This gave me a chuckle. In the 40s you wore a gown to listen to the radio. In the 60s women wore cocktail dresses and men wore suits to party in the basement rec room - I have proof in our photo album!

I was thinking the same thing as Liz. She seems really dressed up just to be listening to the radio - alone. You hope she has some guests coming over or something, otherwise it looks like of pathetic.

Good question... Where is that mirror and what is she looking at?
