    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    Ugly can be good! Look at the Tutti Fruitti shoes above! I LOVE them and they are ugly as sin.

    I think Lilyan Tashman looks a bit like Lady Gaga. You have to see Lilyan in motion to fully see it. I think it's the "squirrelly" cheeks.

    The "Tutti Fruitti" shoes -- they are pretty awesome, right? They remind me of that gum.

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    I think this might be why I hate shoes. I really do. I would wear socks all the time if I could. I especially hate heels and rarely wear them. There's nothing I hate more than uncomfortable feet and a wobbly walk. But back to the ugliness: In the early 60s Sears catalogs there was...

    Unfortunate food, fortunately forgotten

    Same here! Bell peppers and PICKLES *VOMIT* If just the tiniest bit a pepper or pickle is in my food I won't eat it. They are too pungent and ruin the taste of anything they touch.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just watched His Picture In The Papers (1916). Meh. There were lots of film splices in it which could make the story hard to follow if you're not used to movies this old. There was also a LOT of action just for the sake of action -- those early movies sure did MOVE :D Douglas Fairbanks...

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    I've noticed the worst fashions come from late 50s/early 60s. In the Sears catalogs I am saving more pages from this time period because I think they are ugly/humourous than pretty lol Note I didn't say ALL late 50s/early 60s fashion was ugly -- just when it *was* ugly, IT WAS UGLY! lol

    YESSS! The collar and sleeves ruin and otherwise good dress. It also reminds me a bit of:

    Unfortunate food, fortunately forgotten

    True! Hence why I'm going through with the "Barbecue Salad" and I'm going to be the guinea pig. I already described it to my party guests and they all crinkled their noses lol. We all might be surpised! Also, it's cheap and easy so if it's gross I didn't really lose much ;) PS -- I'm...

    Nellie Olson wants her dress back: I don't know if this dress is ugly or if it's alright. lol I do hate the neckline, though. Collars for me, plaese!

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    lol C is ok -- I'd look terrible in it, though. I kinda like the tacky pleated collar thingie! And I never thought I'd say this, but there are far too many buttons on dress D.

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    Dress "A" -- It's alright from the belt down, but the bodice is just so.....ugly. So are the sleeves. Now, I'm one to love tacky/ugly/gaudy, but I am picturing this dress on me and it's not a pretty sight lol My large bust/shoulders look ghastly in necklines that high. And those gathers...

    I'm actually going to make this for a "1950s Dinner Party" that a friend of mine is having in a couple weeks:

    Telephone Operator (1937) Cute movie, because I love 1930s telephone operators and this had switchboards galore! Had to laugh -- the star (Judith Allen) get fired from her job because she "spent the night" with a man lol Actually, she was taking the rap for the her boss's wife, who really...

    lol I hate squirrels!!! lol They get into everything and my dog chases them, with me trailing behind...lol Strappy shoes: I had shoes very similar to the "Grecian Beauties" in the late 80s/early 90s. I look at me in old pictures and 1.) they are not flattering and 2.) they are just...

    Well I think they are ugly, especially the squirrel one. Maybe because I hate squirrels....
