I really respect women from the 50’s. They always seemed so well put together. They had great hair and were manicured and pedicured twenty-four hours a day. They also wore a lot of very defined make up that would be hard for anyone to keep up with all day. In addition to their top-quality grooming, these women were still stuffing themselves into girdles, corsets, and Lycra to smooth out any bulges that may try to poke out from under perfectly pleated and ironed skirts. Do you know how much effort these women put into themselves each and every day? Looking like a typical 50’s housewife must have been a full time job in itself! All of those soft, pinned curls piled inches high on their heads have to have been projects that were started the night before. Just imagine sleeping on curlers every night and fighting with a corset to breath every day. It had to be absolutely exhausting. Granted, Not many women worked in the 50’s, but who had time to when you were expected to look refined from head to toe night and day? I’m sorry but practicing that much maintenance on top of cooking, cleaning, and putting on a good front for the neighbors takes a lot of energy. It’s no wonder half of these women were using cocain products to get through the day. If these women could bring their work ethic and energy into jobs today, we would be able to accomplish much more and look great doing it.
