The Music of a Generation . . .
Our guided tour continues with Retro
Gypsy at a 1950's style American Halloween sock hop. Rock and Roll came on the
American scene like a storm in the early 1950's. Television shows
such as American Bandstand propelled the music into the
hearts and souls of the youths of America. The 50's generation
claimed the music as their own where it evolved into high school
sock hops, cruising and late night slumber parties. American Rock
and Roll idols such as Elvis Presley became a phenomenon
whose legend still
lives on today. The music has changed, but the message is still much
the same with heart-wrenching songs of love lost and youthful
rebellion against the generation before them.
The Poodle Skirt, A Fabulous 50's Icon . . .
Young American ladies of the fifties era made
popular a unique fashion...the pink Poodle skirt! Dressed in her
signature pink poodle skirt and little white sweater Gypsy
the red Chihuahua is everybody's sweetheart at her high school
Halloween sock
hop. So put on some of your favorite oldies tunes and bop to those
rock and roll hits for a blast from the past!

A Sweeter, Simpler Time . . .
Sock hops, cruising, and
weekends at the local drive-in theater are reminiscent of a sweeter,
simpler time. Movies weren't rated back then. Classics such as Rebel Without A Cause and
On The Waterfront reflected the
eternal struggle between youth and authority.
Remembering With Fondness . . .
Yes, Gypsy's Mommy is old enough to remember
The Fabulous 50's. She created this nostalgic 1950's
page for all of you who can remember those times as well, and especially for those
who can't. "Camelot" was born in the
Fabulous 50's and grew up in the tumultuous free spirited youth of
the 60's. We hope you've
enjoyed our short trip down memory lane. If you enjoyed Gypsy's
retro page please
leave a note in our guest book and tell us about your favorite
1950's memories. We'd love to hear them!
