All I can say is, no wonder I was on the fringes of the social scene in high school.
I found these school pictures today in a box in my laundry room. I am sharing them because they are hilarious, and because the '80's were embarrassing.
First one. Me, thirteen years old, 1988.
The hair: I did nothing to it. It reached such impressive poofy heights all by itself. I have what can lovingly be referred to as a Damn Cow Lick.
The shirt: What the hell?
Next picture. Me, fourteen years old, 1989.
This picture is a complete package of utter dorkiness. The hair, dear god, is crimped, I believe. I was really big into ear cuffs at that time. And, I apparently really dug turtle necks.
But the very best thing about this picture are the sparkly lights things in the background. I'm a SUPER STAR, yo!
Last picture, a junior in high school, 1991.
On the plus side, I had really nice skin. Everything else though, is on the UNplus side. My sense of fashion, again a huge what the hell? I recall thinking that shirt was pretty spiffy.
My hair sends me into gales of laughter. I believe I was channeling Jim Morrison, fresh out of bed.
No, in case you were wondering, I didn't have many boyfriends. I had one boyfriend who dumped me at the prom, in fact. That was it. And yes, I was a virgin straight through until graduation. Yep.
So, I'm glad I shared with you. Now go find YOUR crappy school pictures so I can laugh at them too.

I was virgin all the way through highschool too. Don't feel bad. lol
Why thank you. *blush*
I agree with the first comment! You have a fantastic smile! The hair though...kinda silly. I can't talk though! I don't have pics to prove it, but I crimped my hair, wore turtle neck, and peg rolled my jeans until it was way way out of fashion!
Joye, you so pretty. Me love you long time.
I'll have to get some of my old school photos the next time I go visit my parents. I think I have you beat! :>
You're a cutie and I think you have a beautiful smile, too!
JoyeAustin-braving public humiliation one school pic at a time. Glad you got over the virginity problem.
Ha! My crappy high school pictures are cute!!
My elementary school pictures on the other hand.... those might give you a run for your money!!
Joye, I am so gay for you right now, you have no idea.
I totally love you, you loveable, beautiful dork. We would have TOTALLY been friends in jr. and high school. I would have been SCREAMING jealous of your ear cuff and you would have DIED over my Madonna lace gloves sans fingertips. I would hav been thrilled to loan you my green on green and brown striped shirt that I thought was The Shiiiiz in exchange for the chance to wear your spiffy shirt.
And hair crimping? Dude, I made an art of it. You have no idea!
Ah, you are brave. These are great! Wish I knew where mine were. I had "feathered" hair and wore a Bennetton "B" sweater! Very sad, indeed.
