[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 215937, member: 27"] It's an odd phenomenon I see in many films of the 1960s. Teenaged girls (who were actual teens...not the 'adults playing teens' like we see in TV shows today) wore dowdy hairdos and old-lady clothes. Then it struck me that the teenaged girls of the 1960s are now [I]actual old ladies,[/I] so maybe part of the problem is that their fashion choices back then are pretty much their fashion choices today. Why 1960s teen girls wanted to dress like their mothers, I have no idea. These days it's the mothers trying to dress like their teens. [USER=8]@Willie Oleson[/USER] used a GIF from [I]A Summer Place ([/I]1959) in one of the Soapland Battles which featured Constance Ford* (the mother) slapping the taste out of Sandra Dee (the daughter)'s mouth and people commented on 'that old woman' being slapped, since Sandra Dee (all of 16 yrs.) had the old-lady hairdo and bland overcoat on.
