The Sixties Are Back!

After you squeeze yourself into some Spanx and insert some chicken filets into you bra for mega-boobage you can now poof up your 'do to previously unimagined heights.

Come on Barbie, let's go Barbie!

Yoicks! Those Spanx thingies made my stomach hurt just looking at them.. I think at the tender (and skinny) age of 16 I actually thought I needed tummy-control nylons, and struggled into these monstrous things that turned me practically two-dimensional for big occasions for several years.

(*snork* but I did get a nerdy-speller kick out of the mix-up between "discreet" and "discrete". "Nipple covers, for the days you want to be discrete"
Yah, like have two separate ones. )

Forget the 1960's.... that hair thing looks more like the 1860's.... its a bustle for your hair!

Does anyone really want to look like Amy Winehouse or Sarah Palin?

Those "Bum-pit" women all look so shallow and plastic-y! They are way too excited- are they on drugs? And all that scary makeup...

It just makes me want to sing Dusty Springfield songs...

The BumPit can double for a weapon in case your date wants to go to second base. You know - like when you're in your date's dad's 68 Ford Galaxy & you're necking in the backseat at the drive in movie.

Spanx are GREAT! They smooth out bulges for those who don't like them, which definitely includes moi.

I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself.....seems like a good one to sing!

I have spanx in my drawer, but I've stopped wearing them. I've decided they're a torture device.

I remember growing up (in the 60s), watching my mother wriggle out of her girdles, saying "OMG, I'll never wear one of those!"

Spanx are nothing more than a fleshtone update on my mother's playtex girdle. God bless good marketing

I'm waiting for those white go-go boots to come back. Or maybe they did get reincarnated but I didn't notice.

Admittedly that plastic piece to pouff up the hair is clever..and heck alot better than upbrushing hair and lacquering hair with tons of hairspray to freeze the heights.. but probably the gals are still throwing on tons of hairspray

I'm disappointed when the Spanx and other types of body-shapers came back in style. For so long we never saw the girdles again. It doesn't help women become healthy. But maybe I'm just a klutz forgetting that there are the special events for some women to provide an illusion of something...for 1 night.

In the 50's and 60's they had hair 'rats'- soft netted poofs that were in your shade of color and you held in place under your hair with bobby pins or wrapped your bun around:

They were better than these hard plastic Armpits...ooops I mean BumPits.

Women used to make their own hair rats from their own hair!:

Yes, the rats would be a green solution. I remember the hair rats...watched a good friend when we were in high school do up her hair..for a prom.

And some of the short cute dress jackets with flat large collars are back.... what a thought if jumpsuits ever came back.

I swear I saw some society chickies wearing those at a restaurant where I ate lunch on friday!

I took myself out to lunch at a nice restaurant in the French Quarter and had a blast people watching. There was two tables of chickies, some kind of party - it's the beginning of debutante season, or it could have been bridal, hard to tell - but they even did the kiss-kiss on each cheek thing as more arrived. It was fun to watch. Definitely local girls, not tourists.
