I had a cousin who is about 3 or 4 years older than I am. When she started college they had "hours". Yep, curfews.
We in SoCal were SO chic. My high school did away with the dress code (although they tried to renew it when my daughter was there, the older one) when I was a senior. It was so stupid....suddenly we could wear slacks (which covered us up), but we always wore micro minis. I cringe everytime I realize that we must have put on one heck of a show: walking upstairs wearing the Carnaby street style minis...with lace underpants.
No need for sex ed.
But then I got to college. I heard that just a few years prior to my arrival rushees wore St. John knit suits with white gloves. In Los Angeles...in August...and in those years no airconditioning....definitely the Pasadena/San Marino presence.
