I read this article and found the photo of the model in the Prada glasses in Nylon Magazine and fell back in love with the idea of Woodstock, and more broadly the feeling of freedom felt there.
Jackie Barg at Woodstock
"There is a famous Woodstock photograph of a woman named Jackie Barg, sitting on the ground blowing bubbles. Despite the festival's notoriety for bringing people together, Bargs's is the lone face we see in the picture. Sure, you can make out bits of other people on the perophery-including a guy seated indian style, reaching up to a standing friend, and a pair of loafer-clad feet crossed in repose, probably tapping to some Jefferson Airplane song. But Barg was essentially alone with her bubble wand in a crowd of 500,000 of her peers, and the image became a visual shorthand for the free-spirited demeanor of the time." NYLON MAGAZINE
