I was born in 1951, so I remember ViewMaster slides, Ginny and Jill dolls, all the classic Saturday morning cartoons and Westerns on TV, heavy party-line telephones (which were owned by the phone company, not the individual), B&W TV with rabbit ears and tinfoil, getting milk and soda in glass bottles only, no fast food restaurants until my first McDonalds experience as a teenager, traveling all over the place by bus and not worrying about crime, single-speed "coaster" bikes with baseball cards clipped onto the wheel spokes with clothespins, going to the theater to see Disney films (only once per release), and my first portable transistor radio.
I liked to play with my hoola hoops, gyroscope, baton (yes, I twirled), and anything made by Whammo! My favorite board games were Monopoly, Scrabble, and Life. I played Scrabble once a week with my grandmother at her house (fond memory). My dad's cars had tons of chrome and big fins, ran on leaded gas, and would be considered death traps now (no airbags, headrests, or seatbelts, and the dashboards were covered with sharp instruments). We rode unrestrained in cars but no food or drinks were allowed in the car while moving. Every place we went, people were smoking. Ashtrays were common "furnishings" in every home, restaurant, and business. Public schools had strict dress and grooming codes that we followed without complaint until my teenage years in the late 60's. The only time I attended a school that allowed the girls to wear "pants" was in second grade in the Mojave Desert where elementary kids could wear shorts. Even then, I usually wore a dress to school, sometimes with matching shorts underneath. In my senior high school years, I ironed my hair with a clothes iron, and rolled my hair on large empty juice cans. I wore bangs down to my eyeballs, white lipstick and nail polish, and black eyeliner. I never owned an electronic device while growing up. I had a few things that ran on electricity or batteries, such as my radio, "portable" record player, bonnet hair dryer, and homemade "computer". I guess my generation was "quaint." |

First, this technique is for hair that is at least shoulder length. Ironing was done to make wavy hair very straight ("hippie" style).
I would bend over near the ironing board and lay my hair out flat on the board, like a sheet. Then I would iron it, carefully (Use a steam iron.) (You could also lay a damp cloth or towel over the hair while ironing.) It worked better if you had a friend or sister to help. It didn't always work well, and it made the house stink if the hair got singed. |

Oh, yes, white and shiny. The style emphasis was on the eyes, not the lips. Pale lips were "in." The best look was a California tan with pale lips. We tried to get our faces and bodies brown, and our lips and nails as pale as possible. Eyes had to be heavy and dark.

LOL but I know they will burn my hair then I could have looked like if i did put my finger into the outlet. I ve been dying color my hair for about 15 years. My hair might be too dry for the clothing iron to burn it.

If you get a chance, watch some of the TV shows, documentaries, and movies from that era, and notice the styles. If you can watch the documentaries on MLK and the civil rights movement, you can see that transition. The men who started out with MLK wore short hair, fedora hats, suits and ties; the women wore suits and dresses, hats, and gloves. After MLK was assassinated, movements became more radical, such as the Black Panthers. Notice the change of appearance. |

I was born in '66 but it's the 70's that I really remember.
We had the saturday morning cartoons then as well! Black + white tv. Video recorders, but it was the late 80's before we could afford one! Nobody sued you for something silly! Girls wearing legwarmers. Corporal punishment in school!

I was born in Late 80's (1987).... but I remember so much of the 90's and 00's.
Growing up in the 90's were awesome... I remember so much of it... the style of clothes, the tv shows, the video games, riding bikes, playing outside with friends and so on. I also remember thick cellphones that Dad and Mom had, big computer that would take forever to turn on and play games, VHS movies and so on. Being Teenager in first six years of 00's were pretty neat as well, as the style of clothes has really improved, more techologly has improved as well with those tiny cellphones, DVDs, Slim Computers, Slim TV and so on.

old yearbook
Early 70's highschool in Alaska, us boys were all sporting Dad's haircut grown out for a year or two. Parted still way over on the side. We sure had a lot of hair then. I enjoy an old family photo from later in the 70's of all the big young men in the family standing around this tiny smiling aunt of mine, we all had bushy beards and a whole lot of long hair.

Haha, this might sound embaressing. I was born in 2001. I never used the internet at home until 2009. I don't remember 9/11/2001 because I was only 19 days old at the time. I do remember that all the boys in Kindergarten were playing with PS2's. I can't believe I am so young XD.
00's: Facebook was invented Good shows were on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. I started school in 2006. IPods were new. |
