Ep #35 - Eyeliner Westerns in the 60s

Out here in the desert you only have two friends, your rifle and your flat angled eyeliner brush. One of Jenna’s favorite activities is spotting inappropriate fashion, hair, and makeup in meant-to-be period films. Some decades are certainly worse than others and the midcentury falls firmly in the ‘too self aware’ camp–I mean, how can you expect people to flock to the theaters if we can’t even see the general outline of some cleavage, am I right guys? While not as prudish as the 1800s, in the 1960s it was still pretty ‘shocking’ to show women in jeans, so perhaps this hybrid mod-Western style does lend some authenticity in its own way.

In this episode, Bart & Jenna curate a list of 1960s westerns starring women and their incredible ability to deflect desert heat from melting their full face makeup. It’s a positive who’s who of important ‘60s babes! They also consider what might have been if not for a lot of male insecurity behind the camera.
