Poking around British Pathe's archives this morning (taking some badly needed downtime after the huge avalanche of work finally ended yesterday*) I came across this really funny clip from the 1960s - the first half is about fashionable London women who are allegedly running around knocking over men and stealing their "manly goods" in the name of fashion (see the lady above, shoving men aside to get into a scooter shop and steal their touch-up paint for her nails)! The second half features some cool Mary Quant outfits being modelled down at the river. Silly fun for a Saturday!
*We barely, and I mean barely, made the deadline yesterday, but we did it! Yay! No-one wants to be responsible for screwing up the Treehouse of Horror. I thought I was going to go blind working on that strip....but hopefully it does actually look good. We'll all see in October!
So glad you made the deadline, and without going blind!!
ReplyDeleteLoved this video too, I wonder what else a modern girl can steal from men?
