so, since forever I have been obsessed with the 1950s.
I'm 19, and yet my ideals have always been the total opposite of everyone else. I grew up in an area which had many chavs/neds whatever you call them and a high rate of teen pregnancy, yet ever since I can remember I've thought it's, well not vile, but not what I thought was right.
I'm not religious, I'm a very strong athiest, yet I've always believed in the old-fasioned style of things- you fall in love, get married, have children. Yet that seems to oppose the 'norm' these days, which I simply don't understand.
I don't stand in the way of feminism, yet I have never and will never call myself a feminist. I told a female this who shot me down and said that in saying such I was against everything that women had fought for since suffrage, which simply isn't true. To me the clue is in the name- feminism- not 'equalism' [an absurd but only word I could make up to illustrate my point]. There are many feminist acts I do agree with, but I think now it is starting to go against the whole point of equality. For example, the fact that I am shot down for my views- that I want to be a housewife and mother above all things and to serve my husband. That is my choice.
But back to my original point.... recently I have become far more active in my obsession- that I now dress the part, and I'm loving it :)
I found one fabulous forum (www.thefedoralounge.com) and an amazing blog with a gorgeous blogger (vavoomvintage.blogspot.com) which has led to me not just drooling through the windows of Cath Kidston or admiring beautiful pin-ups online, but actually planning the things I want to buy- starting to clear my clothes for something more vintage, and actually taking up sewing. There are also the numerous hours I've spent researching to get my hair right but we need not mention that because glamour happens naturally, right? ;)
So hopefully this blog will turn into something. Not just me mumbling on about my stupid life.
I guess I might post some pics or whatever :)
Ciao! xxxxxxx
