I feel like Madge over there on the far right is a hoot.
Slickness81 t1_iy9mris wrote
These ladies are my dads age, she’s probably a Rebecca(Becky), Peggy, or a Susan. The Eleanor, Madge, Mildred crew was the generation before.
Sheila_Monarch t1_iya2k48 wrote
You’re right. I just want to believe it was Madge LOL. But almost certainly it was a Peggy or Susan
Slickness81 t1_iyc0bep wrote
From left to right, Barbara, Karen, Susan, Peggy

…or Carol, Linda, Kathy, Brenda
Slickness81 t1_iyc0ug3 wrote
Fair, my mom is Kathy with a K from that generation and her best friend is Linda
Velouria91 t1_iyc10ew wrote
My mom is named Kathy and she has a friend named Linda. The boomer women had a few basic names.
Slickness81 t1_iyc1389 wrote
It’s kinda all generations, I coached cheerleading for fifteen years, and every 3 years or so there were about 10 names every kid had
Velouria91 t1_iyc1ehb wrote
My name is Kelly. I was born in the early 70s. When I was a kid, there were lots of Kellys, Jennifers, Michelles, and Melissas.
Slickness81 t1_iyc1gbt wrote

Gotta be one Betty in that bunch.
Slickness81 t1_iyc01wk wrote
Would have probably been a Liz or Beth at that era, Liz Taylor was in her prime, so most Elizabeth’s would have probably gone with Liz… Betty from the Flintstones came out in 1960, so she too was a tribute to the generation just before this one.

Someone should pshop modern haircuts onto this, because other than the hair and car this looks very contemporary.

Surprised you ain’t downvoted tbh. You probably would’ve been called bigot on any other sub lmaoo

In know. It's weird because it is no secret that over the past 40 years industrialised food has caused massive weight gain at all ages

I was in high school back then, that photo gave me flashbacks. We all thought we were so cool back then but those hairdos. Lots of teasing went on back in the 60s.

I’m sure there were plenty of fat people in the 60s, but damn….. every picture I look at it seems everyone was trim.
animal_wax OP t1_iya5cui wrote
Probably because people ate less processed food, smoked more, and just moved their bodies more (less sitting around watching TV)
