I think all that "blah blah blah" at the beginning gives great insight into why you have such a warm and kind-hearted presence. It must be such a blessing to not only have been raised to be open to everyone but to have a father who grew up that way.
As someone who’s only 20 years old, I really love the older fashion and music from this time
Glad you enjoy it!
Jeannie is one of the most amazing person that i’ve known for ASMR videos , she is just lovely and thank you for being you ♥️♥️♥️so appreciating
@@takwikhajoyan3702 💖♥️💖
I wish I was there with you because I'm just as excited as you are ...I love anything from the 50s back ..I would love to see 40s&30s just all of it ..thank you so much ..I'm so excited!!!❤️❤️🥰🥰
Please don’t ever run out of old magazines! 😊
I love all your videos, but your flip- throughs and commentary of any era before the 80’s is relaxation gold. ❤️
Oh thank you! I appreciate that!
Yes, bring back these fashions and the quality!!! 1000+ pages in a catalog!!! Oh the joy!!! Thank you Jeannie!
Yes! Except the girdles!!! Lol!
Thank you! 😊
I love the loud crinkly pages, so relaxing!
Glad you like them! ♥️
No need to apologize for the loud crinkly pages, Jeannie! I enjoyed them 😊
I'm so glad!
Omg same! Crazy tingles every time!
I’m relatively new here, but I adore the vintage magazine flip through videos!
Welcome!! And thank you so much!😊
Wow, those coats were EXPENSIVE! $200 in 1959 is about $2,000 in today’s dollars. I wonder how many people were actually able to afford coats like this! But cost aside, another wonderful video, your retro magazine reviews are truly the best.
Wow! That IS expensive! 😳 Thank you for this!
New to your channel, nobody does these retro magazines read through like you. So happy to have found you! Also…I too have the bendy double jointed thumbs, so I understand what you go through. 😂 People get so freaked out!
Welcome aboard! And I’m glad to have another freaky thumb club member!! Lol!!
Same here!
LOVE❤ the crinkly pages. I'm almost in an ssmr coma!🥱😴
Don’t worry about the loud page crinkles, because I think most of us love to hear that!
Yes! 💯💯
Excellent thank you
Really amazing 🙌
A note on the "haute couture" aspect of the apparel at the beginning of your "coats" segment: After the untimely death of Dior in Paris, his protégé (Yves St Laurent) was named the new head of the fashion house. What you are seeing here - is St Laurent's international influence of his immensely successful debut collection focused on the "A-Line" cuts, which he appropriately entitled "La Trapeze". Editorial at that time heaped praise on the new designer, waxing poetic with words such as: "St Laurent has saved Paris".
I love factoids like this!! Thank you so much!
I cannot believe how YOUNG Dior was when he died ! Did he smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day ?
@@LannieLord It's a stressful business. He had a heart attack. Most everyone smoked in those days, yet didn't always die from cigarettes. Today, heart attacks suddenly seem to be quite common post-covid in non-smokers, especially with very young and fit, healthy athletes. I find that a more curious phenomenon.
@@c3cubedhonestly everything we eat now has bad ingredients for our health, nothing is natural honestly...I'm really lucky to have a garden and natural food that my mom my dad and my grandma planted😊
clothing back then was truly stunning
I agree!! 👗
Were those dresses called bubble dresses with the rounded hemlines? I had one!!!
@@susanseligmann6033 Good question! I don’t know. 🤪
This catalog is insane! when you arrived to the dog section, haha! I'm listening to this while working and I had to stop and see how it all looked because it sounded insane. Thank you so much for these types of videos! I was born in the 80s, so I never had access to anything from this time. This is fascinating!!
Awesome! Thank you! And yes...the dog ads got me by total surprise, too! Wow!
I would KILL for one of those pastel bathroom sets at 56:06. This was amazing!
every time i see you’ve made a new video it’s such a blessing, thank you jeannie for being a ray of sunshine in this world 🥰🤍
Wow, thank you!
I’ve watched this at least five times. I love the sound of the pages I’m looking at blasts from the past.
I also love a thirsty towel. A big, thirsty towel! You can keep those soft ones. Not for me.😉
Glad you enjoyed it! And I totally agree on those towels! 😄 🛁
You're treating us with all the uploads lately! ❤
Thank's for gorgeus video!💐
What an amazing time travel! ❤
You are such a classy lady.
