At last, my yearbook photos. No witty commentary right now, because it’s NAPTIME. Stand by for that part.
***What you cannot see in the photo above, in which I am leaning on my hand as if utterly exhausted by this taxing photo shoot, is that the surface I am leaning on is mirrored. If that were in the shot, it would have a more truly 80’s feel. Also, the color of my hair makes my coif blend into the background, and rest assured that those bangs are nice and high and very stiff. I could have hidden items in them – things that might have come in handy, like a shiv or a small calculator.
In the photos below I seem delirious with anxiety and joy about graduation. I’m not sure what I was smiling about, really. I was standing at the front of our gym, waiting for the other graduates to file in and take their seats on the stage. I stood in front because I was 3rd in my class, which is why I was wearing those ribbony things on the front of my virginally white graduation gown. My other top four classmates were standing to my right, and I may be smiling because I’m laughing at a whispered joke or something.
I went to a private Catholic girls’ school much the one Virginia went to in “Only the Good Die Young.” Thank goodness I didn’t stay good, but I also thank goodness for my time there. I got some very good friends and the chance to be a complete dork and not worry about what the boys would think. Someday I will unearth a photo of me in my snazzy uniform. Just you wait.
My, my, you’ve really started something. I’ve been checking out all your blog buddies’ pictures and I have to say they are all great. Perhaps you should put MY high school picture up there too!
Hubba hubba!
I think you look beautiful!
But I will say you do have ALOT OF HAIR!
Aaaaahhhh…. 80’s hair! When perms ruled!
See, I don’t know why you would worry about putting that picture up. It’s great and your beautiful. Cool, cool, cool.
Ok, that is not fair. You’re GORGEOUS! My friend Robin says you look like Blair from Facts of Life.
While I am not one to brag, my hair IS higher than yours, though not by much.
Robin also says that the hole in the ozone layer is entirely due to the 1980s.
Beautiful!
A group of terrorists burst into the conference room
at the Marriott Hotel where the American Bar Association
was holding its Annual Convention.
More than 500 lawyers were taken as hostages.
The terrorist leader announced that, unless their demands
were met, they would release one lawyer every hour.
Oh! I had that same hairstyle – exactly. I’d dig out a photo to show, but I’m just not as brave as you. Plus, you actually good whereas I do not! You have a great smile.
You like your sister! A LOT!
I am glad I came back for the post!
You take the good, you take the bad, your take them both and there you have… The Facts of Life…
Sister Christian! Yes! My high school boyfriend’s family used to call me that. I’ll have to scan my high school pic…looks like we are about the same age.
And you’re leaning on a mirror! Haaaa! That is awesome.
Ok, I know you were making jokes about the hair and such, but your photos are GORGEOUS! 🙂
Wow, you look really beautiful there! My high school picture is not nearly as nice as yours!
Hell, ninety percent of the girls in the Class of ’89 had that ‘do. Along with forty percent of the guys.
