Bohemian = a classy hippie

This is a real live convo I recently had with my physical therapist:
CJ: So what school do you go to?

Me: I went to Brown... It's a hippie school.

CJ: One of my clients called herself a hippie the other day. She doesn't wear shoes.

Me: Wow.

CJ: So are you calling yourself a hippie?

Me: No. I'm more of a bohemian.

CJ: What's the difference?

Me: A bohemian is a classy hippie. I also wear shoes and bathe regularly.

CJ: ::chuckles::

Taylor Gang, snitches. Chucks are my shoe of choice for physical therapy and general gallivanting.

According to CJ, Chucks are a "hippie shoe." I gave him one of these looks for that: rolling eyes To me, they've just always been a classic sneaker, much like Nike Dunks and Jordans. I think Toms has the hippie shoe market of today down pat though. Not that I'm up on that or anything...

A Toms shoe. Hippie feet optional.