Omgosh I still have furniture from Montgomery Ward. I inherited it from my parents. It's well over 60 years old. I miss when things were were well built!
That’s so awesome! Great quality!
Elegance long gone.....a lot,of these designs you could wear today, classic shapes are always in vogue.❤🇬🇧 Cheers Jeannie
OMG what a treasure! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely love retro fashion! That is a really nice catalog Jeannie! Hope you’re well today by the way 😊
Thank you! 😊
@@JeannieBASMR You’re Welcome 😊🩷
Looking stunning in this one Jeannie. Thanks for the relaxing vibes before bed :)
You’re welcome 😊!!
Nothing was as gorgeous or classic as the women's clothing of the 40s and 50s. It amazed me that most of the shoes could be worn fashionably today. All the girdles reminded me of my grandmother (born in '21) who wore one every day of her life. And the memories of my mother's (born in '49) vast slip collection. We are much more comfortable but often makes me wonder if we have left some glamour behind along the way.
I totally agree! I love my shorts and t-shirts…but a pretty cotton dress would be easy as well…(I think.) 😁
I was one of those mothers and still have a vast slip collection for some strange reason. I just couldn’t toss them. Thx so much for making me smile❤
I absolutely love this!!!! Love everything you said Jeannie!! Just so very true!! Beautiful stories and memories you’ve had. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your amazing asmr videos you share. They’re so incredibly relaxing, entertaining, enjoyable and informative!!! God Bless to you and to everyone on here!!!
Thank you so much, Kira! This means a lot! 😊
I totally remember Montgomery Ward lol!😆
“Oh the clammyness!” “And bullet bras” (shooting sound effects) - I haven’t laughed so hard watching ASMR ever. You are a treasure!
Right? Can you imagine wearing that nowadays?! I melt thinking about it! 😁
This was my mother’s era and honestly I have no words for that magazine lol
It’s incredible!! Lol!
My dad was born in 1958. He would love to see this, I’m sure. ❤
I love this! My grandmothers were in their late teens/early twenties in '58/'59 and my parents were both born in '58 and '59. It's interesting to see the type of clothes they might have worn around that time! 😍
I found you about a month ago and you are so amazing! Your voice is so soothing. I love when you do these videos with vintage magazines/catalogs.
Oh thank you! And I just love your name!! 🐻
Hi Jeannie! I used to shop there as a child with my grandma in San Diego. We were so sad when they closed. Sweet memory lane. Thanks and glad you made the move safely 🎉💜
Thanks for sharing!!
This was amazing! Hands down THE best ASMR channel I've come across in a long time. So much better than people making mouth sounds into a mic! The 50s and 60s were epic. So many of these styles are coming back! I love seeing this time period...I also think it would be really interesting to see a magazine or catalog from the 1900s-1930s if you ever come across one. Keep up the amazing work!
Wow, thank you! (Someone else said it was boring and monotonous! Lol! Thankfully the good comments outweigh the bad!) I will look for the earliest mags!! Great idea. I did do a late 30s or early 40s a while back...
I love these long videos! Also, a huge thank you for continuing to upload even when going through a hectic time! 😊
Glad you like them! And thank YOU!
Gosh i want these clothes😱. Fashion was way better than today. And the models...well they are georgeus😳
I adore you! You are gorgeous as ever, and I’m glad you are well!
Thank you so much!!
Haha!! Jeannie's going through a magazine named Montgomery!! Lmaooooo
I'm all for peace and harmony, but... well.... you'll see the video circling around the internet today. Thank you for this video Jeannie. After a day full of laughter, it's nice to just kick back and relax to your voice. And the story about your Dad and his friend, I loved. It just goes to show how life comes around full-circle. Have a great week hun!
