    Yes but we wouldn't have the social freedoms we have now, to be who we want, also they had more of a class system and small town mentality. I went through many old photos of hard strained severe looking people, old before their time. The photos I select seem to just step out of the era, but a lot look like stuffy old bankers and harridans from old movies. I love the male hairdo that is high on top and fluffed out at the ears. Being rich would've been the only way to live, but without a hairdryer or the internet or films, for me I'm afraid not. I think they had to sit still for 15 minutes for the camera in those days, and thats why the eyes look weird sometimes. Robbie.
