    Wow, girlfriend, you got some great legs going on there! I had some of those crazy styles too. Especially the hair. I’d have to scan some of my crazy pictures and I don’t have a scanner. You sure are brave to post all those. LOL.

    Awesome. Totally. I love when people feel comfortable posting their embarrassing pictures, instead of hiding them away. And, I remember the late 80s/early 90s; by those standards, you were oh so very fashionable. When was the last time, you saw a well dressed person with a spiral perm? We live under the flat iron regime.

    Little Miss - Thank you, back in the day I really did have some nice long legs. Now, they are swollen and I wear leg braces … I really appreciate the kudos!

    Pink Tissue Paper - Ha ha ha … I am flat ironing my hair as I write this. Thanks, I love nothing more than to make fun of myself!

    Hi,
    here via “random” tag from WordPress.

    I was ready to give you some snark, til I read about the braces on your legs. I checked your “about” and 101 things and didn’t read anything about braces.
    Curious.

    Hey I remember ALMOST every outfit…except the one with Rich in front of the tree since we weren’t speaking for a minute…lol…and the last one…since you were up at school. And the favorite hat pic was 1995 because that picture was at my rehearsal dinner which was 3/95. THat pic was taken that day. Man, brings back many memories….. :) Fun pics.

    Going like Sixty - I wrote my 101 things page when I started my blog, and got my leg braces about a month afterwards. If you check out my tags about Ankylosis Spondilitis or Arthritis you should find out more info about my braces … I have no knee joints left and I’m only 37. Yikes, too young to get surgery … and I live in a condo with dangerous stairs … I only randomly bitch about being in bad health.

    Ange - That’s right, 1995. The mid 90s were a blur for me … duh! And, OMG, you never saw the MC Hammer outfit? That’s right, it was senior year …
