Re: Fads
Oh Nonie, another Chicago girl here! Yes, scarves or babushkas tied on our chins and black leather jackets, almost white lipstick??? Remember! Before that "cool" period. Saddle shoes, poodle shirt (third grade) Hi-Fi's. American Bandstand, absolutely! Of course, desperate jealousy of Annette on the Mousekteers. Then a beatnick phase, black tights and gloom all the time. Coffee houses, and they actually read poetry. (I miss those :dontknow: Older- Military shirts and bullet belts (not real) with jeans. Mini skirts, midi-skirts, mico-mini skirts and Yes Hot Pants! Red, I too had the Orange Juice can rollers! lol And Nonie, I'm with you on the angora around the guys ring, and sweaters from the guys in gangs (not lettermen!) Sock Hops, pajama parties. Dances, the Twist, The Mashed Potatoes, The Roach, The Swim, The Fish, The Watusi! God I haven't thought about some of this stuff in years. Also, stylish, hot pants with long thigh boots and a patent leather long coat (The Carnaby Street Look) :bigthumbsup: Of course bellbottoms. Oh and Red, we had to kneel down at our highschool too and if our hems did not touch the ground, we had to go to sewing class and take them down. No makeup allowed, no hairspray. Wow I love reminiscing like this. Flower children, make love not war -- still a good motto. Thanks for the memories and thanks for the fun. :2cool:
