This makes me happy. There’s a whole blog, Paleo-Future.Com, that focuses on images of the future that people in the past have held. Lots of Disney stuff, of course, but other very fascinating pictures, videos, and other resources.

It is true that the “women” you see in fashion magazines don’t truly exist. Even Cindy Crawford has said “even I don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.” Now you can watch the evolution from reality to fantasy. I had to watch it twice.

You know, I was looking for that special something for that special someone… something that said, “I was thinking of YOU!” and I found, well, this.

I randomly came upon a site called Cate’s Garage Sale Finds: “‘Teenagers’ from 1954: Grooming and Body Issues”. I haven’t explored the rest of the garage sale finds, but this page offers grooming tips AND early work by Mr. Luke Perry!
