hellisonStill at home feeling sneezy and a bit bleh, tho planning to head to work soon. For I am very dedicated you know. Plus there are big drinks planned after work for friends getting married next week (OMG!) and I can hardly show up for that if i've been at home ill all day, can I ?
Gotta get the priorties right...
To pass the time while sipping lempsip this morning, I decide to hoke out photos from teh 80s to answer queries on just how big my hair was back then ;p Tho, naturally being a teenager, there aren't that many, since obviously i hated photos...
This is TAMED hair for school formal (like American prom, tho not held in school gym hall. Did UK folk have these?). Note matching purple eyeshadow... Taken in .... 1988. HOW IS THAT SO LONG AGO OMG?
Also found one wearing the chainmail jewellery I dug out for the 80s hen night. From my 18th birthday. So young. SO VERY YOUNG.
I had a group of my BESTEST FRIENDS over for a Sleepover and we watched... dirty dancing I think and, after parents had gone to bed, Rocky Horror! So very Daring. We even had a couple of glasses of wine each! Then, it snowed in the middle of night, and we all ran out side and had a snowball fight and made a snowman and when we got back in I fell down the stairs ;p Good times ;)
I still don't quite know how all that manages to be 20 years ago. Where did it GO? Mostly cider, probably ;p
ETA SO Flist what did YOU look like in the 80s? I feel you should share, now that I have!

Date: 2009-09-04 06:36 pm (UTC)2. ha, i totally support your logic - show up long enough to justify attending piss up afterward!
3. that first picture is claaaaaaaass. very glamorous!
no subject
Date: 2009-09-04 08:52 pm (UTC)2. made perfect sense to me ;p
3. what you cannot see is the disney princess 'curtain' effect on the front of the dress. It was Very Special.

Date: 2009-09-04 09:03 pm (UTC)3. o.O okay, that would be Impressive.
no subject
Date: 2009-09-04 09:07 pm (UTC)I still have it somewhere, I will show you some day! Sadly not *on* me as there is no mission it would fit me now. It would probably fit you, if you ever needed a shiny purple curtainy dress ;p

Date: 2009-09-04 09:11 pm (UTC)middle b stands for "bloody" yes? or is it "bastarding"?
*is tempted by dress idea*
no subject
Date: 2009-09-04 09:16 pm (UTC)Either, depending on circumstances...
I could bring it along on friday, if you're still stuck for an outfit?
no subject
Date: 2009-09-04 09:18 pm (UTC)ha, do not jest, it is getting VERY CLOSE to that point. i had a skirt that would have done, but i last wore it two years ago and it are too small now. and kirkwall is not full of clothes shops!

Date: 2009-09-04 07:59 pm (UTC)I have a team photo from the early 90s where my hair is shockingly similar. Sometime after 12 yrs old, my head kind of exploded and refused to calm down until I was in college.

I feel you should share, now that I have!
That's nice, I don't recall making such an agreement ;p
no subject
Date: 2009-09-04 08:49 pm (UTC)But a verbal description might suffice?

Date: 2009-09-04 09:44 pm (UTC)Might it?

Date: 2009-09-04 11:39 pm (UTC)Which, Sir, I believe you well understood, and are merely suffering from a surfeit of pedantry!
OTOH, I hope that by the time I reach my 80s I won't give a flying fuck what I look like in photos and instead be glad i'm still in them at all ;p
no subject
Date: 2009-09-04 11:49 pm (UTC)(Now that was pedantic)
Still, I'd rather have a surfeit of pedantry, than lampreys.
I find myself in two minds about photographs of me through the ages (as it were) part of me regrets there not being them, but this way I don't see awful images of me.
What I regret is that I don't have photos of friends from days gone by.
no subject
Date: 2009-09-04 11:59 pm (UTC)Well yes, that would obviously be a Bad Thing ;p
What I find odd is that I was so much more photo shy when the pictures above were taken than now, when I looked SO much better. Which is also why i presume that by 80 i'll be leaping in front of cameras ;p
I have, thankfully, may pictures of friends from Back Then, but that may be a more of a girl thing, because on any Occasion, someone always had a camera - tho also because often that someone was me, because if i was taking them, I didn't have to be in them.
