FR..

It's going to look attractive as a way of living if you've chosen it and have other options.

agirl

This is the crux of my attraction to it. I have choices through a career which allow me the freedom to choose to making the house, cooking and keeping him satisfied my focus. If I had few other options, such as the women who actually lived through the 50s, then I doubt I would enjoy it quite so much. I'm exceedingly grateful for the women who came before me. Their sacrifices are what allow me to kick a** in court then come home to fetch coffee and fix a kick a** dinner. And a rather large part of me loves the dicotomy of my day-time profession and the choices I've made in my private life.

I tend to like 50's style stuff.
Both the clothing styles and the furnishings.
I associate that era with houses having bigger kitchens, too, which was nice.
Things hadn't quite gone modular and streamlined yet.

My friends and I used to live in old apartments and had a lot of that stuff (clothing, overbuilt furniture, appliances with a lot of chrome and rounded corners, frilly aprons, kitchy stuff). It would have made a great setting for it. At that early date I hadn't been aware of the possibilities of combining D/s with whatever we might conceive of as a 50's style relationship.

We wouldn't have attempted it full-time (we both appreciate things about the modern world too much), but we could have had a lot of fun with it, I think.

I kind of like the idea of it as a retirement option. LOL
Shoot.. no working outside the home, staying at home to cook (which I love) and cleaning with all the modern convieniences, plus having a computer to play on all day, a tv to watch, music at will.. and sex if he can still get it up.
Yep.. thats my idea of retirement.
Which.. is SO unlikely to be in my future!
Heh.. I will work until I keel over. And hopefully keel over doing something fun.

Ahh the dream......chances are i agree no working away from home but 'piece work' taken in to earn 'pin money'.....making the house was likely unpicking woolens and re-knitting, saving every button taken off previous clothes...in a button tin, expertise in everything from crotchet to button-holing to invisible darning, no non-stick pans, only seasonal food and washing up by hand.....copper polish, silver polish and beating mats over the garden line. Keeping him well-fed and not moaning about the Brylcream on his pillow cases or his snoring from a high fat diet or early heart attack from untipped cigarettes. No computer and limited television coverage. No raised consciousness, fish on Fridays and washing dry on a dry day only........Evanol hair dye, spit in your mascara and Amami hair setting lotion....carbolic soap or Fairy Green, pig bins and an outside lavatory......ahh nostalgia and the good life (not).

Since I have about $120k in school loans I'll be right there working until I die too. But I'll enjoy what I have right now anyway.

I lived it until my divorce. I cooked & cleaned and went to the PTA meetings in dresses. Now when my son (19) speaks of it, he just tell his friend, "Mom's old fashioned".

Pssst. I just highlight and backspace over the stuff I don't want, just keep an eye on the quote marks so you don't delete them.

Well, First you have to Turn the color of your television set to black and white, then make dinner for Ward, Wally, and the Beaver....Simulataneously vacuuming the rug while wearing a 1950's era house dress and apron with pearls on..
