City-dwelling, country-raised, joyfully car-free, liberal plant nerd who would rather be in school for the rest of eternity. I'm not a writer by any means so I feel a bit small here on OS. I have no dreams of being published or changing the world with my writing but I do enjoy it.

High School Hair (with alarming intake of breath)

Rate: 9 Flag

I decided that since I got laid off this week, I might as well further humiliate myself by putting up this photo.

And I've been trying to pay back the environment for my overuse of makeup and hairspray ever since.  Seriously, I don't think I have cumulatively worn that much makeup since then.  And what was with those damn Coke shirts.  After that, I vowed never to pay to advertise on my clothing ever again.  To this day I even take off tags.

uh ... i was '84, and i had the guy version of that shirt. oh dear. it's all coming back to me now ... oh dear ...
gosh no... no humiliation at all... you were just adorable. With a smile and eyes that probably melted a lot of hearts.

Sorry to hear you got laid off. Remember silver linings... hope you find something that makes you really happy and pays well, too.
squirrel, you had the hypercolor shirt too, didn't you!! I know you did! *digging through that box in the back of the closet - tossing shirts everywhere because I know that the part of us that thought those things were cool prolly kept 'em around.

the layoff is, with fingers crossed, just for 3 months. but it still blows. I'm gonna get comfortable and fat(ter) and really broke. but I like my job and I'm fighting for it. I'm going through the stages of grief and right now I'm trying to make the best of it. doesn't start until the 23rd.
Oh, that hair is just asking for a 17 year old boy's fingers to run through it! Nice smile, too.

I always wonder why Americans are so willing to wear advertisements. For free.
You were a quintessential '80s babe, katina, if you don't mind my saying so. That is, this could be a screen capture of an extra in any one of dozens of '80s teen movies; a great evocation of the time.
Procopius, if anyone had tried to run their fingers through that hair, they would have gotten tangled up in all the hair product.

And thanks for your tutorial on the html Rob, I managed to do it!! I'm gonna be html'n all over the place now!
Don't be going crazy now!
OMG, you might be stylin but you're gorgeous. You look like an American Girl doll.
Oh wow...OK, *that* picture brought back some memories! I had friends who looked like you. :)
