Between federal, state, and local laws, you’ll be hard-pressed to find an American who can tell you what is and isn’t legal in every jurisdiction. That’s why most Virginians and Americans across the U.S. use their general knowledge and common sense to avoid illegal activities. 

As it turns out, though, many of us are apt to believe something is illegal when it’s not. While things like owning a tiger or serving food laced with poison seem like they should be against the law, that’s not always the case. 

You might be surprised to learn these 23 things are entirely above board, if not everywhere, then at least in certain jurisdictions. Want to own a monkey, walk around topless, or marry your cousin? In the right area of the U.S., there are no laws against it. 

1: Lying Cops

The 1969 Supreme Court case Frazier v. Cupp upheld the practice of misrepresenting evidence to interrogation subjects. In other words, it maintained that police can lie when they’re trying to gain information about a crime. 

There are some boundaries to this law, but they’re case-dependent and a little vague. The Supreme Court ruling stated that cops cannot lie if it shocks “the conscience of the court or the community.”  

2: Owning a Monkey

Federal laws don’t determine whether or not you can own an undomesticated animal. Instead, state and local laws regulate this aspect of American life. 

Many states have a law similar to Washington’s RCW 16.30.030, which states, “A person shall not own, possess, keep, harbor, bring into the state, or have custody or control of a potentially dangerous wild animal.” Monkeys typically fall into that category. 

However, in states like Nevada, Oklahoma, and Alabama, owning a primate is perfectly legal. You don’t even need a permit. 

3: Owning Big Cats

Owning tigers, cheetahs, or lions seems like a dangerous endeavor. This leads many to assume it must be illegal unless you’re a trained handler or operate a zoo. 

While it’s illegal in many states, due to laws like Washington’s RCW 16.30.030, it’s not illegal everywhere. In Oklahoma, owning a tiger, lion, or cheetah is perfectly legal. However, Oklahoma residents who own exotic cats must obtain a permit if they plan to let members of the public onto their property. 

4: Counting Cards

Contrary to common sense, card counting in blackjack or other gambling-based games is perfectly legal, even inside Vegas casinos. There are no federal or state laws that prohibit it. 

That said, there are also no laws that prevent casinos from throwing suspected card counters off the premises. Most casinos train their staff to look for card counters and take appropriate action if they find them. 

5: Olestra Foods 

When fat-free, Olestra-containing foods hit the market, they certainly made an impression. The fake fat reportedly caused all sorts of digestive complications, including diarrhea, cramping, and other stomach troubles. This led the FDA to require a warning label on Olestra-containing foods, and people essentially stopped buying them. 

However, despite common belief, Olestra never became a prohibited ingredient. In fact, the FDA dropped its warning label requirement in 2003. 

6: Refusing Service

Many people believe that businesses can’t refuse service to would-be customers, but that’s not entirely true. Many private businesses have the right to refuse service in the United States. However, the reasons why they’re refusing matter.  

Federal law prohibits businesses from refusing service on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin. Many states also have laws that prevent discriminatory practices. 

Still, some states further protect businesses’ rights to refuse service in certain situations. For example, in Arizona and six other states, pharmacists can refuse to sell contraceptives on moral grounds. 

7: Discussing Wages with Coworkers

Some people think discussing wages with coworkers isn’t allowed. While it may be frowned upon in certain settings, it’s far from illegal. In fact, the 1935 Labor Protections Act protects workers’ right to discuss their wages with each other. 

Your work’s culture may discourage wage discussions, but they’re never illegal. So, if a manager or supervisor tells you not to discuss it, they’re the ones breaking the law. 

8: Arsenic Laced Foods

Arsenic is a known poison that causes headaches and digestion issues. Chronic exposure can lead to cancers, skin lesions, and fatalities. However, arsenic occurs naturally in our environment, so it’s actually legal in certain foods. 

According to the FDA, “Arsenic may be present in food from the environment where foods are grown, raised, or processed.” The FDA works to limit the amount of arsenic present in foods and cosmetics, but it doesn’t require the complete elimination of it.  

9: Baby Walkers

Americans used to believe baby walkers were good because they might teach kids to walk faster. However, in recent years, the dangers of baby walkers have been widely publicized. 

