Sixties People

Perhaps the most exciting decade to grow up in the sixties brought significant changes in attitudes to society as well as prosperity- popular culture came to the fore and threw up whole new social groups:
 

Girls

Twiggy, Lulu, Cilla, Mary Tyler Moore all typified the new 'Single Girl' no longer a teenager we know saw women as stronger and more independent. Wearing Mary Quant's mini skirt. Jacqueline Kennedy


Playboys

Hugh Hefner introduced us to a whole new world of cool, glamour for men typified by James Bond. Shaken not stirred and sexually active in the community.

Hippies

Unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed... the Beatles had shed their clean cut image, grown beards and long hair and gone to India. Peace and love and flower power people taking LSD and smoking pot and it didn't quite work out did it. Ken Kesey and the Doors and if you're going to San Francisco...

Beach Boys

Beach Boys

Folkniks

Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel types

Mainstream American Culture

Well we still had John Wayne, Lucille Ball; Red Skelton; Dean Martin; Bob Hope; and Bing Crosby.

The sixties had a something for everyone!
