Hippie Craze

I love floral  floral maniac. It's just crazy I think it's crazy. A good friend of mine who is currently her having master degree about cultural study said that her lecturer explained that only hippies could consistently  wear floral pattern (I desperately need a journal article about this, to examine myself of course) . She said that she instantly thought of me when she heard that statement. So, Am I a hippie? I don't smoke joint or wear psychedelic pattern DIY tee. So I looked up "hippies" at wikipedia, and this is the result:

The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that arose in the United States during the mid-1960s, swiftly spreading to other countries around the world. The etymology of the term 'hippie' is from hipster, and was initially used to describe beatniks who had moved into New York City's Greenwich Village, San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, and similar urban areas. The early hippie ideology included the countercultural values of the Beat Generation. Some created their own social groups and communities, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as marijuana and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness.

And I also managed to find some hippie inspired shoots, I should say the pics are rather awesome...





 I just died and went to hippie heaven (it sounds so wrong almost as if I were smoking joint)
Flower Power!
