HIGHLARIOUS!

I know that's not how you spell hilarious, but since the following is definitely heightened, I wanted to give extra emphasis to the HIGH part. My sister S put together this picture CD of everyone with millions of pics on it, most of which (at least of me) I wish had never happened.

But to show you all that I actually do have a sense of humor, I have decided to post the most humiliating pictures, because I figure if they make me laugh out loud, then if you are feeling sad and blue, you can check out my page and say, "Oh my, the 80's were mean."

This is me, as a wee little babe. Mom probably didn't know, but lavender is considered THEE Gemini color. That and yellow.

This is, by far, the worst picture I've ever taken. It was the one occasion the whole time I wore braces that I actually smiled for a picture. This is reason enough to not succumb to peer pressure. Or lame ass photographer pressure. Yikes.

And this, my friends, is why I call this posting HIGHLARIOUS!!! See, that hair? Do you know how many bottles of Rave extra stiff were used to create that wave? I'm pretty sure I wore this to the Depeche Mode concert in 1987, opening act was OMD. "If you leave, don't leave now, please don't take my heart away." Aaaahhh, good times.

And this picture was taken about 1 1 1/2 years ago. See, there is hope, I guess, although I can't seem to escape the suit jacket theme...and I don't have a white hankie sticking out and a grandma brooch. Did all of you know that in junior high I was voted most likely to become the next Molly Ringwald? Pretty dubious distinction, especially considering that she really is a horrible actress. But she does speak french beautifully, and she guest starred on Medium somewhat recently, and hell yeah...I'd have one of those!
