RIP Mary Quant, the designer who popularized the mini-skirt

When I was in the Navy, my last duty station was Fleet Weather
Facility, London England. I was there from April, 1969 to Jan-
uary 1971. I was a Radioman 2nd Class ( E-5) and I handled
all the classified weather intel that was plotted on maps of
all the targets inside the Soviet Union at the time.

I remember the mini skirts worn by the English ladies as
being really short. There was nothing left to imagination! When
ever I rode the double decker buses I always rode up stairs (if
you get my drift).

There was little modest and bashful about those British gals when I was there. Riding the tube was a fun experience.

Too often those yoga pants look like a bag full of broken doorknobs. Mini skirts and Nancy Sinatra Boots. What a time.

Second only to Hot Pants. Anyone remember the Southwest Airlines stews (that’s what they were called then) all wore orange ones? Spreading Love all over Texas.

"Well, she went to get in that limousine, and her dress parted. I said, 'Lord, woman, what's done happened to yore dress?' She said, 'I got hot pants on under there.' I said, 'I don't want to know about under there!' " - Jerry Clower

I had a part time job pumping gas for a few months when in high school. Back then it was full service…pump the gas, check the tires and polish that windshield.

There really should be....

...a mini-skirt revival in her honor. And this time don't start making 'midi's' fashionable.

Right on. I had for years a PT job at my buddies speed shop/garage. I washed many a window in that time, some I think I wore a hole in the glass!
