I was wondering what the town of Bon Bon would be like in the 1960's, the decade of "Free Love". After all Bon Bon was the bastion of sexual liberation in a culture of sexual repression. Would it have become more of a tourist attraction, living on past glories or would it be the centre of the free love movment, just as San-Francisco became the centre for the Hippie movment in America. :curious:

| Considering how BonBon is/was in 1895... I'm guessing not much would be different in the 1960's ;) :P |

| I could easily imagine what Bon Bon would look like in the disco inferno era. |

Disco inferno was the seventies, I was thinking more of the Beatles, mini skirts, thigh length boots and frilly blouses... OH >^.^< YES!!
Seriously, think about it Bon Bon may have become a shadow of its former self, the mines have been worked out, perhaps even the secret society its self has been disbanded or just run out of members, two world wars and a world wide economical depression could do that.
Teenagers are coming in to their own, forming their own culture, values and morals. Some thing to think about.

| If it is the 70s, then that'll be something? |

| Huh, I guess you learn something new every day. Either way, I can still imagine Violet in black bell-bottom pants with a tight yellow shirt and doing the 'dirty disco' with some lucky fellow. |

| I can't reallyimagine Bon Bon in the sixties. It's probably because I picture the inhabitants of the town as hippies. :P |

I personaly thought that at the time it would still be popular due to tales from American and British troops that spent ther time ther durring the occupation after World War two.
Also i did kind of had a story in mind, about how the local goverment of Bonbon worked behind the sceanes with the U.S. and English to back stab Musalini. In order latter take over an Air base and turn it into an air port. But, that was part of a bigger story that i had in my mind, but i thought ageanst it. seens i thought it would be to dark Seens it was spy thriller focused on a former Nazi hunter, now extermly bored MI6 operative who is tired of dealing with leads of suspected communist operatives to only find that they were just very liberal collage students on holiday, and wished he was back to hunting and killing Nazis (that is as far as im going to go with that discription.) |