One of the most influential studies showed that between 1990 and 2014, there were over 230,000 emergency room visits for children under 15 months involving baby walkers. And there’s no sign that baby walkers aid children in learning to walk. 

Baby walkers are banned in other countries, like Canada, and the American Academy of Pediatrics has called for a ban in the U.S. For now, though, baby walkers remain completely legal. 

10: Corporal Punishment in Schools

The U.S. Department of Education defines corporal punishment as “paddling, spanking, or otherwise imposing physical punishment on students,” and it’s still allowed in many schools across the U.S. Though many assume the practice is illegal, it’s allowed in sixteen states. 

Seven other states don’t have laws protecting corporal punishment, but also are missing any legislation expressly prohibiting it. That means a total of 23 states still allow, or at least don’t prohibit, spanking and other means of physical punishment in schools. 

11: Spanking Children at Home

Modern American parenting techniques typically don’t include physical punishment, but that doesn’t mean it’s illegal. Though states differ widely on what sorts of physical punishments parents and guardians can use when disciplining their children, spanking is allowed throughout the country. 

Often, state laws regarding disciplining children rely on terms like “reasonable and appropriate force” or “ordinary force.” Some states say the punishment shouldn’t leave a mark or physical injury, but none of that makes spanking or other physical forms of discipline a crime. 

12: Bringing Your Own Snacks to the Movies

Technically, it’s not illegal to bring your own snacks to the movies. That said, you should probably avoid doing it unless the theater you’re attending says it’s okay. 

While there’s no law that says you must buy snacks at the concession stand rather than bringing your own in, many theaters have policies against outside food and beverages. Typically, purchasing a ticket constitutes your agreement to abide by the theater’s policies. So, while they can’t arrest you for bringing in your own candy bars and canned sodas, they can throw you out. 

13: Marrying Your Cousin

Marriage laws vary from state to state, but in nineteen of them, you can marry your first cousin, no questions asked. In another seven, you can marry your first cousin as long as you agree to certain conditions. 

In some states, conditions include talking to a genetic counselor before signing your nuptial agreements. In other states, at least one partner must be sterile. 

14: Backyard Burials

In most of America, burying a beloved family member in your backyard is perfectly legal. In fact, only three states say you can’t: California, Indiana, and Washington. 

That said, most states have zoning laws that residents need to follow before they decide to bury a loved one on private property. These typically give guidance on things like how close you can bury a body to a water source, for example. 

15: Underage Drinking

The federal legal drinking age is 21. However, many states have loopholes that allow minors to enjoy alcoholic beverages. 

In many states, minors can consume alcohol if their parent consents and is present. Some states also allow underage drinking if it’s for educational purposes, and sometimes underage law enforcement officers can drink if they’re working undercover. 

16: Removing a Mattress Tag

The tags on every mattress make it clear that removing them is illegal, but that’s not entirely true. As the consumer, you can remove the tag without consequences. 

Mattress manufacturers and sellers must leave the tag in place. The tag states what the mattress is filled with and government regulations state that it must be present when the consumer purchases the mattress so that they know exactly what’s inside. 

17: Driving Barefoot

Many Americans believe driving barefoot is illegal, but no state has a law against doing so. It turns out that this particular misconception is the stuff of urban legends. 

In the early 1990s, one man took it upon himself to write to every DMV in the U.S. to discover whether driving barefoot was really a crime. They all responded that it was not.

That said, driving with certain footwear that may inhibit you from using the pedal is punishable by law. Ski boots, for example, are a no-go when driving a car.  

18: Walking Away After Witnessing Something Bad 

While many people want to help when they witness something violent or see someone in need, you’re not required to in most cases. Some states, like Minnesota, have “failure-to-act” laws that require bystanders to offer assistance if they witness an emergency. 

Many other states have “good samaritan laws,” which typically protect first responders and medical providers from being sued for offering emergency aid when they’re off-duty or outside their typical practice. However, in most places, if you’re not a trained professional, you can walk away after witnessing something violent without any consequence. 

19: Driving Without Clothes

In 2012, country singer Randy Travis was caught driving without clothes on. Though he was arrested, it wasn’t because driving without clothes was a crime; it turns out Mr. Travis was also driving under the influence.

