Tie-Dye Alive and Well!

     Tie-dye is alive and well!  I’ve been a witness to its presence numerous times in the past month.  If you’re feeling nostalgic for the 70’s, acid dropping, torn patched jeans days, well then you’re in for a treat.  Perhaps you have a 70’s themed party to attend?  I can help.

     Go to any local, small town festival, flea market, or street fair.  You can find tie-dyed items ranging from baby onesies to scarves for your pooch.  The last festival I attended, one week ago, tie-dyed items were abundant.  Not only can they be purchased at vendor booths, many people walking around were sporting such items.  Is this a blast from the past?  Do only old hippies attend these events wearing and purchasing tie-dyed items? Have 70’s themed costume parties come in vogue?  I’m sure there’s an answer to these questions.  Perhaps I could get a government funded grant to research this and then we’d all know lies behind the resurgence of tie-dye?
