How to be Pretty: Vintage 1960s Beauty Routine: 4K Colorized 

😂🤣😂

​@@nharber9837yeah thats a quote from Henry Ford himself

1 1/2 - 3 inches high!!!

Don’t forget the heel has to be 1.5 inch high

Ugh

It's still a thing for more casual or ceremonial attire for ladies and for first female officers too, exact same style of uniform too. They can now wear a lower heel but it still has to be a heel.

Actually, the military issued her flats ugly tie ups, pretty much what the men were issued for dress uniform. She could choose to wear heels on her own dime. But those shoes had to meet reg. While I was in during the 90s, the rules were similar. It was even the same with my combat boots. We were issued a base pair. We could opt for better ones (there were uniform stores on most bases). You could buy better. Same with headgear. Depending on your job, you had options, but beyond the basic issued, it was on your dime.

@@FlyingMonkies325female soldiers are issued slacks and loafers but have the option to buy a skirt and heels (for enlisted, don’t know about officers)

Not just any heel either. Remember it has to be “at least 1.5 inches high”.

LOL

😂

And the men will surely take notice of the most miniscule details on womens shoes

Did you miss the point of a uniform? 😀

@@differnet No but it seems like the narrator did! That's why this specific comment was so funny! Uniforms are the antithesis of individuality 🤣

Same. I never wear bras either

I don't understand the logic behind the rule about soldiers, policemen, firefighters, gym professors.... wearing up to 3 inches of heels. When they wear uniform they should be ready to do their job. Their job isn't looking good. Fighting in high heels? Saving people in high heel? It makes no sense. P.D: Science (doctors) says that wearing anything above 5 cm is not good for women's health. It deforms feet and it creates pain in women's reproductive system.

I can't wear heels, they hurt my feet.

@@enibeni2071 For military your service dress is not normally worn for your actual job unless you work in an office setting, and even then most of the heels I see worn are 2" and under. A 1.5 inch heel is lower than even most men's cowboy and riding boots. For women who have really large feet, a 3 inch heel is fairly easy to walk in all day. They didn't, and don't, ask that you wear heels with your actual working uniform be it the old school fatigues or newer acp/ocps.

I remember them, yes

There are still plenty of shoe stores that measure your feet, especially if you’re buying more expensive (or possibly custom) shoes. Although, admittedly, they are less common now than they were in the past (I’m a 90s kid btw). I still see them though sometimes!

Is there not always a person who measures your feet?

@@BestFriendsWhoLiveTogether The only place I’ve seen it now is Nordstrom but maybe other places still do. I’m not sure. When I go to DSW no one helps you. They just leave those nylon no show socks and leave you to try them on. That’s been my experience

@Primvera1998 oh ive never seen that, not where i live atleast

Yes. She coloured her brows, did eyeliner, powder, and lipstick.

Poor women? 😂

@@Rosetea405 I understand your question about "poor women", but I happen to believe that women should not need to paint their faces. Makeup, or face painting, and complicated hair styling are used as masks. A woman today doesn't feel comfortable out in public unless they have their lengthy furry eyelashes on, loads of makeup, botox injections, and who know whatever else. It is all a mask designed to please themselves and men, too. It's fake.

Everyone wears a “mask” it has nothing to do with makeup. Some people like looking pretty. If it involves makeup and they want to wear it who cares? Not everyone thinks like you.

@@Rosetea405a lot of women then enjoyed the makeup application process, if anything it seems it was more acceptable to wear makeup than it is now

@@xolovenicole Let me guess, when you see a make up influencer on RU-vid or TikTok you complain they're doing it wrong

Yes, I read them, but I don't remember that detail 😂

oh my lord 😲 I'm glad your grandma and the other old lady beat him up!

Good old street justice. Love it. What I recall from going to the shoe store was the X-Ray machine for the feet.

😂 Go Granny!

Man let the intrusive thoughts win that day. Now one must ask him, was it worth it?

Your grandmother (and the other old lady) sounds awesome!

Standards 😂

You can express your individuality as long as you pick from a virtually identical lineup of black leather high heels.

I was going to say the same! 🤣

I just made almost the same comment. As long as your shoe is: -black -leather -closed heel -closed toe -no less than 1" -no more than 3" Feel free to express your individuality, ladies!!!

Welcome to the military. What's messed up is being required to wear heels. It's bad enough for your feet having to run all the time in clunky boots. Not to mention having to be physically strong but also extremely lightweight for the amount of muscle one develops. Or were the WACS not held to military fitness standards?

Of course it did, even today you get yelled at or worse in the Army if your appearance is not in regulation. The rules were stricter then. I know a soldier of arab ethnicity who has to shave twice a day because his beard grows so quickly

In the army now they give you the boots you need to wear, you would never have to way pay, even the dress boots for parade.

Depends on branch - up until a few years ago the air force capped their heel heights at 2.5", no stilletto heels.

@@tenjou0 Looking at pictures the uniform hasn't changed here in the UK but from what i know it looks like in america too the same style but more modern and navy blue for air force, it's considered more of a casual or ceremonial attire now rather than how it was back in the day where that was what the women were expected to wear because women weren't allowed to be soldiers back then. The heels can be shorter but there still has to be a heel.

