1958 a very good year

It seems that 1958 was the start of lots of things including, Madonna who was born the same year as me and I have to say is wearing better than I am with her taut 20 something body and multi million career. Also Barbie emerged again her body a bit unrealistic but when I was little I never had a Barbie or a Sindy but instead has a Tressy whose hair grew till you cut it and then it didn't grow anymore and she had a strange shape to her skull which made her look like she'd been having brain surgery.
Also 1958 was the start of the Carryon films with all their smutty jokes and double entres which today sound so innocent and the comfort of the regular cast that made them feel almost like family members. I can remember Mum and Dad talking about Sid James as if they were chatting to him only the other day whereas the reality was they never met him.

Our house is also 50 years old so there we are I am in with the in crowd after all!!
