Any of you remember Mary Quant, the miniskirt and Carnaby Street?

Jean Shrimpton (model) attended our Melbourne Cup race-day and wore a mini-skirt and no stockings. Talk about a furore! The poor old horses took second place that day.

First I've heard of Mary Quant but the rest is familiar, we got the miniskirt here in El Paso in the late 1960s, hotpants in the early 1970s and of course The Beatles were my favorites from 1965 forward, before the Beatles I can't even recall liking music. I also fell into that era of hippies, we wanted to go back to nature and in my case I was pro Native American as were quite a few others. Funny how so much of that has been forgotten Just thought I'd mention that the miniskirt was actually first contrived in the roaring twenties but that not what they all those dresses back then. And, like the miniskirt, not all women wore them.

I loved the 60's and the 70's.

Of course I remember the miniskirts, I still have some of those I bought in the 60's. I remember I was terribly thin with very long hair, because that was in fashion.

I like British Mod. I have been to Carnaby Street which is now junky tourist shops.

I was born in 1960 so I do remember the latter part of the decade a little bit. I remember Twiggy but whether I remember her in the 60,s or 70,s I am not sure. The 60,s for me were about school and TV shows like star trek and Dr who. Oh and Celtic winning the European Cup in 67. Got to watch the game on the telly. I remember that.
