1919-1945

I always figured that 1900 would have been the perfect year to be born. You could be in your 20s during the 20s. I luv the 20s! Music, style, hair, attitude....just about everything!

I agree with you on this point. 20's in your twenties, thirtees in your thirties , too old for the war, then your memory starts to fade when style collapses ;) lol

I like the years 1972-2007. Good time to be around because you can wear whatever you want, or wear next to nothing. Beyond that there is no era that I favor. I like some things Victorian, some things Edwardian, some things from the 1940s, my style is very eclectic and couldn't imagine it any other way, and I'm glad I don't have to.

For music: Roughly the years 1900 through 1960. I like very little after that period as far as new songs or styles of music. I do like some of the songs made post 1960 by the artists (Jazz and popular) who made their mark pre-1960.

EDIT: I re-read my earlier post and realized that I typed 1950 which should have been 1960. I may be a Mr.Moldy Fig stuck in the past...it's just that I'm stuck ten less years into the past!:p

Mid - late '30s, a small bit of the '40s(limited mostly to military stuff), and on rare occasions the late '60s and early '70s(mostly movie and automotive related with a lot of my casual dress being derived from then as well).

LOL!

Me, I'm a WWII gal. Nothing like those fashions, spare by necessity but style and class like gangbusters.

I like the napoleonic era. Very exciting in Europe. You'd have to be rich of course, otherwise it would suck, though I suppose that's true of any time.

It would have to be 37-59. Honestly tho, 48 runs a close favorite. Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to fit as well in the twenties as I can later, even though there's not that much difference in time......
