I felt tenderness for these girls, as well as recognition + rolleyed-y + dansko-assed myself as well. I studied in NY early 70's & every single girl either was a Woodstock hippie with stringy long hair, a vacant stare traipsing around Manhattan barefoot 😜 or clones of Ali Mc Graw in Love Story.
Our algorithms at the time? Besides those artsy fartsy cultural events? Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Glamour.
The minute the post arrived with those glossy mags I was happily earmarking the latest "look" with my curly/wavy hair wrapped around my head to force it into the sleek straightness with a middle part to turn myself into another McGraw clone, spending nnnn minutes painting on Twiggy eyelashes just so. Or squeezing myself into a tiny low slung Mary Quant tiny mini. Like every other girl around me. 🤷🏼♀️
Ohhh I love this inside chat and those moments of tenderness towards the girls even as on it’s face it’s kind of scary. The last line! A charm shop! 🤦♀️
So interesting to read this. See this all the time on the street and really wondered about it. Also find it amusing when you see 10 people in a row copying Substack trend.
