My First Job: Silver Bloggers Prompt
The New York City Seventh Avenue Garment District has been the center of fashion in the United States for generations. Historically, stores on New York's Fifth Avenue featured the latest styles because these stores would get their clothes directly from designers in the Garment District. It was at one of these stores that I worked in my first job.
This sight (picture below), of someone pushing a hand truck loaded with fabric, was quite common in the Garment District. I didn't walk through the District when I went to work, but it was an adjoining neighborhood. Before she was married, my mother worked there as a seamstress and when I was growing up my aunt worked there as a pattern maker. New York City's Garment District was in my blood, but somehow those fashion genes skipped me.
The American friends I've met so far at Hive are men from Oregon, Wyoming, and Texas, but this was my first conversation with a woman from New York.
Madam is a white American woman from New York who is the same age as my mother.
My first job was part-time and temporary. The store was Ohrbach's, which featured high fashion at less than premium prices. I went to an employment agency to find the job and for some reason that agency thought I would be a good fit in the store. This was an interesting experience for someone who knew nothing about clothes and really didn't care much (at all) about fashion.
She reportedly worked as a cashier at a clothing store called Ohrbach.
For her, Ohrbach was her first job and she was proud of it!
When she worked at Ohrbach, America was at a time when women worked alongside men in society.
East Asian historians like me claim that that era was the birth of the first feminism in America!
I don’t know if my respected senior would agree with that fact!😄
I don't know much about American feminism and feminists, but I remember that they demanded equal wages and working conditions with men in society!
In the 1950s, the United States experienced an economic boom, and as American civilians emerged into the middle class, mass production, consumption, and leisure culture developed.
During this period, American women gained a variety of jobs in society, and in particular, they became wealthy as they worked in sales, public relations, and service industries.
Beginning in the 1950s, American women's wealth and power increased as they entered various occupational classes in society.
John F. Kennedy was the man who took best advantage of this situation.
American television broadcasting, which began in the 1950s, penetrated deeply into American families, and women also became involved in American politics while watching TV.
John F. Kennedy was born with a genius talent for actively utilizing television broadcasting.
With his handsome appearance, noble family, and soft and charming demeanor, he emerged as the Prince Charming of American women.😄
The debate competition between Kennedy and Nixon that took place on TV was decided as American women were attracted to Kennedy's physical charm.
I wonder if my respected senior would agree with me!😆
East Asian men like me think that if there had been no TV, Nixon would have won over Kennedy!
By the way, I think it was natural that American women voted for Kennedy because he was more attractive than Nixon!😄
I wonder if my dear Madam liked Kennedy!
I wonder how , as a beautiful teenage girl, felt when she saw Kennedy!😌
This article is about the original 1960 Twilight Zone episode. For the 1986 remake, see The After Hours (The Twilight Zone, 1985). For the Severance episode, see The After Hours (Severance). For other uses, see After Hours (disambiguation).
"The After Hours" is episode thirty-four of the American television anthology series, The Twilight Zone. It originally aired on June 10, 1960, on CBS.
I remembered while watching the 1960 Twilight Zone episode "The After Hours" that Madam worked in the clothing section of a department store.
The original 1960 Twilight Zone episode is considered by East Asian scholars to be an important historical document that tells us about the lives of American civilians in the 1950s!
The 1950s was an era when American department stores began to have global influence. In particular, young American women in their late teens began to take their first steps into society by getting jobs at department stores.
I thought that the young and beautiful of the 1960s also started out as a member of society by getting her first job at a department store!
In the original 1960 Twilight Zone episode, there were many beautiful women at American department stores in the 1950s, so I imagined that Madame was a beauty!
I hope she understands my awkward and rude English sentences like my American elementary school student did!
My dear elder brother Steve is always worried that I will make this mistake!😅
While chatting with Madame , I was surprised to learn that people from New York are completely different from people from Oregon, Wyoming, and Texas!
Because the United States is such a large continent, and there are so many different races, cultures, and religions from all over the world, Steve always advised me to look at the other person first before speaking.
Steve, , Joseph, and Rob all live in the wild and desolate wilderness and mountains, but Madame
has lived in the city of New York her entire life.
I don't know much about American geography, but New York felt more like a European city than Oregon, Wyoming, and Texas!
I am told that people on the eastern side of the United States have a completely different race and culture than those on the western side!
Louisa May Alcott (/ˈɔːlkət/; November 29, 1832 – March 6, 1888) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet best known for writing the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Good Wives (1869), Little Men (1871), and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised in New England by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott, she grew up among many well-known intellectuals of the day, including Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Encouraged by her family, Alcott began writing from an early age.
I had the dangerous imagination that people in the eastern part of the United States might have a similar look to Louisa May Alcott!
Louisa May Alcott's literary works are very popular with modern men in Japan and Korea!
I think this is a work that helps us understand American women, especially in the eastern United States!
The works of Laura Elizabeth Ingalls Wilder (February 7, 1867 – February 10, 1957) were a must-see for modern Japanese and Korean men.
Very popular. Especially understanding women in the western region of the United States.
It is considered a valuable resource!
Melissa Sue Anderson (born September 26, 1962) is an American-Canadian actress. She began her career as a child actress after appearing in several commercials in Los Angeles. Anderson is known for her role as Mary Ingalls in the NBC drama series Little House on the Prairie (1974–1983), for which she received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Melissa Sue Anderson is a typical American blonde beauty who has become very popular with Japanese and Korean men!
She remains an important memory from my childhood!
I guessed that Madame had a great life as an American office worker in the 1960s!
I imagined she was probably a beautiful, intelligent white American woman like Melissa Sue Anderson!
I hope dear madam can understand the awkward and rude English of an American elementary school student!
I am worse at writing English than Joseph from Oregon!😂
I hope you understand that this is my first time talking to an American woman!
I hope your health and long life!
