Meet Mr. Squiggee !

Now some would laugh...only the young kids...because they never lived in through the sixties and seventies....the photo in on the top of the blog was taken in the Oregon woods in 1973 of Mr. Squiggee....everyone looked like this.........OMG...and one wonders why my mother was not thrilled...I was just out of college and working in Georgetown at American Needlework Center and Mr. Squiggee was on the move...If I had been a man I would have been there too....but sadly I was a good girl , finished college and got straight to work...boring...although it was fun to work in Georgetown in the early seventies and have an apartment on Connecticut Ave... during the day you saw working people of all ages and the old with their shopping carts up and down the sidewalks...and at night the tranies that lived in my building all dressed up for a night out...lol...my parents worried a little but I am a city girl born and breed and know the rules...taxi's were affordable...good thing I had no car for the first few years ... then a used little Cream colored VW Bug... I adored my BUG more than any car I have had since....I owned more evening gear than work clothes...and could party all night and with two hours sleep go to work and work a full day without having to call the paramedics like I would now!!!!!!!!...lol....
I love this picture of Ken.......aka Mr. Squiggee...although he is now 63 ...grey and with much shorter hair ...I will always remember him waiting for me outside the shop in Georgetown with a red bandanna around his head and a pocket full of harmonicas..(he was so talented playing)...
just thought you would enjoy the snap...
