I just love old movies. The times seem so much simpler and everyone less complicated.
I love the humor -- it's not mean, it's not dirty, it's geniunely funny based on shared experiences.
The clothing people wore back in the 50's and 60's were so stunning. It's funny that women always looked so put together. I know some of the smoothness was from girdles but man, no matter how heavy a woman was she always looked 'together' and always attractive. I think it was in the 70's we abandoned girdles and thank goodness. They were horrible to wear. But I have to say although Spanx definitely help smooth out the lumps and bumps, they are much more comfortable to wear.
Anywho -- sometimes I wish we lived the same way -- old towns with tree lined avenues, white picket fences, neighbors who knew each other, less complicated lives...
I know it's a white washed picture of life but it doesn't mean I can't dream about it, right?
