“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”

-Coco Chanel

Why can't I live in the 60's? Or at least dress like I do. Every single aspect of that era attracts me. The music, the fashion, the lifestyle. In every part of the nation, in every year of the era. From the early 60's to the late 60's. From Boston to Haight Street. From Francoise Hardy to Simon & Garfunkel. Even the literature was good.

From folk, to rock, to jazz, I have yet to hear some music from the 60's that I don't like. Well, actually, I take that back. I'm not all the fond of The Who. Their music's a little too pretentious for me, and I can never quite get into their songs.

I love The Supremes. A group of three female singers of the early 60's. Their sound's straight from Motown, and yet is classy in a way that I could easily imagine dancing to Stoned Love in any high end dance joint.

I also love the easy anthem songs, like San Fransisco by Scott Mckenzie and Twelve Thirty by the Mama's and the Papa's. And of course, who doesn't love the Beatles?

And how bout that fashion? Hm? The 60's took the best from the 40's and 50's and incorporated it into their every day wear. They had such a classy flair.

The 60's gave birth to skinny jeans. They were introduced by Audrey Hepburn in the pants that she wore for Funny Face (my personal favorite Hepburn movie). Now, although it's a fad that's begun fading, they've become a popular thing again. They also brought about the mini skirt. Throughout history skirts have always been acceptable below or at the knee, and then BANG. The mini skirt. There's never been a time since then where there hasn't been some sort of an acceptable mini.

Now, I don't know too much about fashion in general, but I do know that what I've seen I have from the 60's I've really liked. I almost wish fashion would have just stopped its progression since then.
