Yes the bell bottoms.
but we were the ones who did not pay over $10 for them! and as of embroidery, well we did it ourselfs, Yes I was a hippy and overall still am.
Had a place here in town called the Tot Togery who this little Chinese woman could size u up for a pair of Togs, in any color you wanted for 9.50

We made our own short, out of cutting our jeans off and using ribbons and etc to lace up the sides..yes very short!

Fish net stockings..ugh in the 7th grade.
French Heals

NO, it was Yardly eye stuff, that tried to make you look like Twiggy.

Going to freinds homes, that your parents did not know, who the guy was, who had a USA Flag hanging in his living room.

Bogarting and passing the roach clip.

Sandle wood fragrance in a cosmetic thing you just dabbed and put on neck.

Boyfriend who drove an old old HUGE moving van that had no seats.

Hitchhiking, oh mom would of killed me.

Having the screen door locked, as you had the house key, but if the screen door was locked you were SOL.

OH yes Patti, Boonesfarm Apple wine, UGH, got so sick!

We use to go out to this place in the oilfields we called it "gitchygue"...use to tell scarry stories, then eveyone would lock me out of van.....oh I was scarred.

Making out in the bathtub with Martin!

I was a tomboy all my life, so when I was real young I had a stingray bike, and we use to throw old rotten apples from the alley into cars passing...me and all the boys in neighborhood...oh man

Having a party while my parents were out of town..cops came, everyone flew out doors...my grandparents lived next door... oh oh...mum was the word and Grandma never told anyone! She was cool.

Some kid in high school was cheating off my paper, I went to the pencil sharpener and sharpend mine up sharp...next time he glanced at me, I jabbed him with it...lol many many years later I was single and so was he, were talking like 15 years, we went out, and he said he still had that lead in his leg.. oh how funny!

Girls Date Prom...I asked this new boy in HS to go to prom w/me...he said ok sure....that #@ canceled the day before, and I had my dress bought, shoes dyed to match dress..very sad...a friend of mine, he knew someone whos brother had a tux, and this guy I didnt even know took me to the event. Needless to say that SOB to ditched me, was there with some "soach".

Wearing flowers in our hair

San Franciso at Height and Ashbury I loved it there!

Oh man its so late, and I have blabbed on and on..
Gotta go as I need my rest now...
But overall I am still a rebel at heart, and look danger in the eye every chance I can get!.

Okay, 1959...Sizzlers (very short halter dress with matching panties), Candies (shoes), cruising Frisches in the fastest Mustang in town, Bad Company (the band, and my friends too!), working in a gas station pumping gas, living on Pepsi Cola (in a glass bottle) and Hershey bars, pucca shell chokers, buying 45's with birthday money, and my parents coming home from the movies to find that I threw up and passed out in their bed from, you guessed it, Boones Farm! (oh yeah, the movie was 'The Exorcist". hee hee)

I fell in love with Three Dog Night while babysitting one lonely New Years Eve.

Good times,
Denise

Sierra, is Patchouli oil the same as Musk oil? OMG I loved Musk oil! Absolutely, guys with long hair and tight jeans.

Denise

Yes sir

the hip hugger

real low

with a belt on them

to emphasize.. LOL



and then the wee midriff tops

or one that tied just under the bust



what else..

heck



in San Fran there were places

called:



the Coq D'or..

Dance your Ass Off (sorry)

it was..

Perry's on Union

Henry Africa



Life was freeer than

or so it seems



did anyone go to something like

a Rennaisance Fair in the woods

many were smoking grass

(no, not myself)

but .. it was such good fun

but I do wonder

how many of us here

smoked then

I sure smoked my share

of cigarettes in younger days

and going into the dances

it was so thick with the smoke





they used to call

some of the bars Topless Bars then..



I do recall those shoes

with the beads



Barb-eques were big



did anyone here mention

hot pants with the long skirt

yet

or is that before your time???

Oops, almost forgot Maxi skirts!

Hi Gals;;

oh my word, that TV..
remember black and whites
you likely DO NOT..

I recall the mood rings,
and some of those other
items
An old soul, huh..

Patti:
I had a pal do the same to me
I arrived back in San Fran
she told me she was a waitress
I went down.. and oh boy what a shock
She was quite a free spirit
one might say
funny, huh

no one else remembers hot pants
boy, how provocative when I think of it
now..
but then look what they wear today

white lipstick.. too far back for you

toodles

)

Sierra,
I remember hot pants!
and I remember not having colored tv and no cable tv
and no remote!!
How about tv shows- Red Skelton, Lost in space, The Monkeys, Ed Sulivan, American Band Stand,Woody wood pecker

My first car was a volkswagon too!!
my favorite songs were Nights in White Satin and Stairway to heaven

Tawyna, I bet it was worth the trouble your mom got into!

'Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog'... see if you can keep yourself from singing it now!

Patti, love the TV picture. Remember rabbit ears? (we use to pose our little sister until we got good reception and make her stay that way, she still hasn't forgave us). Grandma had a movie camera with a projector and screen. The lights would blind you so you couldn't see what you got for Christmas. LOL

Sierra, don't remember white lipstick. How about pin curls and drawing a black line up the back of your leg to look like stockings. (am I going too far back?)

Take care all,
Denise

wow.. lots here today
