just because you dress boho chic doesn't mean your a hippie.

that's true, wayfaring stranger. never thought of it that way.

 

I don't really let it bother me. I can see why it would irk some people, I mean, dressing in a certain way to fit in is beyond meaningless and doesn't change the true person at all. I don't think that people should make a big deal of it, though. I find that I am often just as annoyed, if not more annoyed, by the people calling others posers as I am with the people who are actually posing. I think that someone has mentioned this before in this thread, but it is not as though everyone is having a competition to see who is the "real hippie." It could be that people just admire the fashion and don't realize its origin, or it could be that they are trend-followers, or it could be that they do have what some would call a hippie state of mind and enjoy the fashion, as well. In each case, it is that person's life and doesn't affect your's or anyone else's. If it is a phase, just don't pay any mind and rest assured that they will be onto something new shortly. As others have said, it means that you will be getting some nice clothes at discount price soon (if you are into that fashion) . Trust me, thinking of it in this way will relieve the annoyance that you feel.

 

I know what ya mean. The majority of society think they have to live by the ole proverbial book. And base their whole lives on what others may or may not think. It's sad really lifes to short to spend it worrying about what joe blow down the street has or is doing. There is a ritchie island down the way and one summer for extra cash I decided to clean houses. Any way every one has the same exact fancy organic soapes and your nobody if you don't have a gardner and a cleaning service. And they love to actually sit and watch you clean their house while they sip their wine with their guests that they are trying to impress. Can you tell I am getting wound up lol. It got to be to much. Yea I could smoke it up on the way from house to house and it was a laid back job, but Istarted to get really resentfull not because of what they had but, because whothey were trying to be. And the fact that I was doing 5 houses a day some of them 6 to 8 1000 ft didn't help either :H

 

I spent about a year installing high speed internet as a "contractor" for the cable TV company. Talk about an education on how the "other half" lives! Man, they may look nice on the outside, but a lot of rich people live like pigs!

I remember in particular one "MacMansion", looked on the outside like a starter house for the Rich and Famous. The inside was mostly white carpet, white leather couches, and ... parrots, lots of parrots. Newspapers and plastic scattered around the huge fancy cages, birdseed and parrot shit all over all of it, and it smelled like a chicken coop in July right after a rain.

Glad you didn't have to clean that one, Mariah!

 

I know exactly what you mean. Million dollar homes with a million dollar view. I actually cleaned some houses like that. And every week it was the same nasty mess.

 

hippie is what you are in soul,not what you dress.dressing like hippies did is just a way to show everyone else that clothes really don't matter much