There are actually no laws that require you to wear pants or a shirt while driving your vehicle, according to FindLaw.com. However, there are laws about not being dressed in public, which could make getting to and from your car in your birthday suit a bit tricky. 

20: Sleeping in Your Car 

Laws about sleeping in your car vary from state to state. Though many states allow you to sleep in your vehicle, some localities have restrictions on when, where, and how long you can do so. 

For example, in Florida, the Department of Transportation says you can stop at a highway rest stop to nap and recharge, but you can’t stay for more than three hours. Pulling over to sleep along the side of the highway or in other locations is typically prohibited because shoulders are reserved for emergency traffic. 

21: Not Carrying an ID Card

According to FindLaw.com, there is no law that requires American citizens to carry identification with them. However, you do have to carry identification to partake in certain activities, like driving. 

You also must verbally identify yourself to a police officer if asked. While an officer can’t arrest you for not carrying ID when you’re walking down the street, they can arrest you for refusing to give your name. 

22: Recording Conversations

According to the law offices of Matthiesen, Wickert, & Lehrer, S.C., several states allow you to record conversations as long as one person consents. The other person or people involved need not agree to be recorded. So-called one-party consent states include Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, Nevada, and many others. 

In two-party or all-party consent states, you can only record the conversation if everyone involved agrees to it. States such as Washington, California, and Florida are all-party consent states. 

23: Going Topless 

According to a report by TIME, the majority of states have laws that allow women to go topless in vicinities that allow men to be topless. However, many localities ban the practice. 

For example, California, in theory, allows women to walk around without a shirt, but even notoriously laid-back locales like Venice Beach prohibit the practice. Or, at least, they did; recently, the City Council voted to allow topless sunbathing for women on local beaches.  

21 Lies Virginians Accept as Truth But Shouldn’t

Dr. House said it best — everybody lies. But what about lies whole societies tell themselves? Perhaps the next time you hear someone spew off one of these lies as a fact, you can kindly show them a different (ahem, truthful) point of view.

21 Lies Virginians Accept as Truth But Shouldn’t

50 Weirdest Laws in Each State

Luckily, most Americans are clear on treating thy neighbor as they’d want to be treated to reduce the chance of fines and jail time. But did you know you could be breaking the law by carrying an ice cream cone in your pocket? These are the weirdest laws in each state, most of which courts (thankfully!) no longer enforce.

50 Weirdest Laws in Each State That’ll Make You Chuckle

There’s never been a moment in America’s relatively short history when we didn’t have at least one major enemy. Often, we’ve had far more than that.

Though many West Virginians love our country, the rest of the world doesn’t always love us back. Our policies and ideologies have inspired foes that range from giant world powers, like Germany and Japan, to smaller but still potent forces, like Mexico and North Korea.

Luckily, time has a way of changing things, and in many cases, our once-enemies are now our dearest friends. We can only hope our current foes follow the trend and become our allies at some future point.

How many of these current and former U.S. enemies can you name?

1: China

According to Gallup polls, Americans see China as our biggest current enemy. Though China is also one of our biggest trading partners, there’s no doubt the country uses economic espionage and counterintelligence to threaten the U.S.

As the FBI puts it, “The Chinese government is employing tactics that seek to influence lawmakers and public opinion to achieve policies that are more favorable to China.” They’re also using predatory business practices, the theft of intellectual property, and cyberattacks against the U.S.

2: North Korea

North Korea has pursued a nuclear weapons program, sponsored terrorist attacks, and, at least allegedly, has participated in the illegal drug trade. Altogether, this makes the rogue nation one of America’s biggest current and historical enemies.

North Korea’s hatred of America began after WWII when the USSR and the U.S. each took a portion of Korea to run under a temporary trusteeship. The idea was that the two world superpowers would eventually leave a unified Korea, but that didn’t come to fruition. Instead, the South adopted a Western-style government, and the North adopted communism, laying the foundation for anti-U.S. sentiments that still exist today.

3: Iran

Many point to the 1979 Iranian Revolution as the event that solidified Iran as an enemy of the U.S. Before the revolution, Iran was a key component of America’s Middle Eastern strategy. After the revolution, which foiled America’s plans for the region, Iranians were seen trampling on American flags and proclaiming the U.S. one of its biggest enemies.

