MY FIRST MEMORIES OF VINTAGE
Saturday, 7 July 2007
My First Encounter
So, my first encounter with the hippies occured when one of them asked if I was loney.  I guess I was.  An outcast and loner at heart, I immediately made new friends.  They were smoking weed and decided that I could use some face painting.  It was great.  I went home that day with a floral face and my mother loved it.  I was astonished.  I had to lie as to where I got such as wonderful work of art but I ate my dinner and she soon forgot about it and so did I. What I didn't forget was the smell of weed and how much I loved the psychedelic clothing worn by my new friends and, of course, my floral face.

Union City 1967
Mood:  special

I was 6 years old and my mom would let me out to play.  She'd say, "Be careful with those long-haired, crazy people", meaning the hippies.  But I loved them.  They wore colorful clothes and portrayed such a sense of freedom.  Coming from a tremendously strict household,  I admired that freedom.  The hippies wore big floral tunics and headbands, minis made from psychedelic patterns and painted their faces.
