I should read the books on my bookshelf more carefully instead of largely browsing the pictures and dipping into the text here and there! Thanks very much for bringing that juicy bit of info to my attention.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-40747528279352477972010-02-07T23:16:53.624-05:002010-02-07T23:16:53.624-05:00Lysdexicuss: yeah it does seem things maybe turnin...Lysdexicuss: yeah it does seem things maybe turning full circle with women starting to change their minds over the whole career versus kids thing. Interesting point.<br /><br />Jacque: I have that book and a few others about the live of air hostesses back in the day. So interesting. They were almost like flying bunny girls at one stage. They looked absolutely gorgeous in those beautiful uniforms though. It must have been a real treat in some respects to fly in the 60s, albeit one dependent on acceptance of the male dominated status quo. Air hostesses in romance comics are my next research project in romance comics.<br /><br />Mykal: She certainly is a very shapely lady on the splash page. I suspect she might be demonstrating the kind of figure the readers could attain if they purchased the new 'Tummy Slim' girdle advertised on the back cover of Career Girl Romances 24!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-71678967063603833992010-02-07T19:22:59.560-05:002010-02-07T19:22:59.560-05:00KB: man, am I lovin' this art!

Charlton at it's best. Dig that splash panel! To describe it - not much. But to <i>see</i> it. Ooohhh, that nicely filled blue dress! You can just feel that big, blonde body underneath. Boy, I wish I cold pin down that artist. <br /><br />Great post and fun reading! -- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-32043911642645058732010-02-06T17:10:20.593-05:002010-02-06T17:10:20.593-05:00I love these air hostess stories... they are great...I love these air hostess stories... they are great reflections of what the industry was like at the time. Most of the early flight attendents were trained as nurses, and had to deal with air-sickness quite frequently due to unpressurized cabins.<br /><br />Good analogy KB about the nurses and doctors, very true. To quote one of the best books I have found out there on the history of flight attendents (Working the Skies by Drew Whitelegg), "Nurses had long experience in deffering to male experts in the form of doctors and therefore, so the theory went, would have no trouble doing so with male pilots."Jacque Nodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14957976421163666671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-92038678878655447782010-02-06T04:45:40.755-05:002010-02-06T04:45:40.755-05:00So, is this how STDs spread worldwide so quickly ?...So, is this how STDs spread worldwide so quickly ? Yuck ! All things being cyclical, I think a Woman today would choose Nick over a career, seeing how so many women in their 40s & 50s regret not having children. But then, I may be a born again chauvinist KB !
