This is me, at 15, in my Pict outfit.
Looking back it is no wonder so many middle aged men plyed me with liquor and asked me to stay in their tent!

You don't wanna see what I looked like when I was 15.

LZ, it is a shame you did not wear a shirt with that picture last Saturday morning.

the leather boys certainly missed out...

Speaking of the leather boys...Magickmaker and I stopped by the craft store today and ended up in the scrapbooking aisle. I'm still undecided about whether to do a scrapbook of this past week. As I told her, one problem would be the parade page. It is just too difficult to find decorative stickers of whips and leather outfits. Why, even rainbow-hued paper was in short supply.

OTOH, there were several cowboy-themed items. So it might work out, after all.

Sarge, I keep saying I'll bring my old E-fest scrapbooks to the next fest, and then I forget to put them in my luggage.

I'm thinking 2014 would be an appropriate time, tho.

BTW, I picked up a copy of the Navajo Times while in Gallup. I'll send it to you when I'm done, if you want. PM me your address.

Is THAT what goes on at Elohimfests??!!? :0 And I was thinking if I ever got to go I would rock my long black embroidered jellabiya...

(I really hope there are no old pix floating around cyberspace from Rainbow Gatherings late 70's early 80's... although I was quite a babe then...)

we would have been a hot couple

What happens at Elohimfest stays there...apart from being revised and extended into legend here on the Watch.

The references in this thread are not so much about 'fest as they are about the Pride Parade in Albuquerque that happened to pass the Flying Star just as the Festers were having Saturday breakfast there. The young version of LZ in a loincloth would have fit in and been quite popular with that crowd.

As for a young DotD having attended long-ago Rainbow Gatherings, you would have had a few fellow-travellers among the Festers. Hope you make it to a future fest...

i think julie and i enjoyed the parade the most. yes the most conservative couple the watch has to offer.

julie certainly took enough pics that no one will ever get to see. (i hate my damned computer)

lorin : 70's flashback! thank you - look at that furniture.

Roosevelt Grier used to do needlepoint. I saw a picture of him in one of my mom's magazines years ago.

i remember that. a big deal was made because he was such a huge, manly man.

i have too much on my plate as it is, but it looked relaxing when you were knitting at the breakfast.

It is for me.

For others, apparently, not so much. I have a friend who said she tried to learn to knit but it was too nerve-wracking for her. She got cramps in her hands from her death grip on the needles.

My grandmother used to knit [heh...she might still be, if heaven is real...she always had to be busy]. My wife did some knitting, but mostly she does crochet or something called "tatting"...it relaxed them both.
But seeing it makes me incredibly tense and fidgety. Come to think of it, seeing other people relaxing ALWAYs seems to make me tense.

But, what I really want is for you, Ali, to knit LZ a new loincloth, and him to post some modeling shots.
