I think the whole aesthetic of the fourties is the most attractive we have ever been. The women looked so beautiful and with just the right balance of femininity and strength. They seemed on equal footing with men socially through a sly use of sexuality and social mores that existed. The rules were respected and enforced voluntarily without being some big brotherish call a lawyer thing. That's how it looked anyway. I'm sure I'm seeing it through a soft fuzzy lense though.

Rita did everything Fred did and she did it going backwards too!
Well, I mean when they were balldancing.
Sixty is a great tap dancer. Few folks know that.
Sixty doesn't even have to throw some sand down for his swift shoe routine since it's already spread all over his cabin floor.
Oy gevalt. SOFT shoe
Careful ricpic, he can also strap you to a board and send you through a buzz saw.
Then there'd be more mes!
That's alright, ricpic, plenty of sawdust to sop it up.
Bago, the Forties were awesome, but the Fifties hold the nostalgia award for me. The full skirts, the short, sassy hair-dos...
A lot of singers and actors/actresses back then had class. A lot of class.
