Lucky Reader Day!

OK, enough with the sad crap, lets lighten things up around this mother. You are in luck today because I am about to share with you some of my cringe worthy teen pictures. They are all worth the title "WTF were you thinking?" and the answer would be, I wish I knew.

Good times.


Here is the first picture of me, all of maybe 14 at the beach. Surly wearing all pale pink was in at the beach? That is my only explanation.

I am also so grateful that my parents worked so hard to buy me wigwam socks in all of the colors of the rainbow because if I had to wear just plain white wigwams, in public? I might have died.

Seriously these socks look like they are eating their way up my legs.
I am wearing a swatch.
Enough said.



Ohhh baby! I remember picking out this little number at the store, and I picked the yellow. Why? Who looks good in yellow? A bee, that's who.

This was actually a one piece number, which is fabulous because it also allows me to wear it off the shoulder even though the flashdance hype was years before. I was trying to bring it back.
Don't get me started on my waist. And why the hell did I think I was fat? Dear waist, please come back, Love, Me.
Nothing says sexy like huge pockets. Seriously, where was I going with those pockets? Apple picking?
Dear bangs, WTF? Love, me.
Here I am at 18. My breasts finally made an appearance at this point and they were welcomed whole hearted.
Especially by the boys in my school.
Look at how tan and skinny I was. What a whore!






Finally, I was about 22 here and I am holding a frog.
Me. Holding a frog.
This is a big enough event that it was photographed.
This is who I had to kiss to find E.



Oh, and these pictures? They will not stay up forever so enjoy at my expense while you can.

Good lord, that yellow is quite... uh...Yellow!
When I look back on pictures of my childhood I always think the same thing. Of course, I'm 40, so I've got several years on you.

I have old pictures of me where I was so skinny you could count my ribs. I have others where I'm wearing my Michael Jackson Beat It jacket.

I would have totally had a crush on you. That yellow is hot! Or back then would we have called it fly?

Looking at the photo of you when you were 18, Bossy thinks it's so funny that you cut out whoever that was standing next to you. Bossy sometimes wishes she could scissor annoying people out of her day in real time.

kristi, yellow? Gross.

kevin, I think the word you are looking for is: awesome.

bossy, we were wearing the exact same outfit. We were in fact ridiculous.

Wasn't that "romper" fun when you had to go pee? Definitely not something you want to wear to a kegger.

You look absolutely adorable...I wish I had pics of me in some of the getups i wore way back when...parrot and rainbow shirts, op shorts, vans, jelly shoes...

Oh crap, I just totally dated myself, didn't I ?

Tuesday Girl said...

DC, I had OP bathing suits and I loved jelly shoes, clogs, stretch pants and HUGE t shirts with the side knotted up, jelly bracelets, and keds.

Brooke said...

I remember my best friend had one of those shirts that changed color when it was hot or cold and the only way to really achieve the color change was to breathe directly on the fabric.

I was jealous that I did not have a shirt like this.

Beth said...

aww. you were cute! And I would guess you still are! Man, I used to rock the torn sweatshirt ala/ flashdance...awww.the 80's..good times, good times.

I could never kiss a frog! My boobs popped up in 4th grade! I was embarrassed I would hunch over.

Kristin said...

Pretty sure I had that yellow romper in turquoise... emailing my mother for confirmation! ;-)

Elle said...
