I have had entirely too much fun on YearbookYourself. People starting dropping these into their Facebook profile photos, and I didn’t take much notice until my friend Laura did hers, and I didn’t know who in the hell she was. So the other evening, I spent some time on the site, dropped my mug into all of the different options, and saved the best. I just put them all up on Flickr, and I’ll mirror my comments into the blog, because again, it all amused the hell out of me. And really, in the end, that’s all that matters, right?
1950
This is where you see the resemblance to my great, great Aunt Bertha. Except for the fact she never smiled.
1960
These were the addled years. A pair of ill-fitting cat-eye glasses contained the wrong prescription, and I quickly became addicted to numerous OTC headache remedies. A paper cut put me in the hospital, and back on the road to recovery. Sans glasses.
1966
Ambitious is the only word to capture 1966; I was the president of numerous social clubs, and had started my own sorority.
1970
Really, my favorite one of the bunch. I was doing it all – running the local PTA, whipping up gourmet meals, and enjoying life as a sub in the steno pool. Tupperware parties on the weekends, and the hot rollers were always at the ready!
1978
Photo snapped in 1978; I was pretty much underground that year and don’t talk about those days.
1984
Greatest wish of 1984? Star in a heavy metal video that actually aired on..MTV.
1994
Rockin’ the Tonya Harding look, along with the “author pose”.
Now. Go do yours. Leave me a comment if you post any!
ETA: I’ve reworked the html NINEteen times and it still won’t center everything. giving up, with my apologies.
yours have been the best i’ve seen. i love your commentary, too.
That is hilarious — I’m going to have to try it. Sadly, I think I really had that 80s hairdo in high school.
