Fads, Fashion, and Music of the 1950’s

Today Im deprivation to be doing my speech on the furors, fashion, and music of the asss. First Im going to tell youll or so womens fashion in the asss. Women in the asss wore dresses with pinched in waists to show off their hourglass figures. They wore full skirts, excessively known as poodle skirts because of the beamy motif of a poodle sewn onto the skirt. They wore these skirts with stiff petticoats underneath which gave them volume. They also wore pencil skirts and sweaters.They often pared poodle skirts with a tight, tucked in collared blouse and a wide waist clinching belt, and to finish the look they wore high heels. They also wore Capris, or as they c tout ensembleed them pedal pushers and Shares, which became devourular after Marilyn Monroe was photographed wearing them. Now Im going to tell youll about mens attire. Men in the asss wore black, navy, or gray business suits for work. They also wore overcoats with their suits, and they complete their look with a fedora hat. When men werent working they wore cardigans sweaters with khakis.As rock and roll got popular, then name leather Jackets which they wore with black or white t-shirts and Shares. Next Im going to talk about the fads. cardinal of the popular fads in the asss were sock record hop. Socks hops are typically informal high school dances in which they removed their shoes and danced in their socks to comfort the gym floors. Another popular fad was going to drive-in movie theaters. Drive-in movie theaters were invented in the asss but didnt become popular until the asss because thats when everyone began having cars.Parents loved drive-ins because they could take their kids and teens loved them cause it was somewhere they could their dates. Another fad was hula hoops. The hula-hoop was invented by Richard Inner and Arthur Spud Melvin, two industrious individuals who founded a company called the Wham-O Company. They came up with the theme in California in 1957 when an Australian visit ing the U. S. Told them that back home children participated in an interesting gym class activity- they twirled hoops make of bamboo around their waists and had a great time doing it.A light bulb went on in these two clever peoples minds and the American version of the oops, made of a lightweight but durable plastic, was born. They coined the term hula-hoop because they believed the action of the toys mimicked a form of a Hawaiian dance. Another fad was the fez dispenser. It all started in 1927 in Austria when Edward Has came up with this new peppermint candy. An adult breath mint that he immovable to market as an alternative for smoking. The word FEZ comes from the German word for peppermint. FEZ used to be carried around in pocket tins.Then in 1948 they came out with the easy, hygienic dispenser that we all know now to be a regular. In 1952 FEZ wanted to expand their sales so they set their sights on the U. S. A. , to coerce their product to a greater extent appealing to Americ ans. They placed heads on the dispensers and marketed it for children. The last fad Im going to tell skirt about is silly putty. In 1943 James Wright, an engineer, was attempting to create a synthetic rubber. He was unable to procure the properties he was looking for and put his creation (after to be called silly putty) on the shelf as a failure.A few years later, a salesman for the DOD Corning Corporation was using the putty to entertain some customers. One of his customers became intrigued with the putty and saw that it had potential as a new toy. So in 1957, after cosmos endorsed on the Howdy y Show, silly putty became a toy fad.

He died of lung cancer in 1965. And then we have sidekick Holey, the youngest of four children, was born in Lubbock, Texas, where brother was a popular nickname for a male baby of the family. By age 13, he and his takeoff rocket Bob Montgomery were playing a kind of music they called Western Bop, which they performed at local clubs.
