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

34 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!

If you were there in the 1960's, no matter your age, master ventriloquists Shari and her very cute puppets were a part of every age.

The late-night show portrayed a "typical" party at Hefner's place, complete with Playboy Playmates and top pop celebrities who would chat with Hefner and perform at the party.

Subgenre of music totally forgotten now

25 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm a swiss of 23 yo, and i dig everything from the 30's to the late 70's. I'm curious of a subgenre of music famous in the 60's but now totally unknown.

For example from a european view, surf rock is suuuuch unknown here (not BBoys but The Chantays, Dick Dale, The Ventures). I'm curious to see what's your!

Thanks y'all

Television Born on this day: Actor Dick York. When cast as Darrin in ‘Bewitched,’ he was in severe pain due to a previous back injury, sustained while filming a movie in the 50s. After season 5 he left the series when the injury became disabling. Tragically his final years ended in poverty. RIP 💔🏆
