You know you were a 'late' hippy/ heavy metal fan when....

[Gameboy]

Sorry - can't relate to those other threads.... was anyone else like this in the 70's & 80's??

• Indian cotton tops and skirts (or with worn out jeans
• Patchouly oil
• Joss sticks
• genesis/ Led Zepplin/ AC/dc; all still goign strong/ Deep Purple
• Army surplus green jacket to wear on top
• leather boots
• embroidered denim jackets - some with tassles (I was the girl favoured by all the boys at the Youth club 'cos I could do the embroidered stuff on the back
• head-banging with long hair (girls and boys)
• black eyeliner
• and everyone drove a Citroen Dyane

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT???????

Oh my, oh my. I didn't like heavy metal, I'm so old we called it "progressive rock" (and everyone seems to have missed the archetypal and best Jimi Hendrix off their list)

And, what's really appalling is that (I can hardly beleive I'm going to admit this) I got married first time around wearing an afghan coat, a purple mini-dress and long black suede boots with (small) platform soles - in church

And probably wearing patchouli oil
