This page has been viewed 53184 times | hello old hippy,
I have a daughter who is 9 years old and she is totally into anything to do with being
hippy, except the drugs.(I hope)
she is now wanting to do her bedroom up with beads,flowers,black lights, poster,etc...
she is only nine years old and i don't want to discourage her from being an individual,
but i don't want to encourage her to go totally crazy either.
i've enjoyed my time being "hippy".been there,done that...still am in ways....
so....should i go ahead and encourage her to follow "her"passion or should i encourage my ways???
i don't know how to handle this ..
any help is appreciated..
signed,
help with little hippy...........
It's somewhat of a craze these days to do the room up and to dress up as a hippie. Don't let it bother you, since your daughter is too young to understand much, other than that it's the current fashion. Of course you should encourage her to follow your ways (the parental prerogative), but that is a different matter.
Just remember there are far worse things to be than a hippie!
Peace,
The Old Hippy
| Suggested Reading The Art of Peter Max
by Charles A. Riley II, Peter Max
A few years ago I went looking for any kind of Peter Max book, in vain. Now at last here's a great collection. Peter Max, along with Andy Warhol just about invented pop art. Max's brilliant colors, and iconic graphic design had a tremendous influence on commercial art in the 1960s. His psychedelic posters adorned just about every college dorm room, and embodied the spirit of the times.
Now you can relive that period, and Max's later work, some of it focusing on environmental causes. Peter Max has closely held his copyrights, with few chances to even see his work any more. So don't miss this one. A great holiday gift! |