Hello, luv. I’m glad you enjoyed - (not sure about the other video you’re talking about.) Yes, I loved the stories my dad used to tell me about all the trouble he and his friend used to get into. Their poor moms! They drove them crazy! 😘
Just for context, $200 in 1958 is equal to $2100 in today's money (adjusted for inflation). So basically add a 0 on the end of the prices (7.98 would be 70.98). As for photo retouching, in the pre photoshop days it was a mixture of lighting, makeup and actually retouching the negative before printing. As an amateur photographer it's really fascinating to see. This catalog and walkthrough was really cool as always
Yey!!! I loved Montgomery Ward in Santa Ana, Ca!!! My mom used to take us there to go shopping for our school clothes. Aww, what memories. Thank you for sharing and taking me back to my childhood years in the late 70s. 🥲
Aw, glad you enjoyed!
I love the mid to late '50s fashions! Born in '57 :) I also like to dress vintage and make my own dresses
Love that!🥰
Wait how did I not realize you made 100k???? Congrats lady!
😘
Ooo, this pre-dates me! Love it!
Me too!!
My family is from the Bay as well. Newark for my dad, Fremont and Union City for my mom. They were more connected to a lot of the issues being a middle class pair of Black families but the Bay was always diverse. One of the enduring things I live about it (I was born in Oakland) is how folks just interact. You find a way to meet people where they’re at. I have Filipino, Jewish, white, Samoan and Mexican friends along with my Black ones. It was never a thing.
100%! The Bay Area just had everyone! The best thing about all the ethnicities was the amazing FOODS I got to eat at all my friends’ houses! Lol!
Jeannie the thing about you is that in front of the camera you are a complete natural. You can tell your personality is exactly the same whether you’re talking to us or the supermarket assistant. Genuine through and through xx
Nice and relaxed and then, what?? New Holland, PA! That's near where I grew up! I'm so curious!
Another great video, Jeannie - thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it! That’s so cool to hear your town shouted out! 😋
Thanks Jeannie for another amazing video!! Your catalog ASMR videos are just wonderful!! And the longer the catalog is, the better! So we get more crinkly pages and soothing words! Greetings from a fan in Chile 🇨🇱😘
Thank you so much!
Lately I haven’t even been able to retain any information from your videos, I fall asleep immediately!!! Trying to catch up now, on my day off. Hopefully I can stay awake!
That’s a great problem to have!! 😁
@@JeannieBASMRHaha! I totally knocked out after 4 mins or so. Back for another attempt ❤
My mom was born in 1947. Right after the war. They are polish. She adopted me when she was 50 in 95. I recently found an old photo album of hers. Was interesting seeing her and her people and their fashion throughout the years. Didn’t appreciate the outfits she put me in from her children in the 70s. But she said I was styling and that “all these clothes would make a come back” 😂
I have two of my late nanas vintage coats and one of them is a Rothmoor that she bought at Phifers of Arkansas (which later became Dillards) She kept them for decades and since she and I had/have a very similar body frame, they fit me.
The world would be a better place if more pages crinkled like this 🤤😅
I agree!!
So crinkly 😁 I love time-traveling with you! I Just got home from a 4 day vacation. Time to relax and drift off before work tomorrow. Thanks Jeannie.
Perfect! Enjoy, luv!
i have a barbie from a montgomery ward catalog!
def not from this era more like 70s lol
The one memory that I have as a kid in the 1970's that stands out regarding the Vietnam war was when I would listen to the radio and hear about the violent 'guerillas' attacking a village. I was confused because the gorillas that I saw in the zoo were very interesting and amusing. We were not exposed to all the horrors that the kids today are. It was a fun and carefree time to be a child. We had freedoms that are long gone.
Wow - I remember thinking the same thing! Guerilla Warfare - I remember thinking, “why are guerillas turning on each other?!”😂
I feel like now is so different. I wish I grew up in those times when no one cared or worried.
Yes - it was a very precious time. ♥️ I hope I can share that good feeling with you.
Jeannie, you are fab, just adore your content!
I was raised in San Jose in the 80’s and lived over by the Winchester mystery house across the street from the Century Theatres on Spar Ave. My Mom worked at a Mexican food restaurant called El Mesquite and her name was Jeanie:) She passed in 2010 but, and I hope it’s not odd to say, but you remind me of her in some ways. Your videos are very relaxing! Thanks for making them and all the best!
I remember Winchester Mystery House! I didn’t go there until my 20s! Loved the Century Theaters! 20-25, right?
