The Fool 1969

Rain Forest Iguana

On Sunday we went to see the exhibits at the Botannical Gardens in Niagara Falls and it was so amazing to see these creatures, but mostly for seeing the sloth!!! Unfortunately, nooone was allowed to take photos of it, but we saw it close up when the keeper was feeding it..sloths are so adorable!!!! No wonder Steve Tyler of Aeorosmith has one as a pet. I would love to have a pet sloth too, but they don't live that long then, only like 2 years! Unless they have the proper plants and trees around them. Anyways, besides the beautiful sloth, we saw a squishy giant frog, giant iguana, giant turtle, and a giant chameleon..everything was giant size except for the sloth which was medium size, possibly a baby.

Monterey Pop Outfit

Wearing cute summer top from H&M, amazing trippy print skirt, thrifted, floppy hat thrifted, and beaded necklace around my neck..i wish it was summer now!! but today we are getting a severe snowstorm and ice rain and my classes were cancelled.  I will be watching Monterey Pop 68 tonight and wishing I was at an outdoor festival with the sparkling hot sun in my face!

Cork Sandals

Recently thrifted groovy cork sandals which I've been searching endlessly for and I was happy to find these..they were pricey at $9.95 but they are in great condition and the brand is Nine West..this is the closest I could find to 1970s cork sandals..they are a size 5 & a half and I normally am a size 6 & a half to a 7 but it fit perfect! Anyways, its been so cold outside and I haven't been feeling like doing much except art studies and of course work. Saw a great film last night.."Ford vs Ferrari"..the story is of a British driver/mechanic who works with the Ford Company and his friend who designs autos..it takes place in 1966 and the Le Mans race in France where Ford beats Ferrari..the British racer, Ken Miles, is played brilliantly by Christian Bale and Carroll Shelby is played by Matt Damon..also great!! It's such a great quality film and funny too..especially Christian Bale's part!! Highly recommend this film!!

Go Ask Alice

I heavily got into the hippie fashion scene thanks to this groovy song which I first came across online when I saw the 1973 film "Go Ask Alice" when I was in school and I got hooked on Jefferson Airplane since then..the film starts off with the song "Go Ask Alice" and its such a great representation of the film itself..if you haven't seen it yet, look it up..its a great film!! I read the book too by Anonymous and its a great read as well. I watch this film every spring and last year, I don't know how I missed it, but now i'm obsessed with the song "Dear Mister Fantasy" by Traffic..this song is played during the stoner scene in the film and its so groovy!! Think magic brownies, patchouli incense, and psychedelic projection! I also love that psychedelic song played inside a van during the acid tripping scene in "Taking Woodstock"! Anyways, yesterday I went thrifting with friends and the song "Tiny Dancer" came on and a guy who works there made us totally crack up by saying "Is he singing about Tony Danza? coz that's what it sounds like..Tony Danza!"hahaha..we're like "Who the freakin' hell is Tony Danza??" ummm..yeah..google time..he was on that show Who's the Boss..haha. Okay so now I know who Tony Danza is. I scored a lot of goodies..umm..shoes, hippie skirt, hippie coat etc..will post a try-on haul..

Sugar Shoppe 1967

Now I've been getting into the film Godspell 1973 and Victor is now my latest heartthrob..like Marcia would say "he's sooo dreamy!!" Also been putting scarves over lamps to create a warm summer hippie ambience in my room (yes I make sure that it doesn't get hot!), also I found this groovy organic hippie shampoo at the flea market..its all dried up though..can't use it but I bought specifically for the packaging!

Hippie Art

Jerry Garcia and Alice Cooper in pencil, and Eat Me drawing with markers for art class project..

Groupie Make Up

New make up stuff I picked up over the weekend..these amazing false eyelashes and Rocketman eyeliner are from the Dollar Tree, and the two glitter eyeshadows..the pink glitter one is Groupie, and the purple glitter is Moonchild..both were $2.25 at Walmart.  Went to bed late watching the Oscars..the best part was Elton John performing the song "I'm Gonna Love Me Again" in 1970s technicolor background which was sooo super funky!!!

Technicolor Dreams

I haven't been creative for a long while and suddenly I felt like painting, and I love how this turned out..very cute!! Clouds, planets, and the sun make my day.

Happy B-Day Alice Cooper!

Happy Birthday to a total inspiration and forever muse!!
