Hi everyone
I'm new here so just wanted to say hi and hopefully make some new friends with similar interests.
Although I'm in my early 30s, I've always had a bit of an obsession over the 1950s, 60s and 70s era's from music, fashion/ vintage clothing, sewing patterns, crochet patterns/books, hairstyles and of course the VW Campervan and Beetle.
Does anyone else like these era's?
Share your experiences, hobbies and interests or what songs you like from the 50s, 60s or 70s. I would love to hear them
I think I was born in the wrong era but the beauty of not being alive then is I can indulge to my hearts content with rose tinted spectacles. I have always had a natural affinity with the sixties and seventies. In particular certain aspects of interior design and a certain colour palate I am drawn to for reasons i dont know. There are nods to this around my house. I like some of the fashions and art. The music has woven through all my life. I have had growing interest in the counter culture of this era over the past couple of years but it's always been in my awareness. When I was growing up I used to love seeing what I could find in the charity and junk shops. Back then, vintage wasn't a "thing" so there seemed to be more stuff around and it was relatively cheap.
We were a victim of our own success.
I prefer quantum entanglement.
Ahh.....you curious humanoid.....maybe we came on the same mothership....just in different waves. Or. We came on the same mothership in the same wave, but within slightly off-set dimensions (due to red shift.) Think the opening titles to "His Dark Materials." Or. We just hold similar views on certain aspects of our current realities.
I prefer the intergalactic explanations personally.
Yours,
Meta Number.
You know I'm really surprised you've said that!
Gosh.....I feel the exact same way....who would have expected that?!
We were! On reflection i realised how important authenticity is to me and I had problems with people who picked up on "vintage" as a trend like anything else (and to make money from) rather than just enjoying things for what they were and the visual aesthetic appeal. The words shabby chic bring me out in a rash. I had a friend who used to "upcycle" furniture with emulsion paint (ie, ruin it).
