Ok all you oldies I got a question for you because I only know what mom & grandmother told & history books. My DS's junior class wants to have the 1940's as a prom theme. I can't for the life of me think of anything glamourous about it. All I can think of is rationing, hardly any butter, sugar or eggs. Gas rations & shoes. Red Cross rolling badages & mom said they use to knit squares in school to be made into blankets. They called it "Knitten for Britain." So help me ladies. I think the 1930's might have been better. But for the life of me I can't think of anything. Maybe Betty Grable & pinup girls but can't make that into a prom theme. Neither can a USO dance. Help.
