I agree...the fashion of that era was very flattering to the hourglass figure. And i loved the simplicity of tee & denims on the men. Ohhh...and the cars!!...such beautifully classic lines as opposed to now. A great era :-) You forgot to mention all of the racial discrimination that occurred during that era. If you want to go back to a previous era in time, then you have to go back to all of it, not just to the parts that you like. you choose your era and butt out of mine 
I really think you need to focus on what interests you rather than lecturing or criticizing others ^^^^ I have to agree. Every era has something of a detractor. The 50's and early 60's were an era of innocents. of course there is no perfect era or decade....we need to just pick somethings that we like!!!! But I was teasing David because he was being a Weenie (with a capital W) 
So tell us the era of ur choice!!!!

I like quality, simplicity and things that are built to last. I'm disgusted with this "built in" obsolescence crap. My 4 month old Blackberry just quit on me... (apparently, I push to hard on the screen ) At this rate of 1500$ a year in phones... Smartphones ain't so smart I think it was back in the 60's or 70's, or may be even earlier when companies figured out that it was more profitable to manufacture stuff that didn't last, so the consumer would have to buy new stuff. Actually it was back in the twenties when planned obsolescence was first employed…on light bulbs. http://www.ecowalkthetalk.com/blog/2011/08/26/the-light-bulb-conspiracy-the-story-of-planned-obsolescence/ Myself, I LOVE the stuff that was produced before planned obsolescence hit the industry. I have a vintage 1931 radio about the size of a small fridge that still has a mellow sound thanks to quality tubes and a tight transformer. There is nothing I love more than turning out the lights and listening to a vintage radio play. (CBC Radio still puts them on occasionally) The experience is one of being teleported back in time to 1931. My favourite era is the 1890s and i have some Edison cylinder records, but as yet no Edison Gramophone to play them on. One of these days I'll get one and teleport myself back to the 1890s that I adore so much. Considering what the world is like today, I may stay there and live the rest of my life in the past.

I like the era just fine. As David was saying, racial discrimination was so bad. Don't forget how women were treated. Barefoot and pregnant and in the kitchen. Not to mention, if you were a woman, they did not ask you what you wanted, they asked your husband.
I would like to go back to the nice ways of say the 50s if all the bad stuff could be skipped. But right now is a pretty awesome era to be alive. |

Chasing errant ping pong balls from unda dis dat for pops partay in the fifties was, sixties being verbally corrected was a fun side of life as swatted. seventies was arse deep snow 'n face blown out of speed in the wind, ponder from high vantage. Eighties waxed 'n waned same as all above but could hurtle a very short person...on 'n on my eyes bleed of never grown.
Tis today Pooh, your favorite day! |

Excuse my drivel of off the top me head K. Neurons opened 'n closed doors of memory in a nano second..some spilt out.
I'd say for me the time just before electricity made it to grounded earth. But a place near ocean shore as well as era pleases me in same thought. ~holding to flame 'n starry twilight I do. A patch of cloth in oil setting in shell of crustacean for light calls to me. oil? I'll paddle the canoe 'n hold back slackened unused, you chuck the spear. I've trust in that...oops, I spilt again. ~tips me hat. :) |