Americans don’t care for Iran, either. By 2006, Americans saw Iran as a top U.S. enemy, according to Gallup polling. Though far fewer U.S. citizens see the Middle Eastern country as a major threat today, it’s still typically listed as a significant U.S. enemy.

4: Iraq

In 2003, America launched an invasion of Iraq, declaring the country had weapons of mass destruction and was part of the “axis of evil,” a term that also included Iran and North Korea. The invasion began with a “shock and awe” bombing campaign and went on to become an eight-year conflict.

According to Pew Research, the majority of Americans now feel the war with Iraq was not worth fighting. The country did not have weapons of mass destruction, and its leader, Saddam Hussain, was not closely linked to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as many believed was the case in 2002 and 2003.

5: Russia

In recent history before the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the majority of Americans didn’t see Russia as an enemy. However, by the time Putin called for the Ukraine invasion, 70% of Americans listed Russia as a U.S. enemy.

Seeing Russia as a foe is nothing new for older American people. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the U.S. began in 1947 and lasted until 1991. During that time, there was no greater perceived foe to America.

6: The Taliban

In the 1990s, the Taliban took over Afghanistan and became a safe haven for al-Qaeda, the terrorist group responsible for the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. In 2001, after the attacks, the Taliban and al-Qaeda became America’s number one enemy, and the U.S. military launched a campaign against them.

U.S. troops ousted the Taliban from leadership in Afghanistan, then occupied the country for two decades. In 2021, United States troops left, and the Taliban returned to power. Though the international community continues to view the Taliban in a negative light, they’re no longer one of America’s top enemies.

7: Mexico

Mexico certainly isn’t an enemy of the U.S. today, but there was a time when relations between the neighboring countries were poor. In fact, in 1846, the U.S. and Mexico went to war.

Though history books often make it seem like the U.S. easily won this particular conflict, it wasn’t without cost. Sixteen percent of Americans who fought in the Mexican-American war didn’t return home. That said, according to the National Institute of Health, the vast majority of American casualties came from infectious diseases that swept the military, not from direct conflict.

8: Native Americans

Though Native Americans certainly aren’t an enemy of the United States government today, there was a time when they were considered the greatest foe. At America’s beginning, settlers and the government believed in a nation that stretched from sea to sea. However, much of that land was already occupied.

In America’s quest to own both sides of the continent, they waged war on Native peoples. These conflicts were bloody, destructive, and ultimately detrimental to many tribes.

9: Great Britain

America’s first enemy was Mother England. If it wasn’t for Great Britain, the U.S. wouldn’t be a country at all.

The Revolutionary War began in 1775 and lasted until 1783. It began as a civil war, in many ways, as most people living in what would be the United States were British citizens. However, France joined as an ally to the Patriots, making the war an international conflict in which the English were enemy number one.

10: Japan

Today, Japan is a U.S. ally, but that wasn’t always the case. During World War II, the island nation was one of America’s most bitter enemies.

Japan was responsible for bombing Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, resulting in a response of epic proportions from the U.S. Nearly four years after beginning the war in Japan, the U.S. dropped two atomic bombs on the country, killing as many as a quarter million people.

11: Germany

YouGov polling shows the vast majority of Americans see Germany as a friendly country today. But historically, Germany was one of our fiercest enemies. In World War I and World War II, the U.S. and Germany were on opposite sides.

Even after the end of the war, relations between the two countries remained unsteady, at least in part. While West Germany joined NATO and tied itself closely to the U.S., France, and the U.K., Eastern Germany tied itself to the Soviet Union. It wasn’t until the Berlin Wall fell and Germany reunified, that America saw the entire country as its ally.

12: Venezuela

According to the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. and Venezuela are friends, sort of. In truth, our relationship with Venezuela isn’t all that amiable, and the U.S. has imposed strict sanctions on the Maduro regime.

So, while America officially says it’s collaborating “closely to achieve the goal of a peaceful restoration of democracy” with portions of the Venezuelan government, much of Venezuelan leadership is seen as the enemy. And, while the U.S. has provided nearly $2.8 billion in humanitarian aid, the money comes with restrictions.

