Bobbie's Sixties

The Sixties
In the ten years between 1960 and 1970 we saw dramatic changes in fashions, make up, hair styles, music, art, mind sets, world views and the liberation of youth.
We were coming out of the conservative 50's with changes in lifestyles as was the the Beatles' long hair, mini skirts, the "shocking" movements of Elvis the Pelvis, women's lib, draft dodgers, college protests and, of course, Woodstock in 1969.

We start with the early sixties, boufant hairdos and classical styles.		Mid sixties

Description of "A Happening" according to Wikipedia:

A happening is a performance, event or situation meant to be considered as art. Happenings take place anywhere, are often multi-disciplinary, often lack a narrative and frequently seek to involve the audience in some way. Key elements of happenings are planned, but artists sometimes retain room for improvisation.
In the later sixties, perhaps due to the depiction in films of hippie culture, the term was used much less specifically to mean any gathering of interest, from a pool hall meetup or a jamming of a few young people to a beer blast or fancy formal party.
