Take Me Back - Senior Year Hippy


Welcome to Take Me Back Tuesday! You can participate and/or check out other Take Me Back Tuesday posts at A Giveaway Addicted Mommy.
I am going for more pictures of me in high school at the request of one of my old students (now an adult who reads my blog). I'm glad I did because I realized I cannot find many of my old albums. I'll have to start looking. So I first give you a picture of me as a sophomore. Typical 80's hair (although it was 1990). I had stick straight hair so really had to work at getting any sort of height....and with as much effort it took me to get the bangs high, I guess I didn't have any left for the rest of the hair. Funny. I know. So I was typical in 10th grade but something my junior year really turned me around. I'm not sure how it happened but by my senior year I was trying to channel a hippy. Long straight hair, beads, tie-dye, not much make-up, everything Jim Morrison. Oh my! I was against the grain.

I'm sure my bangs were tired of being man handled, but looking at this picture it seems that my 3 year old could have cut better bangs. This was right after a homecoming Mountain Dew slamming contest. Fun stuff. Don't try this at home!

And after all this bang talk, it is no wonder that now I have bang phobia. AND I can stop wondering what my real hair color is. It has been so long.

So let's see some of your old pictures! I dare you :)

  3. You have to wonder what all that aerosol harispray did to the ozone layer - Maybe that is what caused global warming? LOL

    Keep 'em coming! I look forward to seeing what else you've got hiding. I think I will have to dig out the yearbooks too!

  4. Oh my... I think I have a picture with the EXACT same hair style...you know, the one where you hold the can of hairspray about an inch away....and then spray while the hair dryer is on until it stands straight up!!!
