The day began with an early phonemeeting with my MD to fix a mixup with a presecription. Thankfully, pharmacists could renew the med once while the MD was away. As of today, things should be back to normal in that area. The sun was out all day creating a lovely time for a quick walk to do errands on Main Street.
Mary Quant, a major fashion designer of the 1960s, died today. She was credited with designing and promoting hot pants and the mini skirt. Interestingly, some say the name had nothing to do with the skirt length, but rather was named after her favourite car. These two wardrobe items had emancipatory -- freeing the legs to move without constriction. These fashion stars fit well with the greater women's movement of the '60s.
When thinking of '60s mini skirts, I often see them paired with white go-go boots. I have a picture in my head of the singer of the song shared today. She is wearing the boots and a mini shift or skimmer dress. Not sure where that image was from -- couldn't find it when searching today. At least this cover shows the mini skirt or dress. <smile>
