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.

Fashion esthetic? We're much better off with civil rights. Should a woman need a husband's permission to open a bank or credit account? No. Even most birth control was illegal. Like tattoos? Then they were for criminals, sailors and seedy people.

Stick with the esthetic. The cars, furniture and architecture were fine. Some of the food items were weird.
