Flight Attendant Fads

[elleflies]

Throwing out another Flight Attendant related photo... This one of a magazine spread from sometime in the 50s I believe. The Smithsonian is just stuffed to the gills with interesting and absolutely horrifying things such as this.

A Japanese in every Jet as a new stewardess fad?

Really?

They've really managed to boil down women into something more akin to trading cards. Coming soon! Collect every one!

The mindset behind these kinds of fads is one I'm happy to have left in the past. I know it still lurks in modern day society and I look forward to the day when it really is in the past in a permanent kind of way.

Sadly I still have people call me that. The poor dears.

My dad calls flight attendants "trolly dollies". I don't think to their faces, but you can never be sure with him.

First I was horrified and then I loled.

I've been referring to myself as a Trolly Dolly all night now.

It's one of those I can say it but I'll smack any man who does kind of things.

BTW, your dad... IDEK.
