What Dressing Up Looked Like In The 1930's

In the 1930's fur was very popular in fashion- so were sequins and a long line - and the influence of movie stars on fashion began to grow. Perhaps the glamor was a needed relief from the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Or perhaps the popularity of that new medium "the talkies" and the ability to make more complex movies, such as musicals, made dressing up more glamorous and fun. The beautiful gowns of the 1930's are still a fashion influence today on the Red Carpet, but some things like wearing real fur is now out of date. Do you recognize the similarities to today’s fashion?

Images of Powerful Women

"It's not easy being green" - Kermit the frog. We could just as well say "it's not easy being a woman", at least a woman in the past. These images contain the faces of powerful women who worked to change the world, change their own lives, help others, and labored with power and courage fighting for civil rights. These women employed their talents and abilities without many of the privileges and rights that we have today. How much more can we do today, thanks to their efforts yesterday?

1968 - 50 Years Ago This Year

For some of us it's rather hard to imagine that it's been exactly 50 years since 1968. 50 years! In 1968, man hadn't yet stepped on the moon, women's rights were again becoming an issue, and computers were still taking up a whole room. Some of you might not have even been alive - so 1968 might seem as though it is "ancient history". But for those of us who were alive, do you remember what songs were at the top of the charts? The newest "advances" in technology that seem quaint today? Remember what was important culturally and politically (::ahem:: the Vietnam War in the U.S.)?
