Answer: I took it that her mother's objection was that her skirt was way too short for a young teenage girl to be wearing in public, not the hippy factor.
Answer: Most likely because at the time, Hippies represented the counter-culture, which is/was in direct opposition to the conservative generation of the mother and not something Marilyn would want associated with the Lovells family given their high profile.
