LOVE THIS. Ginsberg + the Vietnam War counter-protest (fitting, since he was a Columbia grad) + 1950s New York.

So true of hipsters even today.

“Lounging in the psychedelically painted doorway of the Electric Circus, a discothèque in New Yorks East Village hippie district, a girl wears a feathered garter ($7) which goes with her Indian-style headband ($5), like the star dress ($26) they come from discothèque’s boutique.” (link)

In today’s prices:
Feathered garter: $45.20
Headband: $32.28
Star Dress: $167.87

The federal minimum wage in 1967 was $1.40/hour (link.) You had to be pretty well-off to be a NYC hippie.

I love him.
