How to be a 50's teenage girl?

bedroom designs for girls 2011 image

Chloe

Im 14 and a girl and i am SOOO in love with the 50's every single thing about it, to the black and white small tvs to the sock hops to the coca cola glass bottles and to the fridges to the old cars with wings and the clothes and hairstyles and EVERYTHING! I seriously wish i was born in the 50's!

The only problem is im korean and i don't see alot of pictures of asians in the 50's so im not exactly sure how good it would look on me. But
1.) How do i get anything 50's? I don't think we have lots of antique shops where i live, and most everything on the internet is too expensive,
2.) do you think they would have patterns for 50's dresses in stores still?
3.) what about any good 50's music besides elvis?
4.) how to make my room seem like im in the 50's
5.) what were some things teen girls did in the 50's for free time?

Anything else you would like to add would be wonderful! Like anything! I seriously really want to be a 50's girl. Thanks so much lovelies(: xx

Answer
I like teal (aqua or icy blue) with black and white, but pink, raspberry or red works with it too. So does coral or salmon or even lime. Not much DOESN'T work with black and white. Maybe something here will help you decide:
