36. OK. EVERYBODY STOP IT NOW.

My first girlfriend in highschool looked exactly like Donna on "That 70's Show". She loved macrame (sp?) and aromatherapy. I can still smell the patchouli.

This thread is making me horny for my youth. So, at least keep it political.

HIPPIE CHICKS RULE.

[Blue Gardener]

5. I dressed as a Hippie Chick for Halloween

The only way I can ever get decent long hair is to wear a wig, so I got to have really, really long hair, at least for a day.

[Mabus]

12. I dress like a hippie chick everyday

oops, I guess its because I am a hippie chick, a middle-aged (didn't think I'd live this long) hippie chick who has never lost that ideal of a world at peace, a clean environment and a understanding.

[Neoma]

6. I'm the younger Generation of hippie

Theres some in every generation :hippie:

[teach1st]

7. Hippie here...

[madrchsod]

10. i had a 4 door like that-

[hippiechick]

11. OMG, are you single ??

:loveya:

[teach1st]

16. I'm single, but I hardly look like that...

..anymore (I feel that way, though).

Ah, the good old days!

[hippiechick]

22. So ?

:loveya: Looks are only a small part of one's beauty.



:hippie:

[teach1st]

28. True enough!

And I'm still a hippie! You know I've never found anything that for me comes closer to truth than the real hippie ethos. Too bad it's being attacked by RW revisionists.

[hippiechick]

33. We've always been attacked by them ...

...guess they're just insecure and jealous because they know we're right. :evilgrin:



:hippie:

[teach1st]

39. Yup...straight is

as straight does.

When I run into people I knew from years ago, they say "I wanted to do what you were doing, but I didn't have guts."

They have more money than me now, but I have more magic.

[BensMom]

15. What and where

Ahh fun pic.

What is that vehicle?
And where is the location?
Not around here or boots would be on the fence posts

[teach1st]

21. Hawai'i

..in 1972, I think. We picked up the '62 Plymouth Valiant for a song and ran it until it couldn't be run anymore. The push-button transmission buttons all froze until all we had was reverse.

[wellstone dem]

17. Except for the surroundings

I'd swear you were my brother. Hey Dave, are you at DU?

[mr_hat]

19. Wow -- is that a Dart or a Valiant?

[teach1st]

32. '62 Valiant

What a trooper!

[HEAVYHEART]

51. Wow. You're cute..

[teach1st]

59. Thanks!

I was cute! Now I've got character!

[hippiechick]

13. The Definition of hippie

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Hippie

[hippiechick]

24. That would be me ...

"... hip·pie also hip·py
( P ) Pronunciation Key (hp) n. pl. hip·pies
A person who opposes and rejects many of the conventional standards and customs of society, especially one who advocates extreme liberalism in sociopolitical attitudes and lifestyles... "



:hippie:

[wellstone dem]

14. my 16 year old daughter

was called a hippie for supporting Kerry and being for progressive values. Does that count?

[nine23]

47. Depends on how she reacted.

If she gave them the 'ol middle finger, which I believe was popularized in the 60's, then yes...she's off to a good start!

[wellstone dem]

61. believe me

she's off to a good start, of course her mom in high school wouldn't stand up for the pledge of allegiance, when ordered to do so by school administration she replied, "I will stand when I have the freedom to sit."

[democracy eh]

18. I am a long haired beared hippie on the outside

and a heartless, flat tax, capitalist on the inside
or is it the other way around

[mr_hat]

20. Where's Fetchin' Gretchen?

[C.C.D.]

25. *waving*

long haired, skirt wearing, vegetarian, recycling, peace loving, organic living Mama here...

:D

...sure wish there were more of us!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

26. If I had been born in the right time

I have no doubt at all I would have been a full on hippie.

To the nth degree.

I have a hippie's soul.

[nine23]

30. As a child of the 70's

...I couldn't help but be a hippie. But then punk came along, whacked me upside the head, and changed everything.

I still hold the values and ideals of both very dearly. As Popeye would say, I yam what I yam. Only with two mortgages and less "mohawk".

And who's Lisa? A poster here? Don't you mean "Moonbeam_Starlight"? If she ain't a hippie, the myth - and my deep fantasies of her - are shattered.