Thank you for sharing this - especially about your mom. 💖💖💖
@@JeannieBASMR yeah the theatres that were right next to me were 21, 22 and 23 I believe but it’s been a long time haha. I remember when Batman first come out (with Michael Keaton) the line for that movie was so long that it started making its way down my street! That and the movie “Ghost” were the two longest lines I can remember seeing at any movie. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to reply Jeanie:) Take care!
@@JeannieBASMR whoops, I meant Jeannie:)
HEY JEANNIE CONGRATS ON 100k
Thank you so much 😀
Yay! I’m so excited to watch this 😊 your magazine/catalog flip throughs are THE BEST. I love your gentle observations 💝
Thanks so much! 😊
Amazing video! I love the retro magazines.❤
And although it might not be right for an ASMR channel I would love to hear that mean Amazing Grace on harmonica.😂
Ha! Can you imagine?? "Hello, this is Jeannie...how are you?" Then "WAAAAAA....!!!" Lol! I know I still have my old harmonica packed up somewhere. I hope I find it. I'll give it a practice!
Jeanie, your warmness and love always shines through every video. Thank you for the great ASMR. 🙌🏼
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for this!
Gosh this is so cool. 1958 is when my mom was born, and I love seeing the fashion that ladies were wearing in that time period. My mom's mom was in her 20's then and my my dad's mom was in her early 30s. Seeing this makes me feel more conencted to them. The coats were so beautiful! The princess cut one with the little tuck in the back? To die for! And the maternity styles! Wow.
I love these styles, too!! So refined!
A Long ( smiles)😊Blah Blah 😒 Blah Jeannie b 💤Pure Happi Flip Thru 😊😴💤😴Very Fond Memories 💯Well Done🌹💤💤💤🙏
You're so kind, my dear friend!
Wow! It was such a trip into history. And if you Imagine that $1 in 1950 is worth $12.66 today! It was not cheap. I miss waiting for the catalogs. Here in Germany we had Otto, Quelle and Neckermann as the big three. One of them alone had a weight you could do work outs with 😂
Yeah… some things were better back then 😮💨
Thanks for this perfect video ❤
Oh and btw: you look amazing!!!
Aw, thank you so much!
You have a Lovely open heart ❤️.
Where all gods people.
and that 50s style is so feminine. Beautifu elegant length on skirts ...
Anna Kendrick was a example in Mad Men tv series .
Sadly the women nowadays 2024 couldn't Fit into those skirts ....
To Big
To rotund .
😊
Please keep making these magazine/catalog videos! I love them so much. Thank you!
Do you all think there were more selections for women back then? Or maybe I’m just getting older at 52 and I feel like I can’t find clothes for my age? I’m stuck in between ages! Lol 😂. I really enjoyed this!
I think so! They had so many different kinds of dresses and slacks. I know how you feel.
I would like to Thank you not only for your exceptional content but also for the times that you reminisce about your youth. In my opinion, the age of innocence died with the introduction of the internet to the masses. There was definitely an advantage to having only 5 television channels and HBO. Too much information at your fingertips kind of steals the simplicity and enjoyment of youth. I often leave my cell phone at home when I go to the grocery store, kind of like my own personal time machine back to the landline days... aka Freedom from technology.
Yes! Everything you said! I like the idea of leaving the phone behind while out at the store.
MW was just an amazing store!!❤❤❤
For some reason I misread the title and I thought you were a model in the 50’s then realized you were probably only a preteen back then lol
Amazon is the new Wards, Sears and Penney catalogs. And lots of times you will get it the next day! But, I must admit, not as much fun as leafing through a “real” catalog! Joy S from Northern Indiana
You are right about Amazon! And yes, I miss those catalogs, too. 😊
Hello You Wonderful, Beautiful gentle lady X
Most calming and soothing voice, Personality and asmr Xxxxxxxxxxx
We Need You.
❤
Wow, thank you!!!
@@JeannieBASMRadore YOU!!!!!!!💖
Thank you for sharing Jeannie 🤗! I have to say, I’ve been a subscriber now for 6 months I’d say, & I just want you to know how much I enjoy coming on this app & having a video like yours to be able to look forward to. You have helped me not only in the asmr aspect, but also just to take a good look at life & to remind myself of the fonder memories that I have when things have gotten tough. And I thank you for that. You may not know how amazing you are, but I wanted to be one of the many to remind you that you are. This world has truly been blessed by having you be one of its many gifts by sharing your wisdom & passions with us. I thank you again, & may God bless you & your beautiful family 🤍!
