I found this video online through a news story on Dailymail.co.uk (Yeah not always reasonable but some weird stories come by on a dry celeb news day).
An exercise promotion video for the girls of the 1940's.
Now, I think that the women from the 40's to the 70's had the most beautiful bodies. Curves and natural grace and beauty.
I feel like we don't make as much effort as they used to in the old days. To walk around the house in fabulous form fitting dresses (All home made) with soft but striking make up and with poise and grace, its not the same nowadays.
Girls today are going out on a Saturday/Thursday night in hot pants or mini dresses, showcasing their crotch to the entire world. With make up piled on like some kind of clown, and in heels that dont fit them and are way to high for them. I love my high heels and strive to walk as well as I possibly can but it's not worth a broken ankle!
My idol has always been Dita Von Teese, one day I could pull of her look - fingers and toes crossed!
Anyhow, the video I found is brilliant, not in a great way, in a funny way, sorry ladies! As chauvenistic as most adverts and promotions were for women in this day and age were, I cant believe that women went through this kind of torture?!
I'm sticking to yoga and a good old run. I will not be kneaded like bread or minced like beef!
Enjoy ; ) I could not load the video properly, every time I tried it loaded a different video! So here is the link....
