HIPPIES ARE A BAD SCENE (EVEN THE MOVIES HAVE DISCOVERED THEM NOW),
PSYCHEDELICISM HAS LET ITS AVANT DOWN. THE BEL-AIR MATRON, THE TEENYBOPPER ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW "HIGH". THEY ARE TIRED OF THE OLD SUNSET STRIP SCENE. THE NEW SCENE IS EAST INDIAN. THE NEW ATMOSPHERE is mediation, sitar music playing softly over wall to wall stereo, ancient Indian drawings covering the walls, steel sculptures of Buddha hanging from the ceilings, and clothes that are not designed by but because of. AND THE NEW PLACE: Sat Purush (meaning "The Supreme Being") the latest camping ground of the college crowd (UCLA) and the culturettes (Bel-Air, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades style.) Located in sleepy little Westwood Village underneath one of the cities more appetizing Indonesian restaurants, The Loft, Sat Purush has the kind of newness that is bringing the AwareGirls inside its doors. Open only one month it's already the favorite stopping off place for Diane Hartford. SEE page four |
