Who’s Cool?

We had an actual Afghan hound- we was gorgeous but took some grooming. He smelt ok, generally.

We had an actual Afghan hound- we was gorgeous but took some grooming. He smelt ok, generally.

I looked after one for an evening (a dog not a coat). I wasn’t used to sight hounds back then. He saw a toy Smurf that was high up on a shelf, looked at me as if to say don’t even try to stop me, reached up and took it. I was terrified of him. His owner, a friend of my husbands, had just acquired him as a babe magnet. Never found out if it worked! I did have an untreated Afghan coat ( I wondered why it was so cheap) that smelt so bad I gave it to my Spaniel to sleep on. She loved it.

My ex’s dad worked at a prison where the inmates made loon pants (remember them?) so I had a pair in every colour. Were they (from memory) South Sea Bubble?

Buying things from Melody Maker on mail order. Loons and love beads too. Definitely from South Sea Bubble.

In with the in crowd, regular attender at the Cavern in black polo neck, long black hair and black boots, plus obligatory black eyes (still have them..) Seeing the Beatles knocking around and taking no notice of them.
Our gang, Willy Russell playing his guitar in my regular haunt alongside Roger McGough, Brian Patten and Adrian Henri. Lots of poetry and art.
Dead cool me and my son is dead jealous!

I was definitely cool in the 60s. Art student, jeans so thick with paint they stood up by themselves, and when minis came in we were wearing them with stockings and suspenders because no one was selling tights. Cathy McGowan hair - it was the only time my hair was fashionable! Black eyeliner and white lipstick. My friend and I drank gin and tonic because you could keep topping the glass up with tonic from the bottle and it would last all evening but you'd only had to buy one drink. Happy days!

Art student also. The Juliet Greco look. Long fringe, black clothes. Jazz clubs, folk clubs, hitch hiking everywhere. No pill so you had to be careful. Loved it

Oh our generation has been the coolest. Absolutely no contest.

You got your ironic hat on there I hope😂

I had hair like an afghan hound if that counts as cool.

Having been born in the 1930's, I think I am too old to be cool,
unfortunately.

You are never too old to be cool henetha.

Thank you MrsKen33 . I was as trendy in the 1960's as I could afford to be, even though I was a mother by then. I wore short skirts etc.
