It’s an easy challenge. The Curtal Friar of Fountain Abbey asks us to post a photo of ourselves as a teenager. Somehow I know I will regret this one, which is why I made sure to pick a teenage photo in which I had the biggest hair. (It was the 80’s after all.)
This is me aged 17 at my junior prom:
The full photo (with 4 of my friends) is on my Facebook.
And me now, as in I took this one this evening:
I have hair, it’s just in a ponytail because I hit the snooze too many times this morning and didn’t have time to wash my hair. Not that I have had time to dry it the last couple of days due to snooze hitting.
The challenge is on!
So jealous. I would never have been able to pull off a dress like that! And I really miss having hair long enough for a ponytail. It sure does make those unwashed hair mornings easier to deal with. 🙂
I got that dress from my cousin. We both used to be tall and skinny, and we are both still tall. 😉 I’m pretty sure I was wearing my padded bra from my role in my high school rendition of Lil Abner. LOL
I got my hair cut really short last year for the first time since Thanksgiving weekend 2001 — my last year in the military. I had enough to donate, so I did. I want to do that again, but I want to let my hair get a LOT longer before I donate so it isn’t so awfully short. It is just in the past week long enough to keep in a pony tail.
For some reason I would have pictured your prom dress poofier. I don’t know. Like to match the hair?
But now, where are your wrinkles, your gray hair? you make me sick.
HAHAHA! The dress I wore to senior prom was a little poofier. It was a bridesmaid’s dress that came from same cousin. LOL
My wrinkles have been stretched out by the fat, and I guess you can’t see the gray because of the lighting. Every morning I see the gray which appears to be increasing and say “What the heck? Where did those come from?”
:timeout:
On day I was looking at two very deep wrinkles on my face and moving my face into all kinds of expressions trying to figure out what exactly caused those big wrinkles, which expression do I make too much? Cuz these wrinkles are the deepest on my face, so what have I done to cause it? I could not figure it out. Then one day I was laying in bed (just resting) and Mike had come in and was showing me this big door mirror that a customer gave him. And I saw in that mirror myself laying on my side with my hand palm up under my cheek, well between the bed and my cheek… and I saw a HUGE CREASE exactly where one of those wrinkles were because my hand was squooshing my face like that, and that is how i sleep. :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
I can see creases in my forehead from squinting, and all kinds of lines around my mouth. I can only imagine how that’s gonna look if/when I ever lose weight. LOL
Thanks for doing the challenge. The seventies and eighties sure were interesting.
Did you do the whole shoulder pad thing back then?
😀
I know I did. HAHA
No problem. 🙂
For the most part, no, I didn’t do the shoulder pads. My shoulders were broad and square enough without them. :rofl1:
