My parents had their 50th Anniversary this past summer & I combed through thousands of old prints and slides to make a digital slideshow for the occasion. Here are a few of yours truly, (almost) randomly chosen from all the scans I made.

that last one was taken at the Pompeii ruins during a family vacation to Italy etc. Please consider that I did not deface this priceless statue with a rock-for-a-head - I found it like that, though I did furnish the the mirrored Lennon shades, Walkman & black beret w/ Circle Jerks, D.R.I., Watchmen badges (can't remember what the fourth is - The Cure maybe?).

awwww

also I love all of the ones that aimless posted!

juxtaposing darth vader and batman is a+++++

Yeah, the Aimless ones (particularly the first) are great. And I love Pillbox's last one.

Aimless & Darin, those are some v nice b&ws

JF, had you been my upperclassman, I probably would have annoyed the shit out of you asking about bands you were into and what not, esp. if you were also into skateboarding (as your haircut would suggest). Then I would really have been riding your coattails!

And I definitely would have had a crush on you, so you've got that going for you, too.

I had a couple of boards and I hung out with the sk8 or die crew, but I could never master the art. I suppose you could call me a poseur! xp

I have that Cure shirt!

At uni, 10(!!) years ago. Hand over face.

Which halls of residence is that? Can't be Kingston as it's too luxurious...

That was in the third year, when most people were living in rented houses. I went to uni in Norwich, BTW.

Although thinking about it, that may be a room in either Suffolk or Norfolk Terrace.

Me, my baby brother, and a whole lot of wood paneling.

Apparently I meant business.

Cute!

That photo is amazing! :D

20th century catholic ireland, indeed

I wish I could find the one of me in a sparkly fairy costume and wand when I was about 5. I'm as blonde as anything.

I am suprised I havent posted this one on here, this is on my FB though:

...its pretty obvious which one is me, ha.

I was going to put up a photo from yearbook of 8th grade, me dressed as a taxi for Halloween. Oh shit, never open your 8th grade yearbook.

Yeahhh no one is getting to see the school pix of me from year 8 or ESPECIALLY year 9, when I had braces and a PERM :(

permaban on those pics, would u say?

Oh ho ho.

You guys, I had feathered bangs, a faceful of acne and a Dick Tracy shirt. Braces and perms ain't shit!

I had a puffy top with a home-ironed-on glittery Nik Kershaw image on the front, if that helps :/

Far right, 4yo I think?:

I'm most embarrassed about being photographed in a damn LETTER JACKET - which my mom really really wanted me to wear in senior photos to fulfill her weird 50s ideals or something. Holy shit do I look like an idiot in so many ways here.

Anyway, this was early on a Saturday morning in September of my senior year. A friend lived right near the university and we found this college student completely passed out in the driveway, lying in a puddle of his own urine with a copy of Hustler rolled up in his back pocket:

jg, what college would that man have been attending, just out of curiosity?

people who only post to the what did you use to look like thread

I remember when I was 19 thinking I looked like one of the Wiggin sisters...it was totally the hair + baby fat combo.

Would shagg.

so bright! all my friends wore black, grey, white or muted blue.

Close to my favorite old photo of myself, probably dating to '78 or '79. There's one I'd rather have even more, but my dad had the great foresight to spend 10 or 15 years taking family photos in slide format (and the equally great foresight to have all those slides transferred onto a VHS tape in the '90s): me about to head out for Neil Young's Rust show in the winter of '79, wearing overalls, a plaid shirt, a black pinstriped jacket (just like on Tonight's the Night), a trucker's hat, and work boots. Can't find the tape, else I'd try to retrieve it.

Love how Tuomas' best friend in 1997 was a female clone of him.

I've got to get around to scanning all mine in, but for now the best I can do is one that someone else scanned that I'm in the background of. The only 11 year old at presbyterian camp with a bitchin' collection of thrash metal shirts.

Same shirt, about 2 years later!
