How do you know what is appropriate for your age? Do you look to TV or magazines, or those internet ticklers that promise to tell you what to wear at age 30, 40, 50? No one ever tells 70 and 80 year olds what to wear in those articles. I guess they think we quit caring/living after 50.

I'm with most of you; LOVE the oldies. I love the old musicals where the guys wore suits and the ladies wore gorgeous chiffon flowing dresses. I do NOT like dancing with the stars. The women wear outfits that look like they should be trolling the 'streets' - if you get my drift. Just trashy looking; boy am I/we showing our ages or what!

I can say the exact same thing about my DH and I. We're watching more M.A.S.H. Than Andy Griffith lately, but these shows are just timeless. An especially good alternative to all the reality TV or political stuff.

I have been watching Roy Rogers, Perry Mason, and the love of my life when I was five -- The Lone Ranger. I had no idea, until recently that he was played by two different men, but my favorite was Clayton Moore.

We watched the movie "Hoosiers" the other night, which took place in the late 50's, I think. I was really impressed with the cheerleaders' uniforms. They all wore big sweaters, skirts down to their calves, and saddle shoes. The were covered and still could cheer! Thanks to the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, all the colleges and schools now barely dress their cheerleaders at all. It's a total skin show, nothing to do with the team or school spirit.

Mayberry time? I used to love watching that show and wished I'd had an Aunt Bee who would love me. Now a days her voice would drive me crazy. don't know why. my ears I guess. they did dress the ladies on that show well.
Oh there was only One Roy Rogers, like One Tarzan. always the first!!

I like to go on Tweed Rides with bicycles. Folks dress for style not speed. Elegence over exertion and picnic lunches from wicker baskets afterwards. They are held internationally. Many in the U.K. My jacket wasn't ready so I grabbed one that was too short. GF made all her garb. old pic. She is minus 100 lbs now and modified all garb.
