1988 – All About the Hair
Because my 20-year class reunion – the one I’m not going to – is this weekend, it’s time to wrap up this nostaligic trip down eighties lane. I promised a picture and today I deliver. Now, if you actually went to my high school, you may notice that there is no picture of me in the 1988 yearbook. In fact, this is actually my sophomore class picture. I had no senior pictures taken. I didn’t get to pose next to a tree or prop my foot on a ladder with splattered paint in the background. However, when I remember high school, it is this photo that sums it all up for me.I especially like that the whole frame of the picture cannot contain my hair. That is what a serious Aqua Net habit will do for you. If you look closely, you’ll notice the earrings, which are the size of a Texas belt buckle.
And just to prove that I really was a senior, and that my hair maintained this level of largeness, I’m providing a bonus shot – the senior prom portrait. Note the unsteady posture and the squinty eyes. This too encapsulates my high school experience. Thank you, Andre Pink Champagne. And thanks BH for taking that mess to prom!PS – Let’s not forget to pat Lela on the back for not only scanning these photos from her scrapbook, but also cropping and posting them. No easy task for the girl who can’t figure out how to load an iPod.

LOVE the BIG hair! Mine resembled more of a helmet in the 80′s. Yours was very trendy for the times!!
Nice! Are you sure you’re not from Lynnwood with all that hair? :D
Like, Omigawd! It’s Lela’s hair! You look totally awesome, ohmigawd!
Heh Heh…LMAO!
Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!!!
What a brave soul you are!! I’m smiling from ear to ear!
Holy crap. The prom picture! I still have mine somewhere… Me, coming up just below Chris’s ribcage, under the same beautiful flowers, with my own black dress on. Of course, my hair wasn’t quite as big as yours, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. LOVE those pics, Lela!
Oh Julie, Julie! I have your prom picture too! At least you’re looking at the camera. As for hair, the hear before my date’s was bigger than mine, so… I’m so happy you stopped by to say hi! Did you go to the reunion?
LELA!!! I really had to squint to see you in all the hair! I LOVE IT! I am still giggling!
