awesomely creepy

very creepy!

Apart from all being really well-dressed, they're completely insane.

haha yeah i really love the 40s dress

though she is prob wearing some crazy girdle thing under there

I'm sad there's no '60s couple. I would like my chosen decade-of-denial spotlighted, pls!

the poor 30s woman is like living in the depression!

This must be a recurring theme in Brit papers because there was something else like this a while ago but a little lighter on the "lol equality" tip.

"I try to escape from where we are now and rarely read newspapers because I find today's world so depressing."

Why aren't there photos of the husbands? Do they dress in period costume, too?

And why don't they have any medieval reenactors? I think 1250s wife would have some great clothes.

The older article I'm thinking of had husbands AND wives, but I don't know now how to google it. It was def a British paper.

It wouldn't be so bad if they were like Victorian gothics who were still all about visiting Denny's and doing speed and working call center jobs in their duds, doing it for themselves. But the Time Warp Wives' obsession with being "really good and perfect to my husband" all subservient thing is what freaks me out here. There's nothing wrong with playing fantasyland dress-up, otherwise.

one of my girlfriends said she might find it comforting. like as long as it's a choice, to have such a delineation of purpose would be a relief, in a way.

A number of people join the armed forces for a similar reason, I think. It seems like a bad idea for a permanent arrangement unless you expect you will never grow or change.

there is something kind of freaky about playing fantasyland dress-up past the age of, i dunno, 12

btw i am indoors & wearing a soft plastic yellow construction hat & aviators at the moment
