I taught at the University of the East from 1968 to 1979. Above is a picture of me with the younger group of teachers. The photo reminded me of the fashion of those times: miniskirts, long dresses, flared bottoms, ele pants, bare midriffs. I tried them all. It was a pleasure having a hand in the making of one's dresses. I bought the cloth or material myself, I made the design and then brought them both to my 'modista'. I can't say I was able to compete with the other, usually older fashionable matrons in the college who were also always well coiffed and made-up. I couldn't even fix my hair nicely but of course it was thicker then, so hindi halata. Besides, youth is the best style of clothes, hair and make-up. Anytime.
