G'Day Tootsie, That's really cool! Comments are funny too.I enjoyed that. I have an old Womens Weekly magazine from around that time, but it is very brittle now days.
I had another go at your F.F. prompt.
Happy Friday.

OMG to get a waist that small I'd have to have a few ribs removed!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Hi Tootsie...

Hilarious! I love looking through the old magazines....sort of like a vintage comic book!

As your blog mother; I don't want you to loss to much more weight. You will look like twiggy. I do love you hair. I wish I could stress the weight off; I never had a problem until I got older. It's aweful. Have a great week-end.
Trying to get my camera fixed today.

And to think I thought I'd tried every diet. The fat girls diet....I want to punch whoever wrote that in the nose! These books and magazines are a treasure for sure.

This post is toooooo cute!! I enjoyed every single photo and every single cute word you wrote.
Hahaaa...just precious. And, I'm not ABOUT to wear one of those waist thinner thingys...talk about uncomfortable! The older I get, the more I go for pure comfort!!

I just love looking at these types of things. I think you should try making the hand knit sandals this winter in your spare time :)

2009-11-04T13:32:23.836-07:00

Okay, Tootsie, that was super cool. As for the centennial party? Lots of states were celebrating centennials in that era: California Statehood granted in 1850; Nevada 1864; Oregon 1859; Washington in 1889 was only the 42nd state in the union, so the latter half of the 20th century saw a lot of centennial celebrations.

Holy cow, this was so cool, Glenda! Can you imagine having to squeeze yourself into one of those horrible slimmers? These days us chicks just let it all hang out!

2009-11-04T12:10:37.897-07:00

Yes, Tootsie I was a 0 for years.
I use to cry because I couldn't find a 0 that would not fall of me. But I quit smoking in 1991 and over the years I gained 30 lbs. So I am trying to get it off but it moves somewhere else. So you haven't told me your secret yet? How do I get 30 lbs off. I tried portion control and still do it when I feel guilty. My cholestrol is under control now but the thyroid is a littl out of wack. My sister says is called putting your Fork dowm. LOL

2009-11-04T12:09:18.707-07:00

My grandmother had a book very similar to this when I was little, so it's ben a trip down memory lane for me today Tootsie - and I'm still smiling about it! :)

2009-11-04T12:05:58.370-07:00

How sweet tootsie. Now tell these girls the truth; your waise is very tiny......... YOu look so beautiful these days with your hair longer and so thin. Now don't go getting so thin that we have to ask you to take your picture standing sideways. YOu are so adorable toots. This magazine is so unreal. I loved looking thru the photos. Thank you girl for sharing this with us. Still having trouble with my camera. I hope to post soon. I have a couple of post to do but no camera.

2009-11-04T10:28:53.896-07:00

That is a treasure! I enjoyed every photo and caption! If you ever find out how to do those crochet sandals, that might be a fun project...of course, I'd have to learn to crochet first!

Thanks for the memories!

2009-11-04T09:01:09.165-07:00

Oh my goodness. Some of this I have seen before in other old magazines, but how fun to look through and see how different the times were. Great fun. Wish my waist was that small, but I don't think I'm up to the torture of a girdle. lol Hugs, Marty

2009-11-04T08:40:32.171-07:00

Oh I could go on and on.... Those ladies with the hats look like tulips or something. Did you happen to notice their dogs?

These old magazines are such a hoot! I could (and have) spend hours looking at them. Some of the stuff is like "Say what?" and other stuff is so cute. But the piece de resistance was....drum roll please....flaming turds! I'm still cracking up. Good post Tootsie.
