What can I say? I was bored.
What I’d look like circa 1952. I look like my mom a little bit here. If she had a butt-chin.
Then there’s 1956. The year I wanted nothing more than to wear pearls to vacuum my pre-fab home.
1966 is the scariest one because MY HAIR CAN ACTUALLY DO THIS.
This may as well be a picture of my mom in 1968 because this is her. She said she used those empty cardboard orange juice cans to get her hair to curl like this.
1976 was good to me. Was Sun-In invented yet? Because I sprayed that stuff on my hair like there was no tomorrow. I may look angelic and innocent, but I would have turned on Carrie and poured chicken blood on her if you bought me a cherry coke. What a follower I was then.
This may be the most accurate one from my own high school years if I were still in high school in 1994. Can you see the class ring on my finger that I’ll eventually lose in the middle of a party after Shannon tells me that she saw my boyfriend kissing that girl from PE class who just transferred from some country school? All signs point to me punching her when I got all worked up. Like, totally. I gotta stop hanging out with that creep Mike Damone. Ticket-scalping loser. He’s making me a bad, bad girl.
Mallory wasn’t immune from my madness and since we know high school was all about copying everyone else, here’s one for comparison purposes.
Nor was she here in 1982 with that ridiculous flip. How did you people get your hair to DO that? And why? Also, is she tickling her own chin here? Rubbing a tiny flower under it?
1962 was not good to her. It was downright obnoxious.
1996 crept up on her and made her symmetrical goodness just shine. Shine, I tell you. Denim vest and all.
It’s just too serious around here lately. This was more for my entertainment than yours. But if you want to do it, go to Yearbook Yourself and have a blast, kids.

This too cute and too funny. I am afraid to try it but I have to admit I did wear a flip back in the day.

1968! My hair looked just like that in 1967. By ‘68, I was a hippie, complete with hair down to my bum and miniskirts or bell bottoms.

That was fun. 94 I knew some girls with that hair back in 91. The flip in 68 is awesome, I have some pictures of my mom with that exact hairdo. Maybe if I get my chores done I”ll let myself play with that later. I am a real drag sometimes.

The hair from 94 isn’t too far off from what hair looked like in the late 80’s when I was still in high school–of course it’s a slight bit smaller.
This is so totally awesome. I might have to try this….

*gulp* I did it and created a picture of my mother. Then I found the lost yearbook photo of mine from 1996 that never ended up in the darn thing because I was late turning it in.
Personally, I liked 1976 on you.

Oh my gosh, Girl! I am peeing from laughter! Orange Juice cans for the flip? That’s okay… we used to iron our hair with an actual iron and ironing board. That was way back in the un-Chi 80’s. Back when I, too sprayed the Sun In pretty regularly. I loved that funky color of goldish orange… haha.
