Alot of women made their own clothes back then. Was probably very easy for her.

Or Rupaul’s Drag Race. She’d definitely win the challenge if it was to design an outfit that had reveals to it.

On TV maybe but in real life, not so much.

@@JohnSmith-zw8vp at least we never saw anyone wih duck-lips....people were either beautiful or ordinary. Nowadays ordinary people (and many beautiful ones too sadly) make themself look "beautiful" and we know the results...one poor example is Marie O. born so beautiful but look what she did to her face, starting from her teeth.. she can' even laugh naturally anymore, she can only streach her mouth but her face is not laughing. Sad,sad,sad. This happens when you try too much.

Correct.

To be fair, there hadn't really been any studies done on the short and long term effects of smoking at that time, and people had been smoking for nearly 500 years so it wasn't something people really thought about or considered. It was only after the research and studies were done that smoking was seen as a bad thing and that didn't really happen until the 80's and 90's when I was a kid.

In early I Love Lucy shows both Lucy and Desi smoked. And in the very earliest Father Knows Best, "Jim Anderson" smoked. But people generally DID know that it wasn't actually good for you. "Smoker's Cough" was a regular morning malady for many. And many women quit smoking while pregnant knowing that it wasn't good for the fetus.

That depends on the kind of fabrics she used. Polyester was introduced around that time, that would be much lighter than cotton. Viscose had been around for some 80 years, and some viscose fabrics are very lightweight too.

"Anything under that dress, aside from the obvious?"...

@@zerotwoisreal oh I missed that

@@jillv4006 I didn't miss it, but I took it to mean her legs. After all, she had to remain standing which was highly irregular.

The way she talked melts my heart.

haha RuPaul

oh stop it

I hope so lol. 500 & 1,000-watt lights probably

I looked her up. As of 2010, she was listed as a contributing alumnus of Limestone College. Her married name is Godwin. Her parents were Cleo Clyde Williamson (1912-1972) and Villon Todd Williamson Burroughs (1917-2007). Her sister was/is Robin Williamson Scola Edwards.

@@footofjuniper8212 You did good with the research!

😂👍

Denise Richardson snaps

Yes! They had Velcro on 1960!

Velcro was patented in Switzerland in 1955, but I don’t remember seeing it in America before the 1970s. I don’t think she used Velcro on this collection, because of the date and because I didn’t hear that “rrrip” sound of Velcro being unfastened. I didn’t see zippers being opened, either. The attachments must have been done with hooks or snaps, or both.

Velcro is dangerous to fine fabrics.

More like a curmudgeon, Ron. It was his schtick, I believe.

Cigarette advertising funded a lot of early television, and smoking killed many early TV presenters. Garry Moore, seen here, had throat cancer, and later died of emphysema. Bill Cullen and Henry Morgan, two of this show’s four panelists, both died of lung cancer. So did Edward R. Murrow, the king of 1950s television.

It was to make the cig companies rich and for depopulation so people would die early. That's why they started MANY advertising campaigns for women to smoke, as well. Virginia Slims, etc. Early death means less people in the world to use the resources, plus more money for the cig companies. Truth.

Besides the above I just mentioned, it also makes the doctors and medical companies rich to have ill patients from the results of smoking.

@@holylandfan3275 I’m not sure it makes doctors and hospitals richer to have people smoking. True, the smokers are sicker, but they also don’t live as long, so they won’t pay bills for as many years. Killing your customers is generally not a good business strategy.

I think the duster she was carrying over her arm was cheating a bit too. But it was original and clever.

because he is funny

Why not?

@@lisal8984 Yes, like a wet blanket.

@@el7jake He never pays attention to what’s going on, he’s not funny and sometimes, he’s unpleasant.

Get over it. It wasn't until 3 years later the surgeon general's report came out.

Part of the sponsorship. Every guest received a carton of Winston cigarettes.

@@gemoftheocean many people already knew/suspected that smoking was dangerous.

@@gemoftheocean There’s a fantastic clip of three 5 year olds (their secret was that they were one man’s son, grandson and great grandson) and one points at the host and the cigarette he’s smoking and said “you’re gonna did!”. The host (sane one as here) quipped “there’s gonna be a lot of meetings in Winston-Salem tomorrow.”

Give me a break.

now what the hell are you talking about, you bitter old man!

Smoke those Winstons, and you won’t see the future.

And no obvious piercings.
