@MaxxGladiator Those days aren't completely gone as long as we don't let them die! :)
I'm 21 years old and dress this way every day. I'm living the 50's/60's lifestyle on a daily basis, in a late 50's house with a 60's car. People ask me why I do, and I say that it helps me escape from modern stress and takes me back to a time where things were simpler. I try to encourage other women to not be afraid to look classy, it is such a timeless look.

@Lov3a1ways True enough, but I contend ABC would not have considered picking up a show set in the early sixties if Mad Men had not been such a huge hit and stayed on for 5 seasons. Mad Men also does touch on the subject of women expanding their possibilities...what about Peggy? You can't escape that subject considering the time period. Anyway, you're point is well taken. I do like the show.

@Lov3a1ways Or was it 60's? haha

@finnfan17 Really? I'm fairly certain she didn't refer to the time period in question, but to the fact that the series follows Pan Am stewardesses.
Mad Men is a drama that centres around commercialism and men, whereas Pan Am is more of a charmingly cute soap about women expanding their options and horizons in the 50s...

@Dancing88Mike Political correctness happened.

Um...anyone ever heard of Mad Men? There's "something like it" on TV!

@choosing2lookeast What was the height requirement?
Loved the first show. Great looking women, in shape (bring the scale back - PLEASE), but the pilots need to be in their 40s.
They did not let 28 year-old pilots fly the 707s. Get some George Clooney old guys on there for the women viewers.
Those were the days. I wish women would dress like this nowadays.

@cannoir height weight requirements yes. Specific skin color no. The first African American F/A was hired by Mohawk airlines in 1957. TWA was the first major airline to hire a woman of color, and Pan Am as it was an international airline had stewardesses from all over the world. Black women began getting hired in larger numbers in the late 1960s and throughout the 70s.
