The calendar may say 2010, but for this couple the clock stopped 60 years ago.
Take one glance at Susan Cadzow and her fiance Marc Rondeau’s house and you’d think you had stepped back in time. And it’s not just their cool furniture that looks like it belongs in the 1950s. Susan and Marc could have just stepped out of I Love Lucy.
The couple have happily locked themselves into a never-ending time warp where every day sees them living a total 1950s lifestyle. It’s the decade of their choice. “We’re not some couple who are into dress-ups and pretending,” Marc says. “For us, this is our complete way of life.”
He’s not joking. As Woman’s Day approaches the soon-to-be-married couple’s “groovy pad” in Sydney’s inner west, we spot Susan and Marc through the venetians, jiving. The record is spinning on the radiogram and Bill Haley is rocking.
“You name anything you live your life with in the modern world, and you can bet we will have a 1950s version of it,” says a breathless Susan, 46, glammed up in an original 50s dress.
She has fully embraced the happy homemaker attitude of the 1950s. Her whiz-bang Sunbeam Mixmaster has her cooking up cupcakes faster than you can say Betty Crocker, and her nifty little Victor mower sees her lawns perfectly manicured in minutes.