13: Cuba

The relationship between Cuba and the U.S. is complex, to say the least. For a long time, America saw Cuba as an ally and trading partner. However, the Cuban Revolution in 1959 allowed socialists to take over the country and nationalize American businesses in Cuba.

After that, the U.S. no longer saw Cuba as a friend. Even now that the Cold War is long since over, the clash between America’s capitalist ideologies and Cuba’s socialist leanings makes relations between the two countries uneasy.

14: Syria

Syria and the U.S. have had an on and off again friendship since the 1940s. Currently, we’re in an off-stage.

In 1944, the U.S. established diplomatic relations with Syria, but in the wake of the Arab-Israeli War in 1967, those friendly interactions ceased. In 1974, the two countries returned to a friendly state, but in 1979, the U.S. put Syria on its list of terrorist sponsors.

From 1991 to 2001, the U.S. and Syria cooperated on many things, and it seemed like the relationship was improving. However, between 2001 and 2003 things began to fall apart. The U.S. imposed harsh economic sanctions that continue today.

15: Algeria

After Great Britain, Algeria was one of America’s first foreign adversaries. The U.S. fought the African country during James Madison’s presidency in what became known as the Barbary Wars.

At the time, Americans were fighting against piracy which was sponsored by many North African states. While the piracy had been going on for a long time, Americans no longer had the British Navy to protect them and were suddenly vulnerable. So, the new U.S. Government levied taxes and built the first U.S. Naval ships to fight back against the Algerian pirates.

19 Historical U.S. Myths That Annoy History Buffs to the Core

If your teacher taught it in history class, it’s normal to assume it’s true. Ask any historian, though, and you might be surprised to learn the stuff of school history lessons is often riddled with inaccuracies.

5 Quirky West Virginia Laws You’d Never Guess Existed

If you’re a Mountaineer, you might think you know all there is about West Virginia’s history and culture. But the state’s old laws show us that lawmakers once made rules that sound pretty darn odd today.

5 Quirky West Virginia Laws You’d Never Guess Existed

The 1960s and 1970s were two of the most dynamic decades in American history. The Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, the Apollo moon landing, and the rise of punk rock were just a few of the events and cultural shifts that made these eras distinctly memorable.

The icons of the time ranged from fashion-forward stars to stalwart political figures, and all of them are worthy of remembrance. Yet too many Pennsylvanians from younger generations have no clue who they are.

1: Andy Warhol

Artist, film director, and producer Andy Warhol changed the art scene with his iconic style. Dubbed the leader of the Pop Art Movement, Warhol rose to the spotlight in 1962 with his paintings of Campbell’s soup cans. He went on to paint a collection of Hollywood stars in violently bright colors, relying on a repetitive silkscreen technique. 

2: Edie Sedgewick

“It Girl” Edie Sedgwick was a 1960s cultural icon thanks to Andy Warhol. Warhol cast her in several short films, which launched her short-lived and rather tragic career. While discussing the pair on his talk show in 1965, host Merv Griffin stated, “No party in New York is considered a success unless they are there.” 

3: Robert Redford

Academy Award winner Robert Redford was in his prime during the late 1960s and ’70s. The Hollywood mainstay began on Broadway before doing a number of forgettable films in the early 60s. Then, in 1969 he starred alongside Paul Newman in the blockbuster hit Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. 

4: Mia Farrow

From a quick marriage to Frank Sinatra to starring in Rosemary’s Baby, Mia Farrow kept her name relevant throughout the ’60s and ’70s. Though her long blonde hair may have been perfect for the early 60s flower child movement, it was her short, pixie cut by Vidal Sassoon that swept the nation. 

5: John F. Kennedy 

The 1960s kicked off with the election of President John F. Kennedy. Though his presidency was short-lived and destined for a tragic ending, Kennedy ignited a cultural firestorm. His courage, commitment to civil issues, and undeniable charisma made him a beloved figure. 

6: Marilyn Monroe

Bombshell blonde Marilyn Monroe may have started her upward journey in the 1950s, but there’s no doubt the early 1960s were part of her heyday. Though she passed away before the decade could really get into full swing, Monroe still captures the hearts and minds of many Americans. According to YouGov polling, she remains the 47th most popular person in the world, ahead of icons like Vincent van Gogh and Robert De Niro. 

