Lying on the beach with little clothes on ❌

Drawing a fantasy of people on the beach with little clothes ✅

Oogling at it at the sundaybreakfast table and making a crude joke about it to your wife ✅

No navel... Definitely pre 60s. Even photos of film stars were censored in that regard.

Doing some looking around, looks like this is a page from Betty and Veronica #201, which was published in 1972. Also, the one posted has been colorized, it was originally black and white. image

Nah, the bell bottoms, the heart shaped belt buckle, the clunky shoes, the decor, the micro-bikini, etc., all screams 60s.

What?! The belly button was obscene at one point?

I guess that kind of makes sense contextually but it’s still extremely silly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Yep. Saw some magazines from the 50s on a flea market here in Germany, and they showed pictures of some actresses in swim wear frollicking on a beach.

They were clones.

Stupid sexy Veronica

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I don't understand, I'm dumb. Why would Veronica not be allowed on the beach?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Because it's 1950 and this breaks modesty norms for the time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is that the reason why the bra burning feminism took place in the USA ?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Up until a few years ago the US was one of the better countries with women's rights. Not to say that the US was great in this regard, just everyone else sucked more. Our abortion laws were considered quite progressive and radical for a while there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

More or less. Keep in mind, bras back then were way more cumbersome than now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I thought it would be much later than that. Oh well, it is what it is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh I was a decade off. I thought 40s.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

You could be correct, I just tossed an estimate out there.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Because Betty wouldn't be able to resist tearing the bikini off with her teeth?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Her black hair marks her as a jewess and this was forbidden at the time.

How did you manage to put an entire url in just those two words ??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It's called markdown. (More specifically CommonMark)

You can check out the supported syntax by Lemmy HERE. It has a lot of other features available to format text & stuff.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

No no no, the answer is

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You can attach hyperlinks to text like that. The format is [the text you want to show up] (the url). You just have to get rid if the space between the ] and the ( that I put in to stop it from happening this time.

When the composer of that song died, I read in his obituary that he had called that song a "non-stop money-making machine," because it generated royalties so consistently for decades.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Veronica and Betty - the original Ginger and Mary Ann.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I'm gonna guess this one is from the 1940s.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh sure!! As long as it's my private beach!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do you have a private beach ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I was more thinking of Betty's private beach
