My friend Kristina is very brave...she posted her high school glamour shots! I love looking at glamour shots...I remember my mom and my aunts all getting them done one night and they all turned out SO AWESOME! Of course, you can't really display them around the house anymore...talk about dated! But they are a fun glimpse into the 90's, don't ya think?I could never afford glamour shots, darn it! But that doesn't mean that there aren't AWESOME photos of me! :)
Oh yeah...missin' some teeth and cracking up about who knows what. I love this picture!
Here's the real glamorous one...Vaseline on the lens baby! These must have been 1986 or so.
My senior picture, 1998...I couldn't afford glamour shots, but I could afford those portrait studios at the mall where you got like 50 wallets for $10. You know, the one where you got pictures taken with that week's BFF or boyfriend and then signed the back and gave them to all your friends...I have hundreds of these from all my friends.
I had a thing for black & white, as you can see. This is me & my BFF Alyson in 2001. Do best friends still take pictures together? It was a MUST in the late 90's/early 00's!
My mission picture, 2001. The awkward arm really adds a nice touch, I think.Needless to say, I am so bummed that Deb didn't go to my high school. I could have really used her expertise and maybe would have some art like this to brag about right now...
...so many regrets...
I think I like your mission picture the best!!
ReplyDeleteYou still have the classic Glamour Shots pose. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThese are still great! Holla! Kristina is right, your poses are great! :)
ReplyDeleteThe mission picture is outstanding. In my mission picture, I hardly have any eyebrows - mostly because I was convinced at that time that less was more. Looking at the picture, I was obviously right.
ReplyDeleteOh, gotta love the missing tooth picture! That ought to be the next blog carnival - posting pictures of ourselves at our most awkward stages.
ReplyDeleteKami got some glamour shots and I was so bummed I never got any :( Oh well...... Those are some good pictures! I know this is about you but that first one of Derek reminds me of Ethan! And the second one of Derek with his little worried happy look reminds me of Ethan too! They are such cute pictures! And yah, it's too funny to remember taking pictures with my bffs. I remember feeling so cool!
ReplyDeleteOh man! Ah! Stomach. Hurts. Priceless... No words. Both ends of the picture set are stupendous. LOL
ReplyDeleteI sadly am without a Glamour shot. It's one of my life regrets... but I do have an awesome sweet sixteen shoot from Olan Mills.
ReplyDeleteI love that you and your bestie got your pictures taken together.
Yours are sooo cute! You don't look like Tammy Faye Bakker attacked you at the makeup counter like I do in mine! AND your hair looks like hair instead of some unholy bird's nest on your head... maybe for a condor.
ReplyDeleteI like the B&W. Very nice. ;)
Ah thanks! You certainly had several pics to choose from! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the uncle Rico pose. So great!
ReplyDeletehaha I like the senior picture one.
ReplyDeleteNiiiice!
ReplyDeleteMy fave is the pensive look.
I hope there are no remaining copies of my senior pics!
That's such a cute family picture. Did the photographer stub his toe on the tripod or something?
ReplyDeleteThat would have made me laugh.
Nice jog through the past. Awkward arm is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love the friend photo. I remember whatever place took our school pictures in jr high came back later in the year and would take friend shots. Always made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteLove these! Still laughing about Deb and Uncle Rico! :) She totally offered the Glamour Shot style didn't she?
ReplyDeleteP.S. where did you serve your mission?
I served in the Ukraine Donetsk Mission from May 2001 - Dec 2002. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE it, the mission pic is so cute!!! And I *totally* thought of Glamour Shots by Deb when Kristina did this! "I could wrap you in some foam, or something billowy?" LOVE it!
ReplyDeletePerfect Arm shot! Sadly I never had an arm shot, and too bad, I have the most sexy-est-ness one! ps. what a wonderful mission to go to!, but you already know that :)
ReplyDeleteWhat was it about friends taking pictures together?!
ReplyDeleteLove the awkward arm effect. :)
I think those are way better that Pictures by Deb! I served a mission too! Where did you go? Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Love yours. Love making new friends.
ReplyDeleteSO cute!! Love it! Stopping by from Kristina's blog....
ReplyDeleteI CAN NOT stop laughing!! I keep scrolling between your picture and Uncle Rico's and just die. I have tears!!
ReplyDeleteI think that is the standard pose for graduation pictures. I have one and both my sisters have the same shot too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit! Love the BFF picture, friends are the best!!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest boy went to Croatia on his mission and my youngest is seving in the Oaxaca Mexico mission.
haha, I love this!!! I just came across your blog and started looking around a bit. Loved this post, and all the pics. Your mission shot is great.
ReplyDeleteI went on a mission to, went to Germany. So, it looks like we have at least one thing in common :)
