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.

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!

<3 this thread so much

Hoos you are the cutest!!!

I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the lol college thread, but either way, what I used to look like is: "kind of depraved."

those are dope glasses I wish I had a pair :(

omg that fringe!

Yeah my bangs were sorta out of control, huh?

I thought bangs were boobs until someone disabused me a few years ago.

Jenny you kinda look like a prettier Linda Hamilton upthread.

ENBB my sister had hair just the same -- glossy, thick shiny, dead straight...I think she may have even had the same hairdresser, lol!

I presume you're tackling him for his lederhosen, no?

I can only assume so. They are pretty sweet.

Oh my God, Jenny! I stared at that picture forever and then kept returning to it.

3 or 4 years old:

Aww, thanks!

damn that pic on the right is 100% "jesse shows you how to live"

you look exactly the same now!

(@ Jesse)

Opened a box a few weeks ago with my senior HS yearbook in it. I didn't really look much like this in high school, I don't think. (For one thing no idea where the jacket or tie came from for this pic, since as far as I recall we had none of those anywhere in our house.)

Were you kidnapped and held against your will at any point?

I'm feeling the striped shirt/diagonally striped tie tho..

More entertaining is this picture a friend sent me recently of the band we used to be in. I'm in the back, in the, um, anarchy shirt. But without a mullet, at least...

(we were called Desert Ice...)

Desert Ice is beyond awesome.

Jesse, you are super cute in your helmet on your little tricycle ramp.

Tipsy, was it a fake shirt/jacket/tie combo? I think I remember for my senior portrait having to put on some fake-tux looking thing over my regular clothes.

I have no memory of the photo being taken, so anything's possible. More likely is maybe something borrowed from a more respectable friend.