I am going to carry this comment with me for the rest of the week. Thank you so much. Your words are so touching. 💖💖💖💖
If I were a dictator, I would make every woman in the country dress like the one in that catalog. The fashion police would walk the streets and monitor the observance of cuts and styles. "Sorry ma'am, you must come with us"
Haha!! Fashion police! I love it!
Did they have 3X back then ?
I need to know is that your
House in the background? It’s beautiful! If it’s virtual background how do you get it so real looking??
Just a green screen done through iMovie. My house is in chaos right now!
*Jeannie intro across the screen*
Me: yay so excited about this retro magazine series!
Jeannie: “Hello… it’s Jeannie 😊, How are you?? I hope you’re we-“
Me: 😴😴😴😴
6 hours later- damnit! 😂
Aw, I love that!! 😁
I'm happy I stumbled upon this channel and subscribed 😊
Your magazine reading brings back happy memories of my grandmother and myself reading tabloid magaines in her trailer late at night. You radiate the same warmth and kindness as her.
It would be interesting to look back on older Avon magazines - my mom was a rep in the early 80s, and I know that a long time ago they used to have their perfumes stored in the coolest looking bottles!
Welcome aboard! And guess what?? I just got some old Avon books! That’ll be coming up very soon! ♥️♥️♥️
This was absolutely awesome! I love it when you look through old catalogs and magazines, and find myself gasping with excitement right along with you! Please do as many of these as possible. You are my new favorite TH-camr!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
Just watching it now... you're amazing and i wonder if you would ever get a blue yeti microphone and whisper as ❤ wow that would enhance your voice...
I listen at 0.75 speed as i like slow xx
Maybe one day! I’ve been thinking about a yeti
There is a woman here on TH-cam whose channel is called Sage Lilleyman and she lives her life wearing 1950s & 60s clothing and her home is decorated retro. Maybe she has some information on where to get the clothing?
Notice the Choice.
Notice the ladies physique .
Go to walmart whole green targett , McDonald's, to any 24/7 store .....
Look at the shape of people.
Ultra proceed foods
I’m very jealous of those dresses! I would totally send in for them! Jeannie, if you start a dress line with these examples, I’m there! 😊
Oh gee….I’d love to!!! Wish I knew how!
Back before Montgomery was dropped like Roebuck! When they went to glossy pages it almost caused a revolt because so many folks used them for TP. 😂 Rolled toilet paper was only for fancy company like the preacher.
🤣🤣🤣
I Had Spring And Summer Final Chapter 1993 Sears Big Book Catalog Farewell So Bring Back Memories
😂 That catalogue is the length of a Harry Potter novel. 😂😂😂
loved this. didn't realize it was 1h long. thank you! 🌠🌈❤
I would love to see you go through coupon ads!! Amalzd has a few of those videos, so relaxing. Thank you for your videos!!
The crinkles were so enjoyable! No need to stress about time, we love your long videos. The part about buying a dog made me giggle too.
Thank you so much!
Hello Jeannie 🤗🤗 I Love going back in time with You 😊😊 My sister Mary was born in 1959🥰🥰🥰🥰 The coats are super lovely 🤩 can You imagine if we could order from this catalog 😊😊
And we survived those car seat! 🤣
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Bullet bras!🤣🤣
Right?? Yikes! (No hugging! Lol!)
I’m havin a fit over here, because I LOVE the style in the fifties! And I am only 43
Your voice sort of crackles and it feels so good. To be even greater, could you try to read book chapters? Yay!🎉
Never apologized for the page crinkles! That’s what I come for! 😊
Yay! Thank you!
Jeannie each time your phone went off I was like “I bet that’s me messaging again” ❤😂
🤣
Love the Magazine Flipping, it's so calming ❤
If you think buying a dog in the mail is crazy. You used to be able to mail your baby. Not even joking. USPS had a baby shipping service.
That is crazy! Funny as heck, but crazy!
