Be Less Boring

I found a tumblr blog this morning that just shows old pictures of people's parents.  There are pictures of people from the 1980s on back to at least the WWII era.  It's quite interesting to look at them and see how clothing fashions, hair styles, and home decor have changed over the decades.  There is even one picture from the 1960s that shows a couple standing in front of some curtains very similar to some my parents had back then.

Looking over the pictures, there are two things that really caught my attention.  First, those who dressed in the high fashion of the day look really silly now, while those dressed in classic style would fit right in during any time period.   The striped pants, bell bottoms, afros, mullets, spandex jumpsuits, and leisure suits would all stick out like a sore thumb in anyother time period than the far too lengthy periods when those were in fashion, but a nice suit from 1940 is still a nice suit today.  A pair of straight-leg blue jeans with a t-shirt from 1975 still looks normal today.

The second thing that I noticed was that in many of the couples pictures, especially those from the 1960s and 1970s, she is a total babe while he looks like a complete doofus.  How did they end up together?