7: Jackie Kennedy Onassis

When her husband was in the White House, America became enamored with Jackie Kennedy’s grace and style. After John F. Kennedy’s assassination, she continued to be a subject of public fascination and went on to fight for landmark preservation throughout her beloved New York City. 

8: Neil Armstrong

Neil Armstrong holds the distinct title of being the first man to walk on the moon. As he stepped into space, he famously said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” 

9: Buzz Aldrin

Astronaut, engineer, and former fighter pilot, Buzz Aldrin was the second man to walk on the moon, directly after Neil Armstrong. It took NASA a mere 11 years to send astronauts to the moon. The federal government established the organization in 1958, and astronauts like Aldrin stepped foot on lunar soil in 1969. 

10: Martin Luther King Jr. 

Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister who became the leader of the civil rights movement. Before his assassination in 1968, he led the influential March on Washington in 1963 and won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. 

11:  The Beatles 

Beatlemania influenced culture on a broad scale. From clothes to hairstyles, it was impossible to avoid the Beatles in the 1960s. On April 4, 1964, the band managed to hold all five of the top five Billboard chart spots — a feat never accomplished before or since. 

12: David Bowie

Considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, David Bowie was a 1970s icon for more than just his musical prowess. His shifting identity and innovative style made him an admired figure by teens, artists, and just about everyone else. 

13: Donna Summer

Some people call Donna Summer the Queen of Disco, and she certainly earned the title. The five-time Grammy winner had fans stretching from youthful clubbers to Elton John, who once said of Summer’s I Feel Love, “It sounded like no other record.” 

14: Diane Keaton

Dianne Keaton is an accomplished film-star, to be sure. But, in the 70s, she also became a fashion icon. Keaton’s role as Annie Hall featured a menswear inspired wardrobe that became all the rage in the late 1970s. 

15: Mick Jagger

No one has moves like Mick Jagger. Even today, the musician and stage star can put on a show, but in the ’70s, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones was a sight to behold. Not only did he co-write most of the group’s hit songs, but he also set the tone for the glam rock aesthetic with flamboyant outfits that somehow never looked out of place. 

16: Margaret Thatcher

Dubbed the Iron Lady, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was a force to be reckoned with in the late 1970s. She became leader of the Conservative party in Britain in 1975 and was elected Prime Minister in 1979. Her uncompromising leadership style made her polarizing, but she certainly left her mark on culture, politics, and the world at large. 

17: Jimi Hendrix

You might call Jimi Hendrix a creative genius. Credited with creating a new musical form that relied on feedback and controlled distortion, there’s no doubt he was more than your average musician. 

18: Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa became a nun in 1937, but it wasn’t until 1965, when her order, the Missionaries of Charity, went international that she became a cultural icon. Her work with the poor quickly expanded from Kolkata, India, to New York City and beyond, reaching over 90 countries and earning her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. 

19: Sonny and Cher

Sonny Bono and Cher began their recording careers in the 1960s when they worked as background singers for Phil Spector. They quickly achieved their own notoriety and became cultural icons in the later ’60s and ’70s with hits like “I’ve Got You Babe.” 

20: Billie Jean King

In 1973, at 29 years old, tennis-star Bille Jean King famously won the “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match against Bobbie Riggs. King is considered to be one of the best tennis players of all time and also is seen as influential in the fight for gender equality.  

21: Harvey Milk 

Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man to be elected to political office in California when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. During his short tenure, Milk helped pass legislation that prohibited anti-gay employment and housing discrimination in the city. Sadly, Milk was assassinated in 1978. 

22: Richard Nixon 

President Richard Nixon held the White House from 1969 to 1974 and quickly became one of the most well-known figures of the time. The Watergate Scandal, which led to his resignation, is still regularly referenced today. 

23: Farrah Fawcett

Best known for playing one of Charlie’s Angels, Farrah Fawcett launched a cultural storm. Her signature hairstyle became a staple amongst women in the 1970s, and her timeless fashion sense continues to inspire today’s glamour icons. 

24: Stevie Nicks 

Described as the epitome of bohemian chic, Stevie Nicks was more than a beloved ’70s musician. Her entire style reflected the groovy, laid-back finery so essential to the decade.
