Moderator Announcement: New Rule Alert: Posts containing an image of a female celebrity must have additional context included for approval

35 Upvotes

This subreddit was started so we could all come together and post images, videos, articles, and other sorts of media to celebrate the rich world that was the 1960s. It's exciting to see how many people have joined in the last year, and we welcome everyone to participate in the original vision of this community.

However this sub has been overwhelmed with low effort posts of glamor shots or publicity stills of female celebrities with absolutely no context as to the year of the image, why it was taken (e.g. what movie this was promoting), the location, or anything.

We have had many, many complaints about the direction this sub has taken since this activity started to kick up.

Going forward, images of famous women from the 1960s continue to be allowed as long as they are very safe for work, but the details behind the image are now a requirement.

Moderator Announcement!

Welcome to the 60’s! After being abandoned for quite some time now, I am going to be moderating the sub! Things have gone off the rails with obvious karma farming and other things. I along with possible other additional moderators to be added will try to slowly help reign in the sub and give it some much needed care.

Some of the rules have been revamped, so please familiarize yourself with them. Important ones of note are that this is a 1960’s sub. That means 1960-1969. Many posts are from the 70’s and 80’s. Just to clarify Wonder Woman and Charlie’s Angels and Three’s Company were 70’s shows! Also many reposts clog the sub (example: Lynda Carter and Elizabeth Montgomery.) and seem to turn the sub into a T and A sub.

The 60’s was more than just hot women, and believe me I appreciate that! But it would be nice to see other 1960’s related content like pop culture, movies, art, fashion, music etc. So some variety in posts would be awesome to see!

Please share your thoughts and views. We are a community after all! And remember everything is still a work in progress!

🎃🐈‍⬛👻🧙‍♀️Every Halloween these candles came out of storage. We never lit them but they were part of the holiday magic! Some of us had moms or grandmas that displayed these candles, really nice memories… Some of us displayed them ourselves. Mine were left to me by my mom and I put them out every year. I thought they were really cute and fun.

Both Hanna and Barbara later regretted producing these commercials. They didn't forsee Flinstones becoming a series that mostly targeted children.

Sebastian Cabot as Mr. Giles French, Anissa Jones as Buffy, and Johnny Whitaker as Jody. I like to think back to the shows we watched as kids. Some of my best memories are from childhood and my teenage years, and television series played a big part in our culture. Sitting around the family room with family and friends, watching our favorite weekly shows was a lot of fun and created some good memories.

Everyday life Happy Monday! Anyone else love how upbeat "Monday, Monday" sounds despite the lyrics?

5 Upvotes

Monday, Monday, can't trust that day.

Monday can be a drag, but this 1966 classic by The Mamas & the Papas is way too upbeat to stay down for long! It became their only #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, and that vocal harmony still hits just right 60 years later.

Hope everyone in r/1960s has a great week ahead!
