blog discussions today.
i forgot my phone at home. cuz i was almost late this morning. so i hope nothing drastic happens today.
sports:
popular in the 1930s was boxing and baseball. olympics, woot.
football also got started, but it was reall dangerous, cuz they didnt have as much protective padding and the helmets were not...really...helmets...
movies:
in black and white. they didnt know how to do color quite yet, they were experimenting. the wizard of oz came out in 1939. disney branched off from just mickey mouse, with fiarytales and such. animations. snow white, etc. movie theatres dropped because people didnt have the money to spend on such things.
shows and movies used lots of dance numbers and witty jokes to make up for their lack of technology.
dracula, king kong, gone with the wind, and a whole bunch of other movies that have been redone. thank goodness. old movies are so....terrible. im sry. i just cant watch old crappy movies with bad special effects and hard-to-hear dialogue and hard-to-see-in-the-dark quiet moments. ugh. for example, i cant even watch The Titans all the way through. i saw the part with the statue of zeus and i was like, omg, turn the channel. mom. and she was like, why? we are from different times,
fashion:
open back stuff for women. started tanning "sunburning". fedora hats. fancy ties. nicker-bockers....like kaprees for guys...
swimsuits...and two pieces for girls. suit jackets changed, they now had shoulder pads and more defined shapes, for women too. women still had short hair, but now perms. by the end, hair was growing out more. dressed in cotton, it was cheap and looked nice. women were also more lady-like, wore longer skirts in the 30s. polymer, and nylon, was being produced in the late 30s.
and zippers! because they were cheap. also, gloves. like...elbow-length. silk type.
Music:
switchin up from the 20s music. it was still upbeat and party-ish, ment to be danced to. went from jazz...to swing! duke ellington was a major composer and artist.
some people were too preoccupied with finances to bother with music, but others used to it keep from being depressed. music was on the radios all the time.
bruns wants a time machine.
