The Mad Hatter leering at Jackie Kennedy is a nice touch. Huzzah!

There's just no telling what might happen when you choose high-waisted banana capris and a clown blouse. QFT.

Wow. At one time Disney was considered hip enough, even for the Midwest of the times, to be considered a suitable backdrop for serious-people couture.

Apparently minorities and other people of colour did not exist during this time period. Certainly not in fashion.

What's really hysterical is how much of Disneyland is still there. Those trees in front of the castle? You can touch them. Those water buffalo from the Jungle Cruise? They've been watching that python in the tree every day since 1955.

Those water buffalo from the Jungle Cruise? They've been watching that python in the tree every day since 1955. Or, as the cruise operator likes to put it: "There's something you don't see every day... But I do."

Apparently minorities and other people of colour did not exist during this time period. Certainly not in fashion. You've just realized, in this thread, right now, that during the first 3/4 or so of the 20th Century American media used mostly white people for advertising and fashion? Man. You have some catching up to do.

Why were turbans ever popular? I mean, other than for Sikhs, other people from South Asia, Central Asia, Western China, etc...oh you get it

Turbans were somewhat popular for women because... it meant they didn't have to do anything with their hair. Quick, simple, plop it on and go. No need to tease, torture, spray, comb, curl, inflate, insert beehives, spiders, or whatever.

Note that the models are NOT emaciated, and a few are downright sturdy looking.

Passengers on board Disneyland's new Columbia sailing ship will never get scurvy... They just don't write ad copy like they used to.

Plus, a tight belt and clever cutting. I'm an hourglass and if I wear something cut for an hourglass, my waist looks a lot smaller than it does in jeans and a T-shirt.

Faze: "Note that the models are NOT emaciated..." O rly? What do you think her waist size is? workerant: "emaciated" does not mean "small-waisted, with a BMI in the first half of the nominally 'healthy' range."

Ah, the good old days, when fashion was only for women to wear.
