In 1958 there was no good birth control. Other than that, I agree, a person needs to dress the way they want. I was around in 1958. It was a time that kind of sucked in some ways. Men were in charge. This lady idealizes it. There were no good old days. Still, if she likes it...

Oh, i'd DIE FOR the 56 Chevy Bel Air! I wanted that more than ANYTHING back then!
I think that is so cool!
Weird but Oh, so cool that she does her own thing!
I love it!

One thing you could do is fool around in the back seat.
In 1958 I was living life as a teenager not a married woman, so I saw things a little differently. It was all about the music and dating and
buying 45's at the downtown music store.
Didn't care about jewelry and anything in the house ..lol ... and I hated RED lipstick (still do)
.... and yes the cars @Gaer .. . I had a good friend who only dated guys whose cars she liked. She married a red chevy Impala.
.. they are still married today.

In 1958 I was just spending a lot of time at dances. Me and my friends would go to the dances every Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights I loved dancing and the music.

Of course she would be still married! The guy had excellent taste!In 1958 I was living life as a teenager not a married woman, so I saw things a little differently. It was all about the music and dating and

No red lipstick for me either. Back then it was TANGEE, remember?
I know, what a car that is!
I agree, what a great place this world would be if everyone felt comfortable to live the way they wanted to live, not how society, fashion, and critics view the way everyone should live and be.

She seems happy...so I'm happy for her.
Diff strokes and all that jazzzz.
BTW...my older brother had a 56 blue chevy, 2 door.
w/blk leather interior, and he wouldn't let anyone near it
except his girlfriends of course.

I'm a little young to remember tangee, but a great aunt of mine wore a colour close seconds to this but more silvery.
Sure do! .. You can still buy it .. https://www.vermontcountrystore.com/original-tangee-lipstick/product/61436

Oh that stuff/color. I have some in my bathroom. We had fun w/it years ago.
It usually turned my lips a red color, not a dark or bright red.
My fave is the last lip pic...reminds me of the 'candied violet' I used to wear.

I couldn't stand the 50s; I spent 1958 watching my parents' marriage break up and then things went downhill from there. Around about the mid-1960s, though, when I hit my mid-teens, things were starting to get a little more interesting and open-minded and colorful. But the 50s? Ugh.

Not me. The problem with too many of the "good" ol' days is that they were only good for just certain sectors of the population (usually only if your skin was the "right" color and you relieved yourself standing up).
And I'd be right there with you!

My thoughts exactly.
I agree that some people didn’t fair as well as others. We all know how unfair blacks and some other groups weren’t treated equally. But, since we are only stating how it was for us only, it truly was a great era for me and those around me.
You can still buy Tangee...from Vermont Country Store. Its still my fav lipstick.