@@FlyingMonkies325 I never wore actual heels with my blues. The US Air Force reg only has a heel maximum, and no minimum, so flats it was for me until I found a nice pair of oxfords that weren't plastic ones they issue you. Women were actually issued fatigues for their actual job here in the US, especially if you had to do work in a MASH unit. The US had women piloting, mechanic-ing, and nursing since the 40s (see: the WASPS, women air force service pilots). Even the marines had women doing work in fatigues at the time, Bea Arthur from the golden girls wore them as a truck driver and dispatcher at the tail end of WWII. How often you wear your service uniform depends on your actual job here. I was a jet engine mechanic and I only wore them once or twice a year when someone was either getting an award or when someone fucked up so bad the entire unit had a blues inspection. The ladies in the finance office had to wear them every monday - and only 2 or 3 of them actually wore heels, the rest wore flats or oxfords.

I like the part where you're required to have them for your uniform but also you're the one who's paying for them

@@cam4636This is so you can express your personal in how much you pay.

Especially in military service!

Psst…it’s propaganda. Way to get more people to join the army if they’re all presented as attractive.

Look at the legs of older women, their feet are deformed by a protruding bone, and their toes are shifted to the center and compressed forever, their legs hurt even in orthopedic shoes. These are the consequences of "elegance and beauty".

I used to sell shoes to women who insisted on pointed toe, (and usually a size smaller than what they truly were). The cases of bunions, hammer toe and other deformation of their toes/feet that I saw, was incalculable.

The thing is, our daily footwear doesn't have to be either/or (either uncomfortable, unhealthily-high heels or very casual sneakers). Audrey Hepburn, for example, often wore low-heeled ballet flats and loafers that looked elegant but comfortable.

I could just as easily comment on the too-long hair touching the collar the video.

Now they they are gorilla gleuing their hair down.

@@mireillenadeau2348 The hair can still touch the collar, just not the bottom edge when standing at attention.

You're probably right. Another potential reason is that high heels accentuate the legs and buttocks so we can't be drawing another inch worth of attention to the backsides of the WACs, y'know?

What planet do you people come from?😒

good for them

Probably the three inch heels

If thats how you wanna perceive it 😂

🙄🙄🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

​@@Rosetea405 You perceive it that way as well, judging from your se×ist comment elsewhere in the comment section.

I want to huff whatever you are smoking, sounds like bliss 😂

While men can look like my big toe and never be judged for that in the army, yeah.

⁠@@mimoletafr

i think the problem is that it was expected for every woman, even the ones who didnt want to, while the men could go around looking like a sack of potatoes

@@jliefn Yep and it's especially weird when the army is for defending a country. How is lipstick and moisturizer gonna help with that ? God forbid cyanosis sets in when you die and you're caught looking dead I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

People with curly hair do this all the time lol

@@Kayjillypoo Won't it get greasy?

​@@GuessMyName234Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair.

Hi there! I’m a millenial, and don’t know a lot about the military back then… what kind of work did women do in these positions?

​@@HeatherB81 they were usually on all fours position. 😂

@@SUGAR_XYLER That's both gross and wrong. They worked in secretarial jobs.

@@HeatherB81 Lots of women in the army were nurses or clerks. Some women in the military were air traffic controllers and intelligence officers, although those were rarer.

@@HeatherB81 Positions mainly related to document management, medical service, food and material supply. In many countries where women are allowed to be military or police officers, they do not participate in active actions, but occupy administrative positions.

WWII was before the 1960s, dear

@@cam4636 I'm aware of that. That wasn't my question. I didn't know they had WACs in the 1960s. This film is labelled as beings from the 60s.

They’ve been women in since the early/mid 1940s

lol i agree,

bc they were treated like property so smth had to change? 😭

@@jliefn - Who was treated like property? Women? They had rules and standards for society, but so what? So did men.

@@TodaysDante its a weak argument idek why im arguing abt this but there was js way way more standards for women than for men

@@jliefn - Each had one role that had many tasks assigned to it. Man was the breadwinner and woman was the homemaker. The breadwinner had to provide for the family, the homemaker had to nurture the family. Everything else grew from that. It could be just as overwhelming for a man than a woman.

Omg...I literally was more or less saying the same comment...lol😅😂 I'm so glad someone else would like to bring back some standards and class to our society! Great minds think alike!!👏

@@SnowBall-hz6pu OLD* minds think alike 👴👵

"Acting like a buffoon" she says while acting like a buffoon in her profile picture. Women don't act like buffoons. They act like they want, free to do as they choose in this world. If you can't handle that, go to a musIim country.

Maybe we just want to be people and be comfortable rather than living with made up standards and etiquette that are different in every region around the world. It’s pointless stuff, just do what makes you happy and let others live. That’s the way to be a good person, not taking people down. Nothing about that screams good etiquette.

You realise we're all different and people with curls or dry scalp shouldn't be washing their hair every day ?

you are a woman why are you hating like a man 😭

Ye Gawds forbid someone not fit...a half century old military uniform video. Do the one half inch or two inch plain black leather pumps fit your personality and individuality better? It's bizarre how people will claim they support individuality and freedom until someone freely expresses their individuality.

they were literally property and thats why they had to look elegant? 😭

I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make is. And I'm not just saying that to be a smartass. Just because women have been in the military for a long time doesn't mean dictating the rest of it is okay. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Now on one hand, I'd say that yes, men also have a dress/grooming code to follow, but they're not told they have to wear high heels, either. What's wrong with boots for everyone?

@@veryberry39 For that matter, I'm not sure what they were trying to say with "feminist being upset about language while failing to understand military service." It's usually not feminists who have a problem understanding history or historical context, since feminism requires understanding social sciences
