“You are free to select any pair of PLAIN, HIGH HEELED BLACK LEATHER PUMPS that suits your fancy and expresses your individuality.”
😂🤣😂
@@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
Those black pumps were all so different. So many options for showing your individuality!
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 🤣
Ah yes ladies, I know you work for the military but you MUST WEAR HEELS DON’T ASK WHY
Ugh
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”.
@@jamiegdubois Part of a uniform. I was allowed to wear heels with my Dress Uniform and my Class B's. I preferred wearing pants with my Class B's and mostly wore my issued flats. Your Dress Uniform is still a uniform and we must all look relatively the same - not like civilians.
you are free to select any pair of plain, closed toe and heel, is at least one and a half inches high but not more than three inches high,
black leather pumps that suit your fancy and expressing your individuality.
As an Army veteran who served more recently, it was cool seeing what has changed and what hasn't. Thanks for these videos!
Everything looks so different from today, except for the eyelash curler she clearly got from the Target in my town.
Thanks for your service, ladies!
Flat shoes are thankfully now seen as fine to wear with an evening dress! And they were in the 19th century too. Things change. I never wear heels.
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.
The historical beauty guides are so interesting Glamourdaze, learn so much! I hope you have many more to show...gotta love that restoration as well ❤💯
I was in the Air Force in the 80’s. To me, this is hilarious. Also makeup? That would’ve been messy under a gas mask during a TAC Eval. I liked my combat boots and kept them for years afterward. But yes, some of these standards were still in place.
A young lady i know in the army national guard was scolded for "coloring or adding highlights" to her hair - she has a gorgeous streak of auburn in her beautiful black hair - she couldn't convince them that it is natural so she has had to dye it black to cover it up!
The colorization of your presentation is absolutely beyond amazing. Vivid colors throughout including natural skin tones. Wow! I am impressed. What those poor women had to do to be considered acceptable. Of course, all of these rules were developed and enforced by men...LOL...and be sure your heels are no more than 3" tall.
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 RUclips or TikTok you complain they're doing it wrong
We’re so different now. They’d probably say “no jeweled stiletto nails!” 😂 As a kid in the early 80s, shoe stores still looked like that and there was a person that measured your feet. Anyone remember Kinney Shoe stores?
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
OMG I just thought of something. Is anyone old enough to have read the Sweet Valley High/Twins book series? Elizabeth and Jessica's mother was a WAC! And Jessica would call her a whacko 😂
Yes, I read them, but I don't remember that detail 😂
Remember the days of shoe salesmen? My grandmother took me to Macy’s to buy shoes for my communion, and while she was looking at the shoe rack, the salesman who was supposed to check my shoe size sniffed my toes. Just got my poor little seven-year-old piggies right up to his nose and sniffed. My grandma and this little old lady beat the tar out of him! 😂😂😂 The old lady whacked him so hard in the head he fell over, and my grandmother nailed him in the ribs with her tastefull black pumps! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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!
I really enjoyed watching this thank you! ❤
The “complicated makeup” killed me. That’s complicated?!
Yes. She coloured her brows, did eyeliner, powder, and lipstick.
And men, you may pick any pair of army-issue boots that express your personality.
There’s something so comforting and nostalgic about these videos 🥰
I’ve been brushing my teeth the wrong way all these years
am i the only one who finds it funny that the voice in background had a rather long list of things a proper shoe shouldn't have and then says she can pick whatever shoe she likes from the two remaining pairs that meet her criteria?
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?
Beautiful job on restoring this video! ❤
Wonderful.😊
My sons fathers grandmother served in the airforce her entire life. Blessed for that woman and my sons father
These days military women apply tasteful camo makeup before going into combat.
I'm curious if the guys version of the grooming video also told them to do touch ups on their apperences throughout the day.
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
The Army is absolutely _DELIGHTFUL!_
❤😜❤
Wow
why is this so calming bro, i feel like i could fall asleep to this
I can think of a few things that look worse than chipped nail polish. Lol😅
Especially in military service!
A pair of good sturdy leather pumps goes for at least $60 nowadays. And three inches is pretty comfortable bit Im surprised the military allows that.
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.
@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.
You are free to buy and plain, high-heeled, black pumps that express your personality. lol
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.
damn grooming standards took a whole other level....
I'm just listening/watching this while eating when I hear "Wearing a lot of makeup with a wack uniform is bad taste." and I choked.
Sharp and ready to serve.
The smooth turn at the beginning tho
So charming. Good taste, a hint of glamor... and no tattoos.
Brilliant! Cheers...
People in the comments clearly don't understand what the point of a UNIFORM is. It's the military, not a catwalk.
"You will not have time to put on a complicated makeup like that every day" I could do that in five minutes 💀
"Wearing a lot of makeup with WAC uniform is in bad taste."
I HEARD IT AS "WACK" AND I WENT "Couldn't agree more." Help 😂
❤❤😊😊
I love vintage I really do. I like doing my hair like that it's pretty cool too. And I love makeup too it makes me look flawless. I love the way you do
, It makes me happy. I love hair and makeup too. I love your ideas.💮🌸🦄
The ladies in Army Women from the 1960s were all beautiful
Psst…it’s propaganda. Way to get more people to join the army if they’re all presented as attractive.
