Researcher Katie Kelly decided to disguise herself as a hippie wearing, in various combinations, faded old Nebraska Levi's, a red minidress and an unwashed London Fog raincoat. Surveying Galahad's Pad in the East Village for color picture possibilities, Andrea Svedberg had her arms ornamented hippie style with Day-Glo paints.
