Seriously, I do not get people who look at Paige and Monroe and think that's "curvy" by today's standards. Do they not go into vintage stores? Or understand that vanity sizing has completely changed the standard we used to have for women's dresses?

Rockabilly culture is the absolute worst. I had a roommate that was into that poo poo a few years ago and did swing dancing as well. She wasn't a "curvy" rockabilly girl but she did love to tear down all the girls that were bigger than her in the culture which, in my opinion, was way worse. She would assume every guy in her group was only dating his girlfriend because she was "too intimidating" to men. I tried finding the Daria episode where Jane dates a rockabilly guy and instead of finding it, I found this blog post that completely missed the point that the dude was a huge douche and obsessing over fashion from before you were born and making it your personality is kind of weird:

Just like steampunk and Ren Faire, it's idealizing a place and time that never really existed, and fantasizing themselves in a position of coolness and power. They want to be Sandy and Danny from Grease with more tattoos, piercings, flames and skulls.


For most people, real life in the 1950s wasn't like that at all. The middle class dream involved a professional job, a modern house, tailored sharkskin suits and designer dresses and a two-tone hardtop Oldsmobile. Turtlenecks and big sunglasses were au courant

Adjusted for reality, that translated into a steady, secure if not glamorous job, a small but decent bungalow, grey flannel suits and polyester bowling shirts for guys and sundresses for women and a '57 Chevy in the driveway- albeit a wagon with a gutless 135hp inline 6.

Even teenagers who were first coming into their own still looked closer to their parents than the cast of Grease. Khaki pants, loafers and button-down shirts were the rule for guys, full dresses and bobby socks were what most girls wore. A big pompadour would get you stares, and sideburns or, if you were a girl, tight clothes and bullet bras would get you sent home from school. You couldn't even wear jeans to school in many places in the eastern US.


The rockabilly scene was mainly working class- rockabilly guys wore leather jackets, jeans and engineer boots because they were tough, and plain white tees and Chucks because they were dirt cheap, and tied into the hot rod scene on the West Coast. A good portion of them were high-school dropouts who went to work in car shops because, back then, you could afford a used Chevy, T-Bucket or bike and a place on that income. Society regarded them as a bunch of n'er-do-wells who did nothing but drink, fight, vandalize stuff and get into accidents with their vehicles. Tattoos were reserved for military men, and nobody would space out their ears.

It's funny to see people dress up in what was the 1950s equivalent of bikers with a dab of gangsta mixed in, and talking about how things were so much more wholesome then.

This isn't to say that stuff like that can't look good- certain pieces that fit well will look good, but they won't if it becomes a costume. James Dean and Marilyn Monroe were good looking people to begin with, so they could carry even the worst outfits.


Even funnier are psychobillies- think rockabilly with more screaming, zombie tattoos, bondage boots, skunk streaks in bangs and sleeveless flame t shirts. Lack of self awareness and abundance of cheap beer remain equal

I'm not really into psychobilly besides The Cramps and Mojo Nixon, and they're both kinda edge cases, but I'm pretty sure the over the topness is on purpose, kind of a "If you're gonna glamorize a made up ideal of the past, at least have some loving fun with it!" thing. Or maybe the fans really suck or it got shittier as the movement went on or something.

I gotta admit, he's really sold me on Denmark. It sounds like a great place. I love how he ends it: “Unfortunately, we have to accept that... we can’t fulfill basic human rights for all without viewing everyone as equal”. Truly, this man is the Marx of the PUA community.

That corset looks terribly uncomfortable. Certainly awkward, especially if she actually tried to do anything dressed like that. And anyway, real people from these vintage periods would wear their foundation garments underneath their clothes.

In the last thread, someone posted a picture of a furry in a dimly lit room, lying back on an early-'90s-looking couch, launching a stream of beaded piss out of his exposed penis. I looked at it and laughed. I could not make it past the (presumably only the first) Monty Python reference in this video.
