Born ...okay, Peter, maybe this will make you laugh. Born in 1980, I grew up in Eugene, OR, the land that time (post-60s/70s) forgot. So just like many of your readers, I skipped the makeup (so sad to cover your skin in CHEMICALS! we were so earnest!), skipped the perfumes, wore natural deodorants (Tom's of Maine, or even the rock salt ones), wore Birkenstock sandals and had rainbow toe socks (so cute and cheerful!). My girlfriends and I could kill an entire afternoon between used book shops, wicca shops with their incense and crystals, and shopped for our clothes at flea markets, garage sales, goodwill and import shopts where we sourced our paisley broomstick skirts, floral rayon dresses, and cropped tops. I remember how proud I was of my elephant bells that were 25" wide at the hem!<br /><br />Consequently? I still love the lines of 70s fashion and they're so flattering on my long frame. Oh, and balsam is a plant resin. The balsam cedar produces a resin that is pretty sweet. Um. I have a bottle of balsam essential oil in the cabinet for adding to melted beeswax when I make my own candles. (what did I tell you? Eugene!!)fleur_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500249000124155885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-36770058531043009732012-06-19T21:18:16.455-04:002012-06-19T21:18:16.455-04:00Peter, Thank you for the 70's time travel.
...Peter, Thank you for the 70's time travel. <br /><br />BTW that's Patti Hansen on the cover. She would have been 17 at the time, and she was never "plump", just healthy. I remember her freckles because we have the same coloring and I also had freckles which I never worried about covering up. Patti married Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones and has two daughters. All three of them were on the cover of last December's Town and Country magazine. Google it and you will see that she is still gorgeous.Terri Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664663692345724425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-74698505323709567552012-06-19T16:34:03.179-04:002012-06-19T16:34:03.179-04:00I've tried every day since 1979 to be a 'n...I've tried every day since 1979 to be a 'natural beauty'.

Well unless they have a..."Natural woman?" Well unless they have a excellent body and nice face... but for most commoners a nice dress and makeup (done right) will make a huge difference. After all, consider what natural really means (as in the cavemen days of not taking baths). There will always be huge debates on fashion favorites of whatever decade. For me I think 70s fashions for women were the worst. I remember how everyone was raving fashions by Farrah Fawcett Majors and Brooke Shields. Then on a late night (back when OTA television showed old movies) and watching a dance routine of Tybee Afra, Betty Uitti, Barrie Chase with Fred Astaire in 1957 movie "Silk Stockings" and the beautiful dresses they wore. My reaction was, "wow, the women looked so much better back then!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-26654620202254479822012-06-19T10:26:56.571-04:002012-06-19T10:26:56.571-04:00The shoes!

His clothes moving from trapeze dresses,pant suits to tunics, and boho ethnic dresses really are a journal of what we were wearing or aspiring to wear.
