My aunt says being a bridesmaid in 1978 meant buying a dress and helping set out food, with no seperate trips or months of events. I dont know whether that was typical or just her circle. All her friends lived nearby.
I was born in late 90s, but from what I've heard or seen online, smoking cigarettes was so popular and common back in the 70s or 80s, people smoked on the airplane, cinema, restaurant, even in hospital. Was it a cool thing to do?
When I was in grade school (60s), the janitor had this absorbent green powder they threw on vomit.
It seems some kid was vomiting every other week.
Anyone else have a similar experience? I don’t think my kids school (2000s) had this.
What was that stuff?
I am fascinated with some Golden Age movies like “Designing Woman”, depicting that. How accurate were these places as shown in movies ? Did everybody have access to them? How expensive were the clothes? Which clothes stores had a special room like that?
At 14 that at 76 I would be sweating to the oldies of my youth I would not have believed pilates to the Beatles. What about you?
