Time Warp Wives...
Found this little gem while lurking on other Nest boards today...

Re: Time Warp Wives...
"I make sure our home is immaculate, there is dinner on the table, and I look pretty to welcome my husband home."
Me too!
This made me laugh: "Diane spends hours on the internet sourcing items for her 1930s lifestyle."
LOL right? ?I do have to say - I completely agree with the 50s morals and marriage roles.... but I don't think I could do the dressing and living retro style!
and I didnt even catch the INTERNET 30s reference... hilarious...?
The "30's woman" is 38 years old!?? She looks like she's FROM the 30's. I'm one year younger than she is, and she looks like she's 20 years older than me. wow.
And the 50's woman: "Neither of us drinks and our social life revolves around visiting like-minded friends for tea and cakes." Um, if you were really trying to embrace the 50's, you'd be sneaking gin.
that's really all I can use to describe my feelings after reading that article.
Love the fact the chick from the 50's does not drink, yet has a photo of her in her bar no less
We aren't friendly with anyone who doesn't share our love of the Forties. Some people might think I am hiding my head in the sand, harking back to an age that is long gone.
But to me, the 1940s was a time when people were much more friendly to each other - they really cared about their neighbours.
I wonder if they really cared about their neighbors EVEN if their neighbors didn't share the same love of things that they did?!? Hmmm....
I was wondering the same thing. Sounded a bit contradictory.
I do like the look of 50s era homes and fashion, although not necessarily the mentality.
