I have to laugh. A real Hippie, in person - like wow, man.
Oh, yes! It was around 1967. And, of course, I was warned to
stay away from them. :-)
I saw dozens of Hippies in person before I ever saw one in a hoop skirt.
Maybe because they were out of style by 1906? :-) It's
interesting how an era is frozen into/associated with the identity of
certain places. There's a good question, other than hoops in the
south, what other places are associated with historic dress? Hmmm,
Philadelphia 1776 comes to mind. Plymouth and 17thC puritan dress.
