She's right! Back in them thar days it was homemade, before Vogue, etc., glommed onto the high fashion aspect of the glam look, and it became no longer an expression of one's own inner velvet.
As for me, in 1969 I flounced around HS with a red poppy-patterned silk tie woven into my waist-length hair, wearing a girl scout uniform intended for a 2nd grader, black tights, high clunky heeled mary-janes (truely!!), red lipstick, Twiggy-painted eyelashes, top and bottem lid, and strings of colored wooden beads earned by myself as a campfire girl years before. Nothing that showed up in fashion magazines later as officially and commercially Glam can top that, believe me.
