How to be Pretty - 1940's Guide for High School Girls [Color]
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Ponds beauty consultant Mary Stuyvesant dishes out some home spun advice to a group of high school girls on how to look prettier by simply following some basic rules.
This short video is a color and audio restored broadcast quality edit of an old Ponds promotional film. and edited in context.
Looking pretty, according to Miss Stuyvesant, is not just about dress code, clothes, hairstyle or makeup. Though these are important to any girl. You can see Mary's other detailed tutorials here on our channel via the links on the video. They deal in detail on the subjects of makeup like rouge, lipsticks, eye shadows and the correct hairstyles for face shape.
The first part of this lecture, featured here, is about the basics. A good diet, a healthy sleep, and plenty of exercise.
"Makeup, hair and clothes", says Mary, " are just the trimmings, like the icing on the cake. But if the cake itself isn't good, you'll soon lose interest in the icing".

Sure, but then she immediately changes the girls appearance to be “prettier” instead of asserting it’s more worthwhile to happy and healthy. It does an awful job of hiding how much everything in this time WAS about making women pretty and ready for marriage. It’s ghastly just how much people are watching this and not picking up on that.

@@e.tominstead I wouldn't necessarily agree. It was to show what happens when you do all the things mentioned. Being active and eating healthy makes you slimmer and looking more radiant, wearing the right clothes for your body type and shape can elevate your style and sometimes visually even posture. Often self care and beauty get too mixed up. Someone taking care of themselves and looking well doesn't always mean that they're vain and beauty focused. Simple self care naturally makes you look better.

How interesting that the same treatments for “how to be pretty” are the same remedies for depression . Taking daily showers , getting enough sleep , eating nutritious foods , exercising/being playful outdoors where you get sunshine , getting your tasks done vigorously / being productive . Basically doing things to improve yourself as a whole make you prettier without even trying . Love this video . Girls today should watch it

Okay but the idea they’re providing is that you should do these things to improve your looks. Everything, especially then, for a young lady is centered around her looks so she’ll someday be marriable. These things should be promoted because they can make you happier and stronger. The food portion is also incredibly outdated.

Writing letters is nothing like texting. 🙄 The time gap between replies means people didn't spend all their time doing it. And listening to swing music is the same as listening to any music, nothing like watching brainwashed nutters on tik tok all day. And you might be surprised to learn people still listen to music in 2023, including swing music. So what was their equivalent of Facebook, twitter, Instagram and video gaming or online porn? See, everything IS DIFFERENT.

Plus guys, you have to remember, a lot of these foods WERE really healthier anyway because they didn't have as many preservatives or GMOs in them, while now, pretty much everything does. Our food markets are a bit more commercialized, so even chicken isn't as healthy because they sometimes inject it with saline. Depends where you get it from I guess if we're talking about freshness and quality, but what I'm trying to say is, if you went to the store and got these same meals, it won't be *as* healthy. Ik that's not what y'all are discussing, but it seems worth mentioning that it still may not be "healthy" in today's world.
I really like how this is more about being beautiful by treating yourself right because self-care is so important. A happy mind and body is what makes someone beautiful in my opinion. Not cosmetics, fashionable clothes, etc., but how you feel. Of course, if makeup and fashionable clothes can make you feel good great, but it's very important to feel good even without those embellishments. This applies to everyone regardless on personal beliefs, gender, whether you dress more masculine or feminine, etc..

This is the type of influence we need in this world. When I began watching this woman and her advice its like everything got quiet because she's speaking a lot of truth. I wish young girls knew the severity of good health, and I wish I did too. The way I treated my body was a reflection of how I saw myself.
I like the idea that you can do daily tasks like cleaning, dusting, walking up stairs but with proper form instead of slouching. I do a lot of housework and don't get the chance to leave the house so this genuinely seems helpful.

I love how she just talks about self care. It’s so nice that she’s educating those girls not just on “Run a couple laps and eat your veggies”, but more like “Make sure to think about what your eating, and spend plenty of time playing outdoors”
I just turned 20 years old. This advice +school advice helped me realize my laziness. I’ve gained weight and I still have it. I truly want to have fun, even if it’s by myself to lose weight. (I don’t have a lot of friends or my boyfriend who wants to go out n do fun things) I eat well, I love better. Girls, you are worth so much love😲

I think this video is so sad. We DO worry too much about how we look. We have all been told (like in this video, approximately 70 years ago) that being beautiful is something that we should strive for. We think that being pretty makes us confident and feel good, and especially that it will make people like us more. In reality we get anxious about our looks and our confidence is shattered to peaces. We start to think that we are not pretty enough, like she says in the video: you can always be prettier. That is so sad. If we just abandoned the idea that being beautiful is important in any way, we would be so much happier. We would see that there is so much more to us and our personalities than the way we look.

@@noone3188 Perfectionism is an issue all on its own, it applies to everything. Why try to be highly academically achieving? You can always do better. You'll never get 100% will you? So don't bother at all eh? Applying your logic sounds preposterous. Many people bother with looks because we're social animals. And it truly does give great confidence. To know that you aren't a stinky, rag wearing pathetic little thing, is good. Of course I'm not saying that the obsession with plastering on makeup, or fast fashion, or most things caused by social media are any good. But generally to be well kempt, proffessional when need be, beautiful or handsome when need be, and so on, is incredibly important to healthy self image and social standing, relationships with others be try romantic, work, friendly etc. As for physical appearance for intimate relationships. Without sexual attraction it doesn't quite work does it? Sexual attraction is really about the body and its presentation. The other side of intimate attraction, to a person, also requires physical appearance to be well kept not because society culture mumbo jumbo. But because we naturally seek out those that have it together. If one looks shabby, unkempt etc, they obviously don't have it together. Physical appearances aren't just some useless social construct, they can tell you about a person. What I'm saying is the physical is an extension of the psychological. You're evidently utterly in love with the idea of personality, well the way someone looks tells you a lot about them
