Goodbye Vargas Pin Up Girls

In the 1950’s we thought we were so modern, so sophisticated, so posh. When Barbie came out, she was the rage, and we little girls thought we were ready by gosh. Goodbye Vargas pinup girls, good bye hoop skirts, and Betty Boop. Some of us would confer. A 1950’s art peek might amaze you as to how into space travel we were. The ones who were in style so to speak, we decorated with abstracts, big and bold. Moms carefully steered clear of the nature colors of our grandmothers, they seemed way too old. These colors came back into style about twenty years ago, full force and all. To jog your memory bank, look at the ads of your childhood. They are a wake up call.