[sugarmags]

31. Hippie here....

and very proud of it! I'm a tree hugger, organic food buyer and flaming liberal. :)

[bobthedrummer]

58. Welcome to DU, sugarmags!

:hi:
:smoke:

[Zen Democrat]

38. Still a freak at heart!! The best of times and the worst of times.

Remember what Wavy Gravy said "There's always a little heaven in a disaster area!" That's how I remember the 60's. Our little heaven in a disaster area.

We have to realize that what's going on now is the 60's straights trying to get their revenge on us. It's the same players. Unfortunately, some of our crowd have gone over to the dark side in these ensuing years -- either too rich or pulled into fundamentalism.

BUT, we've got a whole new crew of open minded, freedom loving, free thinking rebels that have joined the ranks -- three of them are my kids. The key to the movement in the 60's was organization and publicity. We've got to have a new mantra -- and this time include the women. So many of the hippie dudes were completely sexist then, but hopefully have had their third eyes "squeegied quite clean," as Bill Hicks would say.

The media is not on our side. The media is purposefully ignoring us. The massive march in NY before the RNC will testify to that -- only C-Span seemed to be aware of it. But, hey, I'm still truckin' ....

[peacefreak]

40. Nothin' left to do but, smile, smile, smile

:hippie: :hi: always preferred honeysuckle & jasmine to patchouli, made a GREAT brownie, 1st Dead concert was Yale Bowl 1970, yeah, guess that's me. L&K--P

[nine23]

41. As a "stoner" Homer Simpson might say...

"mmmm....brownies"

[Pepperbelly]

42. Yo ... nt

[graywarrior]

43. I'm still a hippie

[Solitaire]

46. LOL

If this is a "hippy dating thread", I'd love to join in!

:loveya:

[Nikia]

45. My best friend might be but he doesn't like being called hippy

He has long hair, smokes pot, is liberal, and enjoys making art and playing music. He really hates it when people call him a hippy unless the people calling him that might be considered a hippy. His reasoning is that most people call him that do so derogatorily.

[nine23]

49. Just a thought...

Could it be that if he smoked better quality pot, he just wouldn't give a shit what people say?

Sorry. I'm Canadian. We take these quality issues very seriously. We go to sommelier-like lengths thinking about this stuff.

Like I'm doing now.

[grannylib]

48. old hippie right here, still groovin' man!

[HEAVYHEART]

52. Hippie here!

And proud of it! :hippie:

[NMDemDist2]

53. that would be me too, a child of the 70's n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

54. Right here man

Hippie and proud

[John Dark]

55. I've been called a hippie...

...with reason. A couple years ago, I started growing my hair back and it's now longer than it has ever been before in my life, even when I was a young hippie. The hippie scene has never gone away —think of the Rainbow Family, for example — though it stopped being trendy in the media long ago (thank Goddess for that, just leave us alone).

In 2002 I finally said to myself, fuck it, there's no reason to keep getting haircuts any more if I want to let my freak flag fly. Now it's halfway down to my waist and... the earth's the limit!

The media player visualizations on your computer now give us trippier psychedelic light shows than they ever had in the Fillmore. Only thing really missing these days is the LSD.

But, on the positive side, grow-your-own psilocybe spores are now more available than they were back in the day.

Like mushrooms, the hippie consciousness is mostly below ground in today's world, like a mycelium extending all over the place underground, it's always there, even if you don't see it. Once in a while it does raise a fruiting body that pokes its head up above ground. We latter-day freaks are those fruiting bodies! Let's SPORE all over America again!

[CO Liberal]

56. I Was a Hippie - Late '60s/Early '70s

And here's my 1971 Senior Prom picture to prove it. (I'm the one on the right.)

[neohippie]

57. we are everywhere

I was born a little too late to be a hippy, but I feel I have adopted the ideals of the hippies and the yippies!

See you on tour!

[argyl]

60. I'm another.Even let my hair get longer than it's been in years.

Call it my "screw the Bush administration (non)hair cut."
What's ahead will make the 60's look like a tea party.

[mike_c]

62. lifelong freak here....

Still smokin' after all these years.... :smoke:
