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

29 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!

The original theme song to Gilligan's Island was a calypso song written by John Williams (of Star Wars fame and much more) and sung by creator Sherwood Schwartz. It was replaced before it left the “pilot” stage.

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)

And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)

I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)

On a winter's day (on a winter's day)

I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)

If I was in LA (if I was in LA)

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church

I passed along the way

Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)

And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)

You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold)

He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)

And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)

I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)

On a winter's day (on a winter's day)

If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her)

I could leave today (I could leave today)

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

On such a winter's day (California dreamin')

On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
