First one's too big, but it's only 70K. Probably as cute as I've ever looked.

That's you at 15? You look like you should already have a well-developed 401K.

Yep, 6 feet tall, 180 pounds (or thereabouts), shaving for 2 years. Wish I still had that hair.

At 11, Gravel Puzzleworth looks a bit like E.N., which is a high compliment. Miccio's and CJ's school photos are great. Pleasant Plains looks like he should be in a Wes Anderson film.

Indeed. She's my biggest musical crush. *le sigh*

This is me in 1996, about six weeks after I shaved my head. I'm not sure what happened to the bald pics of me. After that, I decided to grow my hair out.

And here I am in late 1976 or early 1977, wearing one of my mom's housecoats.

Tuomas, a 401K is a US retirement fund plan in which your income is deducted from your paycheck pre-tax, for long-term investment, and may be withdrawn (taxed) when you're old. Some employers match your contributions (mine doesn't, cheap bastard).

Crease down the trousers, braces and a badly-cut mop, I might revive this look:

i kinda like the short hair, barry!
Thanks, in fact my hair was always short right up until my shave head/grow hair out stage in 1996. It usually looked good when it was short, but my hair is so curly that six weeks after getting a haircut, my hair would turn into a giant 'fro. I got tired of trying to manage the 'fro and/or go for haircuts all the time -- plus I was a swim instructor/lifeguard during those years and the chlorine was MURDER on my hair. So I finally said "fuck this" and shaved my head one night (admittedly, this involved alcohol and many drunken friends, but it *was* something I'd been considering for a long time).

Now there's a thread idea, Rock.

I had to google "eric foreman" and I don't think I look anything like Omar Epps.

I think I'm about 18 months old here - in the entry with Mum, brother and my uncle's Hillman Imp. Spring 1970.

MJ's pics are astonishingly good - and how on Earth have I never seen those magical Madchen shots before?!

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 10:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I love Madchen's pictures; that saturated red was a big colour in Jubilee year (though I don't actually believe Madchen was around in 1977).

60-4! They were reeling!

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 10:14 (eighteen years ago) link

They were in one of Mum and Dad's albums. I brought them back to Glasgow on the sly - don't tell! The note on the back says they were taken on 7th June 1977, hence the fancy dress.

Stacey, I will dig out the most evil gangstamadchen picture I can find for you.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 10:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I love this thread.

My favourites are the black and white one of Tuomas that looks like it's directed by Eric Rohmer or something, teeny teeny in glasses, mindinrewind rocking that housedress pattern... and my new favourite patriotic Madchen!

Thanks Arch, I like the b/w photo too, except that I had the silliest hairstyle imaginable back then. But my friend looks good, she's really beautiful in real life too.

Jeez, I've changed so much in the last year - saw a photo of myself of only last summer and I'm shocked by how much sitting in an office and doing fuck all exercise has made me look.
