A weekly-ish blog sharing my series of collages about growing up in the South during the 1950s.

SADIE HAWKINS DAY DANCE
At last, a chance to be assured of a date even though first choice wasn't always available. Sadie Hawkins Day was originated in "L'il Abner", a comic strip by Al Capp. Girls did the askin' as well as the payin'.
Great collage! I remember Sadie Hawkins Dances in high school where girls asked out the boys. There was a lot of competition and giggling among the girls to see which boys would get asked to the dance. Fun memories!
Ah, that brings back memories! Sadie Hawkins events were pretty popular and well-attended when I was in high school in the late 70s.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize Sadie Hawkins events were popular as late as the 70s. In the 50s, they were more exciting than the prom.

ReplyDeleteI found that old photo and the memories came flooding back. It could probably be referred to as "early art" or "early party pic".
