The Balding Look
Nowadays, people try to avoid balding at all costs. However, back in the day, women would pluck or shave their hairlines because men found that receding hairlines on women was attractive. This is present in a lot of renaissance paintings. Seriously.
The Vibrating Belt
This particular moment in history was chock full of lousy weight-loss devices. The 1950s were chock full of vibration themed weight loss machines that were intended to, quite literally, jiggle people into fitness. This did not work, but it was nice and relaxing.
