Cartrefi newydd ar gyfer hen bethau ~ New homes for old things

————— ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— —————

Mae llawer o hen bethau gyda fi, etifeddwyd rhai ohonynt o fy rhieni. Roedd rhai yn eithaf personol, ac eraill dim - ond maen nhw'n eithaf diddorol beth bynnag. Ffeindiais i'r hen gylchgronau ('Picturegoer' o 1936) hyn yn ddiddorol oherwydd yr hysbysebion. Roedd e'n byd gwahanol (yn gobeithio). Llawer o hysbysebion i berswadio menywod bod yn rhaid iddyn nhw edrych fel sêr ffilm i ddal dyn. Roedd rhai yn dweud bod rhaid iddyn nhw: golli pwysau, magu pwysau, glanhau eu dannedd, defnyddio powdrau a golchdrwythau - er mwyn osgoi bod yn ddibriod, neu hyd yn oed gael eu gŵr ar grwydr. Roedd hysbysebion o fuddion sigaréts hefyd. Roedd fy nhad yn ei arddegau pan oedd yn darllen y cylchgronau hyn cyn yr Ail Ryfel Byd.  Mae un rhifyn o 1950 hefyd ac mae'n parhau mewn ffasiwn debyg. Rydw i'n meddwl bod newidiodd y gymdeithas fwy ar ddiwedd y 1950au - a daeth y cylchgrawn i ben yn 1960.

Beth bynnag, ar ôl gwers hanes hwn, Rydw i'n gobeithio ffeindio rhywun sydd eisiau’r cylchgronau hyn.

I have a lot of old things, some of which were inherited from my parents. Some were quite personal, others not - but they were quite interesting anyway. I found these old magazines ('Picturegoer' from 1936) interesting because of the ads. It was a different world (hopefully). Lots of advertisements to persuade women that they have to look like movie stars to catch a man. Some said they had to: lose weight, gain weight, clean their teeth, use powders and lotions - to avoid being unmarried, or even having their husband stray. There were also advertisements for the benefits of cigarettes. My father was a teenager when he read these magazines before the Second World War. There is also one 1950 edition and it continues in a similar fashion. I think society changed more in the late 1950s - and the magazine closed in 1960.

Anyway, after this history lesson, I'm hoping to find someone who wants these magazines.
