15 other women got together and we all wore the dyke outfit of the sixties, which was topsiders or weejun loafers, cordoroy ^([sic]) pants, oxford cloth shirts, either a seersucker or a madras jacket, a pinky ring and a Dunhill lighter. And we all wore a skirt over our heads, sort of like a nun thing.
