Tonight, I go with my daughter to the annual Daddy/Daughter dance with my little girl sponsored by our church, Mandy. She is not so little anymore, as she turns 12 next month. This is the last year I will be attending this dance with her, as the dance is put on for girls age 8-11. It is always a very sweet evening. It usually has a Fifties theme. The fifties is kind of out of fashion in the U.S. right now, and even though it predates me by a couple of decades, I think about that era with fondness. It may be more perceived than real, but it seems to have been a simpler time, and an era of family values and wholesomeness. I'm sure it has many of the same problems as our modern era, and there is an element of innocence encapsulated in that decade.
I was searching for promotional items representing the fifties, and I frankly didn't find much. The sixties, seventies, eighties and even the thirties are a lot higher up in the cultural consciousness right now. I did however find a Compress T in the shape of a jukebox which I thought was kind of fun. I'm not too fond of the stock art, but it could be customized with cooler colors and design.
