I’ve been listening to the “Hair” soundtrack incessantly for the last week, it’s just so uplifting and danceable and captures the late 60s wildness in such a fun, campy way. I keep thinking about the Cockettes (when am I not?) I think being in SF made us all obsessed with them, wishing for cheap Victorians and a time when 1920s dresses were tossed into thrift shops. One can dream! I still pine for a life like this ~ performing, living in a tribe, adorning ourselves & each other in our prettiest peacock dreamcoats.

I just tried to find some songs online – will post songs to this post later! So check back!

Wow, that medicine pouch is gorgeous. What a rare and very special find. Reminds me of Mariee Sioux’s music. And thanks for reposting the piece by Kaia.

Oh, I’m always day dreaming about that sort of thing, I wish I could go back to the jumble sales (do you have those? maybe the equivalent is a yard or estate sale) that I went to as a teenager. Just imagine what you could find on a time travelling thrifting trip…
