Get in the mindset

I imagine he fifties would be a fun time to live in. This was when Rock and Roll was just starting out, in those days Rock and Roll was sort of out there and frowned upon. In the fifties Elvis was one of the biggest stars his fans loved him! But there where a lot of people who frowned upon his dancing styles on stage and thought it was inappropriate. (If only the people of the fifties could see Miley Cyrus)

In my opinion fashion of the fifties was amazing! I love the long dresses that most of the girls would wear and i think that there shoes where unbelievably cute! Some examples of fashion would be long skirts, poodle skirts, flannel, letter jackets, clothing with letters on it, and a few bright out going colors. If i could bring back one fashion it would definitely be the fifties!

Get Happy

Today I watched the episode "Richie's car", the second episode of the second season. In this episode Richie is embarrassed of his father driving him everywhere. As a result Richie convinces his parents to get him a car, they buy it from Fonzie. The car is a tricked out red convertible with the words "Love Bandit" on the side. Howard doesn't want to buy it so they pant it blue and convince him its beneficial for their lifestyle. Ritchie then learns shortly after that it is a stolen car and confesses to the police who take him to the station. With Fonzie's smooth talking and confidence he rolls in and saves the day, turns out the car wasn't stolen and Richie gets to paint it red again.

In this episode I got a good feel for the characters, there are the cool slick type (the Fonz), the dorky type (Richie), the flirty type and the sophisticated type. The "Happy Days" series reminds me of the movie "Grease", the clothes, the cars, the hair and the technology. I noticed that most of are really peppy and "don't kiss on the first date" The 50's seems like a fun generation to live in and I am really looking forward to the musical this year!
