I would love to go back to the fifties

I am drawn to almost everything from that time period. Music and films, home styles and furniture and fashion that still looks amazing and iconic 70 years later. Peplum tops with pencil skirts and dresses with crinoline skirts, make any girl feel pretty and feminine. Retro hair styles and cat eye sunglasses. Even the underwear was sexy for pin-up burlesque look. I'd happily live in the fifties and thrive I think. It's a time when men were men and women were women.

@DIMaverick4 Women were submissive to men and there was no shame in that. I know it wouldn't suit most but they can stay in modern day. 😊

@Patientlywaiting submissiveness then was very different that today.

@samueltyler2 in what way different?

@Patientlywaiting the wife stayed home, wore dresses, were homemakers, couples slept in separate beds, today submissive takes on a more sexual connotation.
