Still trying to dig up high school photos.
I went to Lincoln High School. We were the "Railsplitters" due to Abraham Lincoln's widely known railroad days.
I was in orchestra, did a couple science fairs, and Academic Decathlon. I also had really long hair in a ponytail and kept to myself.

Academic Decathlon - never even heard of this! We didn't have it but it sounds like something I would have been into. Not only was I in orchestra but I also had a jacket like a letterman jacket, red with white leather sleeves, but instead of a sport it said ORCHESTRA on the back. Yeah. I was p cool.

oh Jesus, I was in orchestra, but never in my life would I have worn a letter jacket.

I know. But listen, I went to an all girls' Catholic HS. I had no clue what was cool and what wasn't until I made friends on the outside in jr and sr year by which point I'd def stopped wearing the damn thing. Oh it totally had my name on the front too.

It had a big-ass harp on the back too.
*hangs head in shame*
That 60's illustration on roxy's flyer is driving me crazy, I know I've seen it before. It looks very Beth and Joe Krush.

corey, judging from this photo and the ones on wdyll, you have aged perfectly.
― mh, Thursday, 26 May 2011 02:57 (twelve years ago) link
I'd agree if it weren't for the fact I'll probably be bald by 30 and completely grey by 35. Ah well.

My mother should probably have been arrested for abuse for dressing me like her clone. This pics kind of scares the crap out of me. I was a freshman in HS so 14. You can say I was a late bloomer. lol.

i don't know, looking that much like your mom at 14 is kind of awful. i mean, i had big indie-rock glasses and listened to crust-punk, which is equally embarassing, but in a completely different way.
i must say, tho, it is kind of cute. and everyone in that pic has a winning smile.

(i mean, looking like your mom isn't awful, just dressed and be-glassesed like her.)

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
x-post
We were happy cause we were in fucking Mexico. lol.
Yeah it's just the same hair same glasses etc. that freaks me out. I was a really young 14 year old though and didn't really start doing my own thing for like another year after this. I just didn't realize quite how much of a clone I was until I found this a couple weeks ago.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Thursday, 30 June 2011 00:48 (twelve years ago) link
i think given her druthers my mom would have dressed me just like her, too. she would always suggest i buy stuff she would wear when we went shopping. i don't think it was sinister, just a lack of imagination.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 30 June 2011 00:50 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah see I think her mini-me from from birth to 15 sort of made me go off the deep end which is how I wound up with purple hair and dressed in head to toe thrifted polyester stuff a year later. Also NAVGL but in a diff way entirely.
Also why were those glasses so big?! I blam Sally Jesse.

iirc ernest hemingway's mom made him dress like her
― ☂ (max), Thursday, 30 June 2011 00:55 (twelve years ago) link
my mom's collection of Ferragamos and Balenciaga in the 80s would have made me one very faggoty looking little boy. i liked wearing tight Superman shirts and sleeveless things with words like POW on them, at least until i was 9 or 10.

well i dunno if she made him dress like her but i though it was common knowldge/possible urban legend that hemingways mom used to dress him in girls clothes till he was 10! it is one of those things you say and nod knowingly as if it explains a lot about hemingway. which, well, it maybe does.

ice cram revealed at last as leo dicaprio
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 30 June 2011 01:04 (twelve years ago) link
what's eating ice cr?m
i just looked it up on the internet and apparently the most recent critical take is that she didn't so much dress him up like a girl as she dressed him and his sister up like androgynous Dutch dolls. idk if that's supposed to be better or worse.
xxp

apparently he hated her, in any event, not the most surprising information i've ever acquired.

no, but this is obviously a contrarian reading flying in the face of the conventional wisdom that she did indeed dress him like a girl
xp lol you do have dicaprio eyes in that picture jho
