My daughter brought home the packet today to order her cap, gown, and announcements. Since I'm going to be the big 4-0 in only 1 day (OH GOD) I thought of something cool (or at least I thought so #biggrin# ). What did all of YOU look like in your Senior year of high school?? People tell me I haven't changed any because I even have pretty much the same hairstyle, which is now coming back. That's scary. I graduated in 1984! So folks, drag out the Senior portraits! Let's see what you looked like and how much you've changed! #roflao#

Wendy (Tsarina) at 17What kills me is when guys see my high school pictures, and tell me ever so eloquently, that I used to be hot. Thank you, I think...without the used to be part!!

Tsarina, your eyes are so dark! They look almost black. I love dark eyes. And Bailey, your eyes are sooo blue! Very pretty.
No photos of me as a senior exist. I managed to hunt them all down and successfully assassinated anyone who could have blackmailed me with one hidden for said purpose.
My mom has one of the large "portrait" versions on a wall in her home. When she dies, even before the body has cooled, I will have that horror destroyed!!
Sorry, but I was a real dog so I envy these lovely pics!

The most recent pictures of me aren't as honest as I'd like...but I'm getting better! Check out the posts with pics of self. The B&W one of me and Kevin is about as accurate as I can get without showing the world what I look like at 220 lbs. I haven't admitted that to anyone yet....now you all know I have issues and complexes about weight.
My black eyes -that sounds funny- are a result of either my Cherokee or Black Irish roots.

C'mon, don't even try that! You're still pretty! I'M the one who looks like hell #biggrin# . Yeah but I weigh 220 lbs now!! I hate it, but not obviously enough to do more about it. I started walking all over the place this last May, about 5-8 miles a week. I didn't lose a single pound!! I kept that shit up for like, two months. Then it got hot and I got discouraged.
My eyes are dark like that because of My Cherokee and Black Irish ethnicity.

I've seen pix of you CC and if you were a dog then you are not now. No no... I really was. I had terrible acne until I was 25, then it disappeared. Fortunately, I didn't have any scarring. Back in those days, the boys wouldn't touch me with a ten foot slide ruler. Needless to say, I was a virgin for a lot longer than most girls!

I agree! She is NOT a dog now and wasn't then! I really hit my stride when I got into my mid-20's. I lost the weight from having the girls and started laying in the ol' tanning bed and got REAL dark. Of course the way I lost the weight is one I wouldn't recommend to anyone ~ I developed three bleeding ulcers after my daughter passed away and lost 87 lbs.! Not fun. But then all of a sudden after my husband and I split up I noticed guys were hitting on me and I still had the "overweight" mindset and I kept looking around like "You talkin' to me???!". I got all the way down to a size 4 and people in my family were telling me I looked like hell and friends kept asking if I was sick. So I actually had to try and GAIN weight, which was a completely new concept for me. I got up to a size 6 and stopped when my face filled out some. I thought after being overweight for so many years that I looked good in a size 4 but I look at pics of myself back then and I was rather skeletal. My family and friends were right. I had gone from 195 lbs. down to 108. Now I keep my weight between 130 and 135, mainly for my back problems. Don't you EVER get discouraged. If you really want to lose it, it will start coming off when you least expect it probably. That's what mine did. Then it'll just start falling off so fast you won't have time to keep up. It's great when you notice all your clothes are getting big! Oh, and CC~ thanks for the compliment on my eyes. My daughter inherited my eyes and people actually look twice at her sometimes and tell her she's got the bluest eyes they've ever seen. Mine are still the same color blue although my mom's faded and hers are almost gray now. My sister got pissed because she's blonder than me and she was born with hazel eyes and I got the blue! #roflao# My sister and I don't get along, can't you tell? #biggrin#

CC~ Just remember this ~ Guys hit their sexual peak at 18 and girls much later! When I was working at UPS I was 32 and had a 20 yr. old with a crush on me and kept asking me out. I turned him down repeatedly because I was involved with someone and my best friend said, "ARE YOU CRAZY?? That would have been the best sex of your life!!!!!!". I still wonder........ #biggrin#

I am amazed at how many younger guys have come on to me in the last couple of years, too. Nothing at all "desperate" about being an older, sexually experienced woman! I dare say these boys are best advised to work out and eat their wheaties before getting into bed with me!
Those losers back in high school? I wouldn't give them the time of day now.

E~ That is a great picture! You're not at all like I imagined for some strange reason. I don't know why but somehow I pictured you as having dark hair! Go figure. Let me tell ya'll something else too ~ the cap, gown, announcements, and everything that goes with it have sure jumped a lot in price since I was in school. All they offered us were the really cheap caps and gowns and I don't think they were over $20. Now Jennifer's cap, gown, and announcements are going to be around $200!!!! It all comes in a package and the highest priced one is about $700. It comes with a graduation ring! WTF? Whatever happened to just having your class ring? You get it in your junior year. It's ridiculous! They even have a mini graduation ring (sterling silver, of course) attached to a keychain. Then there's a Senior Memory Book and even a bracelet you can put mini photos of all your friends at graduation. And let's not forget the ol' tassel with the year you graduate in 14K gold. It's all about money now. I spent a hair shy of $500 for her class ring!! She kept telling me it would be alright to get the Ultrium ring instead of the 10K white gold but I insisted you only get one class ring so she would get the one SHE wanted. Then Stephanie says to me last night, "Guess what Mom?? Do you realize I order my class ring this year?!". My God! I just got through getting Jen's! Now I know why people say to enjoy the years your children are young because it goes by too fast. It seems like yesterday they were in elementary school and now I've got one graduating and the other is a sophomore! Where did the time go?? #jaw-dropping#

What is "Rise"? #scratchchin# Chicky did a movie after Fantastic Four called Rise...Lucy Liu is in it, and Marilyn Manson has a small role...I've been waiting for it and it is supposed to be out this fall, but no information is coming out about it. Its pissing me off. I live in Iowa and believe me, I'll be the last to see it. grrrrr

You took a great pic! I noticed you're wearing a cross. We're Irish, and I had bought my daughter a Celtic cross with an emerald in the middle and she wore it for her senior pic. When I brought my senior pics home my mom asked me who I got to pose for it! #roflao# That was definitely one of the better school pics I took. They're kind of like DMV pics, aren't they? The one I posted here was an oil portrait on canvas. I want to get one like that of both of my daughters so we can line them up on the wall and let people figure out who's who. We look SO much alike. Since my girls are both at the high school now, they've had some folks think they're twins. I don't think they look THAT much alike, but I'm their mom.
