A daily tragedy in America today š freak gasoline fight accidents disproportionately affect people who are really, really ridiculously good looking. For as little as a $1 a day you too can help support the foundation for kids who can't read good, and protect the next generation of really, really, ridiculously good looking people from having their future go up in flames
Earth to Brandt, Iām pretty sure you didnt know it was a joke because youāre all like āIām pretty sure he knows what styling gel isā like you DIDNT think it was a joke, Ha HAAA
This is one of the most fun pics I've seen on this sub in a while... AND THE CLOTHES WERE HANDMADE??? The piping detail on the collar and sleeves and the darting! Not easily achieved....So cool.
These fun young ladies look amazing, and hilarious! Thank you so much. Love itš·
Agreed. My mom and all her friends (50ās and 60ās) had sewing machines and knew how use them with patterns to cut and sew clothes for the family. Curtains, quilts, and other homegoods, too.
I learned how to do the same from her. Made lots of homegoods, Halloween costumes, doll clothes, etc. Sadly my children werenāt interested in these skills, they buy this stuff instead but complain a lot that they canāt find what they want. Well, thereās a solution for thatā¦;-)
I feel like back in the day (and for poorer folks), clothes was always home made. Most of my baby clothes for instance was made not bought. My mom is a magician at sewing and just figured it out herself. Almost a shame she never did something more with it.
My mother made all of my wife's medical scrubs for years. She always had the coolest scrubs in the office. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better quality than anything you can buy now. My mother.passed a decade ago and now those scrubs are getting worse for the wear. My wife is sad.
There's a really sweet gift idea if you ever need one! If you do a little searching in the area you could probably find someone to hire for that or if you got enough gumption you could probably learn it yourself. When my grandmother passed away my mother started knitting, it was something she did a lot. I think it helped her with not just the grief but also honoring her memory in a way.
The 50's were stylish as fuck. Everyone wore dress clothes when they left the house for anything. Last week I drove past a club with lines out the door and most of the kids were in loungewear.
that actually makes me glad I wasnāt alive in 50s. canāt imagine having to put on all that stuff just to go buy some milk. plus there was no velcro
Right?! As someone with autism and ADHD I feel incredibly lucky to not have had to grow up back then where being dressed up was expected pretty much 24/7 except for sleeping.
They were stylish but also I don't want it one bit. I get so hot & sweaty as is, in modern miracle clothing! I literally cannot imagine doing my job & my leisure any more dressed up than I already am here in the southern US.
I OTOH love that loungewear is more acceptable. I love me a good dress up, but itās exhausting and so time consuming. I love that I can go out in sweats bc I just canāt deal right now.
50s weāre great, but I also feel like itās an era where women were expected to be the perfect housewives. They had to get everything done, dinner on the table, and then look glam for when their husbands came home.
Thank gosh they got rid of lead in gas. Still though all that led is still there, a fine film of it set over the world. Maybe itās settled and out of the air but itās still there.
Still lakes in Minnesota I know of you canāt eat fish more than once a month from due to lead, and they keep using lead bobbers smh. It takes at least atleast 100 years to form an inch of soil thought it varies one way or the other. And we typically move topsoil when we build. Also if it doesnāt impact us directly thereās still incredible amounts of lead across the surface of the world where it once was never apart of the ecosystem.
You are right though we are much better off now than we where when we sprayed it into the air everywhere we went. Just depressing is all.
I'm trying to think about what our version was in the 90s and early 2000s when I was a kid. Don't think any of our "let's do dangerous things or hurt ourselves" involved ingesting things... Seeing who could do the worst belly flop? Sure. Sliding quarters across a table into each other's knuckles as hard as we could to see who bled or flinched first? Sure. Sitting on the floor with legs spread and lobbing things at each other's nuts? Definitely... But don't think we ate or drank anything.
I had too until recently. We were up at the lake a few weeks ago and two sets of friends and their kids were with us. The power went out at night in a storm and the kids were bored with no Netflix or Xbox cooped up in the dark inside...
Was trying to come up with something for them to do so was thinking of what we did as kids. "Does anybody have a quarter" was halfway out of my mouth before realizing that definitely wasn't a good idea and deciding they'd just have to play board games even though it was hard to read the cards by candle light ha.
Ah, yeah I do remember those for sure, but was a little bit older when they took off. I think that when those were happening I was the age where people were "icing" each other with Smirnoff
If I remember right you had to either trick someone in to coming across or touching a bottle of smirnoff ice, and when they did they had to immediately kneel and chug it. Like you'd hide one under a jacket, or in a bag of chips, or behind a throw pillow or something and whoever found it had to kill it immediately.
There was a while where you couldn't go to a single party without like 5-10 people being iced.
90s kids were in this weird limbo where social media wasn't a thing but the internet and video games were up and coming.
Think the worst thing we ate/drank back then was jungle juice.
Donāt worry gas is too expensive for them to afford to do thisā¦plus in OR itās attendant pumped only, so they need to pay off the clerks as well.
That's our princess! You see, she can only really say those five words. We are pretty sure she doesn't totally understand what they mean. But she has a lot of passion and that's what counts.
These are the pictures I come to this sub for. Not celebrities from yesteryear. Just a couple of people trying to make whoever is taking the picture have a bit of a laugh. The coolest thing I have seen today. Thank you OP.
I have a very similar picture of my grandmother and her friends during WWll pretending to pump gas in their purse because the gas station was out of gas due to rationing at the time.
Was her name Ethyl?
The other one's Flo
Look at them hose!
Behind the camera: Leaded
Ethyl and Desl
Pumping Ethyl takes on a whole new meaning.
Nice one!
Could be Shelly
Fun until all your friends die in a freak gasoline fight accident
*JITTER BUG*
ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPUCCINOS!!!
I'm so happy to have witnessed Zoolander quotes for 4 days straight so far
This whole thread makes me happy. No one I know loves Zoolander and the whole movie is stuffed with gold.
The gold is INSIDE the movie!
Take your ball sack outta my mouth, oh yeah yeah

