This is just way too out there. Sure...I 100% agree. This is just way too out there. Sure it's their lives to live but to take it so far as to ignore reality? Not to mention that they all contradict themselves at least once in their section of the article. The 50's lady says that she doesn't like materialism and yet her life is ALL about material things. Just because they are from a different decade doesn't make it non-materialistic! The 40's lady mentioned that she and her husband want to go back to when everyone was friendly and neighbors helped one another out- and then she says they don't know their neighbors and aren't friendly with anyone who doesn't love the 40's! How does THAT work? And lastly the 30's lady wants a more simplistic life and yet spends ages sourcing items on the internet for her lifestyle. I like the idea of life being more like it was in the past- modesty could use a revival for one, spending could reigned in more, etc but they don't do a very good job of portraying that in my opinion. <br />So glad you posted this though! Regardless of my opinions on some of the things said it was a really interesting read!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703630449276209732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-4311787191521330292010-04-27T17:11:53.884-05:002010-04-27T17:11:53.884-05:00Becky, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. ...Becky, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

She had received really awful comments from people who didn't know her.<br /><br />She has a job, yet was shown as a woman who stays in the household and tends for her husband's every whim. <br /><br />By the way, just for context, the Daily Mail is a newspaper that is renowned in the UK for being an intolerant, scaremongering rag. Nobody over here takes it seriously. <br /><br />Robin- I'm confused by your post. You condemn them for living in a "fantasyland" and then go on to slate them for owning modern conveniences.<br /><br />I don't understand why people can't just accept that some people like to live in a different way. It might not be to your taste, but it makes them happy. Where is the harm in that?Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954032264773780641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-55481503997231804182010-04-25T20:19:49.369-05:002010-04-25T20:19:49.369-05:00I think it is sad that these women have to create ...I think it is sad that these women have to create a fantasyland to live in.<br />They say they just like to live in their era but one has a dvd player underneath her modern tv in a 1950's cabinet, another uses the internet to find her vintage purchases and another likes a real 'lady' like Ava Gardner. Ava Gardner who had an affair with Frank Sinatra that ended his marriage? <br />Interesting story.robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550331917150660121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-48764839265109416662010-04-25T18:58:00.334-05:002010-04-25T18:58:00.334-05:00I guess I am number 100. :) As for the article ...I guess I am number 100. :) As for the article ... I think these women have taken a hobby / obsession and gone hunting for a rationale to explain it. Nothing wrong with romanticizing an era for fun, but they're clearly only reading the parts of the history books that interest them!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674930108735903116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-41888744211456189282010-04-25T18:29:22.692-05:002010-04-25T18:29:22.692-05:00You have 99 followers...wish I could follow again ...You have 99 followers...wish I could follow again and be your 100th...come on folks...she needs 100.Sassy Lassies Vintage Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537761367611783397noreply@blogger.com
