[QUOTE="donna723, post: 591297, member: 1883"] MWM, we had to wear skirts and dresses to school too. I think it changed the year after I graduated. It wasn't too bad in high school because we lived in Florida. But we lived in St. Louis when I was younger and we darned near froze our hineys off in the winter! Back then, winter coats for little girls came with a matching pair of "snow pants" that you wore under the coat to keep from freezing. And as far as "Hippies", that was OUR generation so I am very familiar with it! Of course, I kind of came up through the rock music culture, all my friends were musicians or connected somehow, so everybody I knew looked like that, everybody had the long hair, everybody dressed like that. It started out as some very good, gentle people with very high ideals who had the idea that they could somehow change the world, and in some ways they did. And the world at that time was badly in need of changing. I think that because of the music and the war in Vietnam, our generation bonded more closely with each other and created our own culture, more than any other before or after it. And for a short few years it was a very beautiful thing. [/QUOTE]