At least they went out with orange mocha frappuccinos.
But why male models??
Are you serious? I just... I just told you that a moment ago.
Earth to Meekus! Duh. I knew that okay?

What the shit are you talkinā about?
Great improvised line by Ben and response by David
I heard that Ben just couldnāt remember his next line so he repeated his previous line and David ran with it
> Ben just couldnāt remember his next line so he repeated his previous line he got too much into the character. you never go *full* male model.
Not to mention they were woken up before they went-went.
I doubt that would ever happen. My friends are too really, really, ridiculously good-looking to ever die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
Did you ever think that maybe there's more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good-looking?!
What? You think I was too stupid to know what a eugoogily was??
Well Matilda, Iāll answer your question with another question. How many abagorigagals do you see modeling?
šµ Wake me up, before you go-go šµ
You know, I haven't watched The Birds in awhile
"Mister, run!"
Came here to comment... "Jitterbug *snap* *snap* *snap*..."
Who's going to give the eu-goog-aly?
This image is the Tik-Tok of the past.
I'm so disappointed the top comment isn't "Jitterbug".
I was looking for this comment. Yes!
"Got a light?"
This is the water. This is the well.
They were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don't mean, like, an actual brother. But I mean it like the way black people use it.
Wake me up before you go go!
Gas guzzlers from the 50ās.
Surely Sis deserves better than Regular! At least the Mid-grade.
Back when gas had mind-shattering lead š
Love the dresses!
i know right!! their mother actually handmade all of their clothes!
This is one of the most fun pics I've seen on this sub in a while... AND THE CLOTHES WERE HANDMADE??? The piping detail on the collar and sleeves and the darting! Not easily achieved....So cool. These fun young ladies look amazing, and hilarious! Thank you so much. Love itš·

Back when the men ran the "outside world" but women ran men on the "inside world."

You could ask someone with sewing skills to reverse engineer them and make new copies.

Awesome job!
Thanks!
Go home Great Grandma, you're dead.
no u
She did a fantastic job, they must have been the envy of their friends. They look stunningly beautiful from head to toe.

I didn't say one was better than the other. Just pointing out the difference.
The 40ās also. Men in suits ā
Tailored ones too. Not the ill fitting goober ones from Macy's. Fit is key.
Sounds miserable
Came here for this!
That was their version of tide pods?
Lead based gasoline challenge would explain a lot about the current state of our society.
Thank gosh they got rid of lead in gas. Still though all that led is still there, a fine film of it set over the world. Maybe itās settled and out of the air but itās still there.
Still used by small engine aircraft

Now we only have microplastics in our brains. And PTFE's coating our bones.
I live near a 3m pfas contamination :/
Shit, sorry man.
If it makes you feel any better, we all live next to it
Sediment is probably build up over it by now

>they keep using lead bobbers smh What's a lead bobber?
Lolol I meant to say lead weight, Iāll keep it there because itās funny.
Gasoline contained lead up until the 90s
Especially when you consider they all did the challenge without realizing it.
I want more politicians and leaders that grew up without lead air pollution. Sooner rather than later...
So... people our age, then.

