| Rising to the challenge |
So my friend Martha issued a challenge to post what you used to look like on your website. A double-dog dare, actually. It's taken me a few days, but I'm a down ass chick, so here we go. Not all of my photos are from my yearbook, because unlike Martha, I apparently wasn't that popular :) I am also not as funny as Martha, so the pictures will have to be comedic enough on their own. Mostly, they are.
We started here with my freshmen yearbook photo. 
As an embarrassing aside, I am revealing one of my previous obsessions from this same time period.
I know.
Unlike Martha's journey into advanced poufiness, my hair took a turn down the road to limp and lifeless. The mullet remains, but the length has been reduced. My face reveals my own true feelings about the flatness.
That summer, I saw and fell in love with "The Legend of Billie Jean" and was channeling a pre-crack Whitney when I cut off the last bit of mullet. I feel it's fair to mention here that what you cannot see in these shorter hair pictures is the foot long tail in the back. A blond one. I know.
Later, in a lame attempt to disguise my so-short locks, I turned to hats. Ok, I just love hats, whatever.
 
For my junior year, I rejoined the ranks of pouf. Unfortunately, it was all over pouf and ended up rivaling a 60's bouffant.
   
Those last two photos also feature my cousin/best friend growing up. Because I believe humiliation is a dish best served family-style. Here we are with sweat-pasted-to-our-head-locks. You have to use your imagination a little bit.
Sometime after taking my senior pictures
in the summer before my senior year, I went through a keepitinaponytailallthetime growing out phase. 
Fortunately, my hair grows quickly. Witness the growth capacity.

So there you have it. It was the 80's y'all. What can I say? |

Oh my goodness! I need you to take a look at my mullet. That way you won't be laughing at just yourself.
The scary thing about looking back on the eighties is that their coming back in style. Yikes!
