I don’t know if this is the right forum to discuss this but I know I was born at the wrong time. I’m 61 and I’m supposed to be this age in the 1970s. I don’t find today’s women attractive ( my wife excepted) with all the tattoos and piercings. I find the women of the 30s and 40s were so much more feminine in appearance. I wanted to be an airline pilot as a kid but not flying jets. I wanted to fly Connie’s and DC-7s and F27s not Boeing 777s or Airbus whatever. I would have liked to own a Studebaker pickup not a F150. I like Art Deco not this modern crap. Imagine being able to smoke and be told 9 out of 10 doctors recommend Camels! The government should develope a time machine at taxpayers expense for people like me. If they don’t, we are going to organize and come up with some alphabetical named political group of victims. TGVs-Trans Generational Victims (not to be confused with the the high speed European trains especially since they weren’t invented back then).
I was discussing with my niece this afternoon some of those very same things, especially the part about tats on women and how in the 30s-40s no one left the house without getting properly dressed. She loves the fashion of those days - pencil skirt below the knees with the split hem in the back, gloves, small hat, stockings with the back seam... the whole bit. All of that was before my time (1956), but ‘way’ before hers (1990). Hopefully, ‘what goes around, comes around’, and women will start dressing again. Personally, I’d love to get dressed up like that - nothing too fancy, just presentably correct, and finished.