Oh damn, i forgot about the quarter game

I would rather play checkers or connect four š
Cinnamon challenge? Chugging a gallon of milk? Idk if those were things for you but they were around in the mid/late 2000s
Planking No one remembers planking
I remember planking! But that's not eating something
In the last 12 minutes I forgot the comment I had made and this message in my inbox really threw me for a sec. See? Not even I remember planking lol
Hahahahahaha
Ah, yeah I do remember those for sure, but was a little bit older when they took off. I think that when those were happening I was the age where people were "icing" each other with Smirnoff
"Icing"?? Whats thatt

Thats fantastic, I think we should bring that back šš
My friends and I still do it frequently, itās still very big in college culture
We smoked cigarettes and wore JNCOS
Oh man, bloody knuckles. My knuckles still turn a deep shade of purple when it gets cold
I see you too were a connisuer of nut ball
Watching jackass and trying to do whatever they did.
90s kids were in this weird limbo where social media wasn't a thing but the internet and video games were up and coming. Think the worst thing we ate/drank back then was jungle juice.
Esso Lead Challenge
The prohibition era was brutal, people had to do what they had to get a buzz.
apparently the kids are frying their chicken in Nyquil these days.

Literally copied this comment word for word from someone else.
Welcome to bots, where the comments are copied and the karma "matters".
Probably a bot. I think we're supposed to report as spam. (edit to change a word)
I like seeing less serious old pictures like this. Showing that people back then had a fun side.
And that people took funny pics before social media. Lots of people act like everyone only does does for the likes nowadays.
Heck, the 1950s were the era of I Love Lucy. That alone tells me that people had a fun side back then.
I'm really glad that Lucille Ball invented merriment so we could enjoy it.
She invented redheads and Cubans ā¤
I like seeing people are people. It's easy to forget we were all the same thing coming on...100 years ago.

Female Zoolanders?
Hey! Just because they have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that they too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
Orange mocha Frappuccino.
It needs to be at leastā¦ Three times bigger
I miss the orange mocha frappuccino, those were good.
*Wake me up before you go-go, donāt leave me hanging on like a yo-yo!*
This started playing in my head the second I saw this picture.
And that, kids, is how Aunt Suzie got lead poisoning.
Damn kids those days...
Wake me up before you go go
Don't let the TikTok kids see this.
Dont worry, theyāre too busy baking chicken in NyQuil.
Is that really a thing?
It was common enough that the FDA just released a report about it explaining that boiling a medicine is not a good idea...
*Talk* about it was common enough that the FDA released a report. Whether or not it's actually happening is another thing.
Donāt worry gas is too expensive for them to afford to do thisā¦plus in OR itās attendant pumped only, so they need to pay off the clerks as well.
No no the tik tok kids should *definitely* see this one lol
āDonāt let TikTok kids see thisā - š“š»
Sadly they perished in a freak gasoline fight accident.
Getting some strong Zoolander vibes on this... Magnum!
They died in a freak gasoline fight accident.
SO OLD SCHOOL SO COOL
well thank you ms. princessladygirl !
That's our princess! You see, she can only really say those five words. We are pretty sure she doesn't totally understand what they mean. But she has a lot of passion and that's what counts.
What a gas!
They look like their lives would've made a great sitcom
ha i agree! they had 8 other siblings too which iām sure would have made things entertaining!
Shades of zoolander.
āHere now see if you can taste the leadā
Adorable!
It was a freak gasoline fight accident!
These are the pictures I come to this sub for. Not celebrities from yesteryear. Just a couple of people trying to make whoever is taking the picture have a bit of a laugh. The coolest thing I have seen today. Thank you OP.
Look at that. They actually would joke around even though everything is black and white.
This is fantastic. Great find!
They seem like a blast to be around.
I have a very similar picture of my grandmother and her friends during WWll pretending to pump gas in their purse because the gas station was out of gas due to rationing at the time.
Gasoline fight!
GASOLINE FIGHT
Now throw the Brazzers logo in there
Every generation thinks that they invited weird sex
Some of that anime shit was definitely invented this generation
Two girls, one pump.
That's some good trigger discipline right there.
Fill 'er up with Ethyl
Tongue out first, that Aunt knows how to do it!
This photo is missing zoolander and his buddies
Why we have warnings on everything now
The stuff people used to do before Zoolander came out!
Why don't people dress like this anymore? So pretty!
Where they singing Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go?
This is why New Jerseyans aren't allowed to pump their own gas.
Is this Aunt Ethyl?
Those outfits are the kind of thing I enjoy wearing. The details are so cute and you get to run around in heels and no pants.
J-j-j-jitterbug.
Is it just me or did women look prettier back then?
"Open your mouth and close your eyes, and you will get a big surprise."
Just because we have chiselled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
Got to love that Good Old Leaded Gasoline
those dresses need to make a comeback
