattern for those who love the 1950’s! The dress has lots of black flowers along with some lilac roses. There is a white and black bow around the waist that makes whoever wears this outfit look thinner in the stomach area. The top of this outfit is curved into a U and has thin straps. The dress flows outward and looks like you can spin nicely in it. My friend has a dress just like this one and she wear it to festivals all the time. It is her go to outfit when festival season comes around in her town.

 In this video, this woman starts explaining firm rollers are more for if you want lots of waves and the curls are tight.  The pin curls are more for those who want lose curls and smoother on top and lots of rolls at the bottom. To have the hairstyles just like women in the 50's, you will need lots of bobby pins or a pin curling hair clip and the more you have of these the better.  You will also need a comb, a spray bottle of water, and a hairbrush.  It is recommended you wash your hair and let it dry somewhat so it will hold longer in your hair until the next time you choose to wash it.  Next, you take a small strand of hair and you turn it inwards so it makes a circle. You continue this until the circle bunch of hair is to your scalp and pin it in this position.  Once you are doing the curls throughout your head make sure the curls are facing the front, which is towards your head and not away from your head.  One thing that is crucial is that you do ...

This is a festive green clover gift for those who love the 1950s! The skirt of this dress has a bunch of big and small clover leaves and has a white background on it. This plant has four dark green leaves and four lighter ones too. This outfit has three buttons at the top of this dress and has two black strings that come out from the top. The waist has a dark big strip that accentuates the figure and the skirt flows out nicely. My friend has a similar dress, but she has this in the color red. She loves to wear her dresses to 50’s style diners.

Women in the 1950's usually woke up with robes or a see through dress in the mornings, I think the type of clothing depended on how old the ladies were.  Once they were up and around they took off their robe or dress and were left in their bra's and high-waisted panties.  These women would begin to put on a bit of a longer skirt with hooks hanging to fasten some tights that would come with a zipper.  This item of clothing was supposed to accentuate the hips and make them look wider. After this the ladies would put on their stockings, which they made sure to wear everyday and attach them to the hooks.  The next step would be to put a thinner skirt over the first skirt mentioned and this one extended along to the knee.  After this would come the dress that you have chosen to wear and this would cover up the two skirts and some of the tights.  What surprised me is that these dresses did not look like a thick material at all but of a thin material.  Since ...

This is a colorful and fun hoodie for those who love the golden age! The outfit has red, orange, peach, green, and blue colors. It is a big sized hoodie and has a huge front pocket. The front of this outfit has two strings that can tighten the hood and has a white print that says, “1950.” This hoodie looks comfy and cozy! My best friend has this outfit and she wear this when she does her college course online because she gets cold easily. She always tells me stories on how her boyfriend teases her for getting cold so quick.

This video starts off with a woman doing a montage of picking out her clothes, making dinner, and trying to bring in the audience's attention. She starts off with getting her husband's newspapers, books, and other things he likes to enjoy when he gets home from work. Many women nowadays would not go this extreme for their husbands but there are still some of them out there.  It seems sweet that the women back in the 1950's wanted to do these sweet gestures for their partners. What does surprise me is the amount of cleaning the ladies did while their husbands were at work and did not seem to do much else. I would have expected that women took a break within the day and read a book or gardened. Then again, people in the 1950's wanted to have their perfect lives shown to others and be represented to their husbands as well.  This is not to sound mean or rude but this is what their words and actions showed the public. The lady in this film then moved onto setting the table a...

This is a cool and fun straw holder gift for fifters! The lid to this holder is of a silver color and made of metal. It has a glass covering over it and shines brightly in the light. At the bottom this straw holder has this candle like shaper of tin and has red and white straws inside. This decoration represents coca cola and can fit nicely in your dining rooms. My friend has this exact straw holder and she displays it on her window in her kitchen so everyone can spot it quickly. She talks about how she got this gift from her boyfriend’s mother. This is the smallest picture that would fit.

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...

This is an awesome rock and roll gift for those who love the 1950’s! The T-shirt comes in many sizes that can fit children and adults of any genders. This clothing item comes in a black color and has red mixed within it as well. It says, “Rock’ n’ Roll 1958 Classic.” This shirt has a big 50’s microphone and a CD player on the outside of it. My grandpa has one of these shirts hanging in his closet and he loves to wear it all the time. He always says, “Rock N Roll music was my favorite growing up and it still is.”

This is a gorgeous dress for those who love the 50’s! The outfit has two straps that can be tied at the back and a bow at the waist. This dress has a long outward skirt and lots of black polka dots. This item of clothing has a white base and has wrinkles at the bottom of the skirt. At the top it has a black almost heart shape to fit the mold of a woman’s chest. My friend has this exact dress and she wears this so much on her dates with her boyfriend. He also wears 1950’s clothes everywhere too. It is so cute!

This is a cool and rugged hat for those who love the 1950’s! The vintage hat has a denim print and lengthens from your head. It has the sentences, “vintage 1950.” This hat is small and fits just right on anyone’s head. It does not have too many wrinkles and looks stylish. My grandpa has many hats in his closet collection, and he loves to admire them every time he walks into his room. He once told me that he bought a hat from Japan and it was $6.50.

These rules paint the picture that during the 1950's children have no rights and should not be taken seriously at all.  The first etiquette rule is that children should been seen but never heard. Kids in the 50's knew to wait until they were spoken to respond.  Otherwise they were expected to sit and listen but to never interrupt at all.  Next, is that children should never wear sweatpants to the dinner table.  I think this is an unfair rule as what if kids want to get ready for bedtime to occupy their time and then eat their dinners.  How children have to shake adults hands not matter who they are when they walk into the room.  Some kids could feel uncomfortable shaking a hand of a person they heard conversations about or how they seem to be creepy for their liking.  Lastly, the notion that children should write thank you notes for the gifts they receive. This I think is just unnecessary as a child could just say thank you right then and there and be ...

 As you know from my last post that being a bad boy/greaser is not that hard to do but obtaining those items though is difficult.  One item that you will need for sure is a leather jacket .  This will piece the whole outfit together and is essential in becoming a greaser from the 50's. Next, is obtaining some plain blue or black jeans.  These do not have to be perfect at all and can be baggy or skinny jeans as your 1950's pair of pants.  I also forgot to mention for shirts is it is key to getting a white top. This is an item of clothing that everyone has in their house but there are options to choosing a pattern one just like this one guy in this photo.  The pattern may not be the exact one but it is good to put in your own style as well.  Finally on to the shoes. Greaser men shoes have two options they have the shiny black stylish shoes or the converse running shoes.  Both are fun and look like you are apart of the greaser 1950's club.  Men...
