Thanks. Great music. “Don’t make ‘em like they used to springs to mind.”
I always wonder if female beauty standards have changed — women in the 20s seem so plain. Maybe the lookers stayed on the farm because there wasn’t so much siren call of stardom at the time. Or women were more respectable and weren’t drawn to beauty pageants and dance halls.
I wouldn’t say that at all. Google or Bing for photos of Garbo, or Bessie Love, or Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, any movie star.
The style from about 1916 to about 1935 was for flat chests—so maybe the women don’t look like “bombshells” to some modern eyes. But “plain”???