It strange that some of these tips actually work in todays society.
Between 1.5 and 3 inches high OH THE LEEWAY
I don’t know how people can fit their feet in pointy shoes and also walk every day for hours in heels! Even a small thin heel like that! My feet would get deformed and I would be in pain! The shoes look good but that’s about it. Good for poor womens feet that sneakers are trendy now and get to wear boots in the army. Well I love old movies and they looked elegant at least!
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 can imagine today's narrator saying: "Your neck tattoo shouldn't exceed four inches length, two inches width. And no devils or serpents. That would be in poor taste."
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.
Following the natural line of the lip, I wish in the makeover videos they did that. I've seen where they're doing a rounded top lip. It doesn't look right
Y realmente les alcanzaba el tiempo para hacer todo eso? Si es así yo también quiero
For army girls only. Look at how modest the beauty routine and kit is. Pumps cause ugly distortion of the toes, and bunions.
she looks like jodie comer!
😂😂i did not know they knew that much about hygeine back in the day
I enlisted in 2000 and the rules were the same.
" No more than 3 inch heels," i get it, and it's reasonable. But i also can't help but think It's so not to emasculate the more shorter enlisted men 😂😂 but who knows, I could be wrong.
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?😒
This reminds me of when I was in the Navy. I was the clean girl that slept in the same berthing with other nasty 🤮 people.
Ah yes, gotta make sure you look pretty and wear your high heels when doing jumping jacks and crawling through the mud 😂
One and a half inches high… in the army… aaaaaaggggghhhh
i am laughing!
3 inch heels are regulation? Who knew?
Talk about mind control
Those were the old good days... not better will be after the population explosion of 2020 years !
Man, why don't nail polish applicators look like that anymore? If they did, then maybe my nail polish wouldn't look like chickenscratch
Now the men are wearing stilettos.
good for them
I rolled my eyes so much they went into the back of my head.
I wonder what life would be like if beauty was still held to an expectation everyday. Where nobody went out anywhere without looking put together.
I might sounds stupid asking this but what was the point of women in the military those days. Like what did they actually do? You never seen them in combat back then. Not like today.
In reality, as a woman this doesn't look too bad, they let women wear makeup, (an appropriate amount) and they encourage them to take care of themselves while being modest and hard working. v
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 🤷🏼♀️
I love the few black people that they threw in there to say it was diverse
Oh how our military has fallen
Probably the three inch heels
What a beautiful time and people; gone forever
The question asked in the military today is, Tuck or un-Tucked!
US then and US today are two different countries.
It's an old story: In a society with dominantly heteronormative views, women are told to be sexy, but not too sexy, so that certain men aren't scared of them.
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 😂
This was the early 1960s,i believe too bad that word "sexy" wasn't really as acceptable word to use at the time.Also,they said not too much makeup because it was considered gaudy to wear too much i suppose a natural makeup look was prefered.
🤭🤭
😂😂
Imagine only washing your hair once a week!
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.
it seems like a lot of work just to conform to someone else's standard of beauty.........the 50' and 60's when women were treated as "property". Thank goodness we have come a long way since this
I keep waiting for her to give us the finger an punch the camera.😊
Nowadays, the military style would be about men dressing up like women.
They had WACs in the 1960s? I thought they were from WWII.
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.
Wash your hair once a month!
Now go to Vietnam
there were women in the military in the 60's?
They’ve been women in since the early/mid 1940s
Beautiful! No crappy blue hair or unkempt looks. Modesty was the key and how one carried themselves was important and etiquette was taught so that women dont go around acting like a buffoon like so many modern women nowadays.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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.
Them's not pumps, them's heels.
I thought it was going to turn into an adult film, for the laughs.
How did we go from this to ... "What's a woman?"
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.
Is it just me, or is this narrator cattier than most in these vintage videos?
I'm sorry, but this video is not from 1964, it's from the late 50's to 1960.
I think that it's crazy ever expect women to wear stupid shoes like that .
Those were the 40s ffs.
Did you read the description
At LEAST once a week? That's gross wtf
You realise we're all different and people with curls or dry scalp shouldn't be washing their hair every day ?
All very boring 😅
Women were more beautiful back then.
you are a woman why are you hating like a man 😭
I can just see some feminist being upset about language or certain suggestions in this video, an the whole time failing to notice, realize and acknowledge that women have been in the military long before they were even born.
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
If only time travel was possible....lol...i clicked on this video...right before it plays an ad for glasses featuring a middle aged woman with pink hair, a bull nose ring, and guady looking make up....yikes🙄
Is it too much trouble for women to look classy and elegant anymore!! These videos should be mandatory in schools. Let's bring back some normalcy please!!!!
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? 😭
My Mom probably watched this instructional movie. She was in the Army from '59 to '63, when they let her go to have a baby, Me. so I was probably serving in the military before I was born. 🪖👶🤔
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.
