was the glamorous clothing they wore for all the special occasions. It seemed like they would periodically write in a gala, wedding, or some such occasion just to get everybody dressed up. And they were always so beautiful. But they sure missed the mark on this one.
The Astronauts Wives, I though they came really close to the actual styles, hair and dress for the 60s. The only fault I had with that one was they were usually dressed too nicely for everyday wear at home. We wore more like capris and shirts during the day, not the dresses they portrayed. But the hair was spot on.
Yes, tie-dye and love beads were popular but were only a small part of the customs in the 60s. And I don’t think the “big hair” like they showed on the show (which was waaaay too exaggerated) really came into popularity until the 70s. The 60s were more like The Beach Boys, Annette Funicello, Bandstand, etc.
the whole thing. I thought Adrienne’s hair was absolutely the worst but followed closely behind by Theresa’s and all the others. Jen and Caroline’s make-up looked like they hadn’t washed their Halloween make-up off their faces yet. So horribly, horribly, horrible, I don’t know any other words that would describe the whole mess.
Some of the dresses were okay but all-in-all it was just plain horrendous. Nicole’s was nice but not for a gala. She looked more like office wear…kinda Ad Men look. I was around for the 60s and I did NOT dress like that nor did I wear my hair like that, even when it was all gussied up. Yes, it was similar but they were so over the top as to be cartoonish. They really missed the boat there, it could have been done very nicely and elegant but instead, it was laughable.
And Hope’s wedding dress? I liked the one in Aiden’s fantasy much better although this one was very pretty too.
natural sinister look. The minute he appeared on Days I could tell he was going to be a bad guy. Too bad because one tends to get type cast that way.
how everybody says “eye-ther” when most people pronounce it “ee-ther.” Especially Bo and Patch. They just don’t seem to be the type to pronounce it like that.
Another thing that isn’t really grammar but strange is when they are referring to an unborn baby, they seem to always say, “he or she,” or “him or her.” I think people usually say “it” or “they” or even “him.”
Must be in their Style Guide.
because I noticed that same thing. I couldn’t tell you what it is but I agree with you 100%. And, I too, would like to see Hope and Rafe together if Aiden isn’t going to work out, which I was really hoping for.
I don’t want to offend you and it IS a very petty thing but to me it’s like fingernails on the chalkboard (except for using more paragraphs because that makes things much easier to read). Personally, I want to know when I’m misusing grammar so everybody, please feel free to correct me if need be, I will thank you for it.
On the last Days board I was on, someone mentioned to me that I was misspelling surprise with a z instead of an s. I thanked her for it because, like I said, I really do want to improve my English. Another one I was very guilty of and still have a problem with is using lay when it should be lie. It just comes out wrong automatically so I know when you say you’re a creature of habit…been there also.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program…
with you both. I don’t much care for, oh heck, I can’t think of her name now, Jennifer Aniston’s BFF…she has her own late-night show. She is a total turn-off for me.
if he should meet his demise this time around. It’s a shame because I’ve always liked Bo but after all the shenanigans Peter has played with both TPTB and his fans, I just don’t like him anymore.
That has been driving me crazy because she uses it all the time but I didn’t want to appear to be the grammar police because the relationship between Patti and I is sometimes a little bit touchy. But I don’t think it will do any good because I’ve also tried to get her to use paragraphs to make the reading of her longer posts easier but haven’t gotten anywhere with that one either.
about 1/2 hour NW of Ft. Lauderdale. I like that the temps have dropped a little now down into the eighties but the humidity is still way to high. I’ve always said, winters in S. FL once the humidity drops is just about as ideal as you can get. I just love having all my doors and windows open to the fresh air.
It’s funny though, as close as we are to each other how different the weather can be. My son and family live in Deltona (between Daytona and Orlando for those not familiar and always think I’m talking about DAYTONA) often find the temps can be 20 degrees different, higher or lower, no rhyme or reason as to why. Although when I lived in CA, it was the same between San Jose and San Francisco. They are only 40 miles apart and I’ve experienced it being 90º in San Jose and 45º in SF.
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to winter.
