I showed this pic to my hairdresser, Brenton, and he said I looked like I was trying to be Debbie Gibson. This look does kinda scream "Electric Youth". I love the highwaisted, tapered pink pant. And it's always a good idea to tuck your shirt into your stretch pants, I think. My Fantastic Sams nightmare hair (no offense to Fantastic Sams. I'm sure the girl who butchered my hair in 1991 doesn't work there anymore) looks just adorable with my Blossom hat, doesn't it? That's about all I can say about this one.
Ok, I know I'm pasty white now but SERIOUSLY! I have to say, no updo is complete without a pair of matching tendrils in front, and to show up at the dance without dyed to match shoes?....well, that would just be embarrasing.I saved the best for last...
There's nothing like a thirteen-year-old trying to look forty. Now that I'm in my (extremely)late twenties I can't really see the appeal in that. I was so in love with this picture at the time. I'm fairly certain that, had they let me leave Glamour Shots with it, I would have worn that extremely stylish sequin jacket to school -because that's how cool I was. Except that I totally wasn't. Looking at these pictures I'm starting to understand why.
The current me (well, the current me after someone has blown-out and fluffed up my hair and a professional has done my makeup. I don't go to the grocery store looking anything like that, people.) Is the fact that I can totally see similarities between the two a bad thing!?!
I can totally see Hayden in the Glamor Shots picture! Not the dress-up part of the picture, or the hair, but in the face. She is so you! And every picture of you is sweet. We've all had those....yes, even a Glamor Shot myself! Ha!

Ok, no lie - I wore that jacket when I got my glamour shots in middle school!!!! I'll have to dig up some photos of me in it. We could do a side by side post about it even! hahahaha. "Mrs. Oklahomas gone bad!" But seriously, you were a pretty darn adorable little girl. :)
ReplyDeleteDEAR ALLYSA,
ReplyDeleteIT IS SO VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.
I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. IT IS AN HONOR THAT YOU ARE MRS. OKLAHOMA AMERICA BUT HOW AWESOME IT IS TO LEAD GOD'S CHILDREN INTO WORSHIP. SO MANY MIRACLES OCCUR DURING PRAISE AND WORSHIP.
MY ONLY DAUGHTER JUST GRADUATED TO HEAVEN IN OCT. 2009. WHEN SHE WAS 10 1/2 YEARS OLD SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE CANCER CALLED RHABDOMYOSARCOMA AND THE DRS. TOLD US SHE DIDN'T HAVE LONG TO LIVE......IT WAS A BATTLE BUT WE WERE GIVEN 23 MORE BLESSED YEARS WITH HER.
I WILL BE PRAYING FOR HAYDEN EVERY DAY. I HAVE A DEEP BURDEN FOR CHILDREN EVER SINCE AMY FIRST HAD CANCER.
A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE HAD 2 CHILDREN WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS. THEY WERE GIVEN POOR DIAGNOSES...BRADLEY, THEIR FIRST BORN USE TO LAUGH AT THE DOCTORS BECAUSE THEY CONSTANTLY TOLD HIM HE WOULD DIE....NOONE WANTS TO HEAR THAT...HE LIVED FOR 29 YEARS...ONE OF THEIR LONGEST SURVIVING PATIENTS. THEIR DAUGHTER ANGELA WAS A LOT HEALTHIER THAN BRAD. WHEN SHE WAS 19 YEARS OLD SHE FELL IN LOVE AND GOT MARRIED. THEY TOLD HER TO NOT GET PREGNANT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY HARD ON HER. AT THE AGE OF 20 YEARS SHE DELIVERED A HEALTHY BOY WITHOUT CF. HER HEALTH CONTINUED TO GO DOWN HILL AND SHE GRADUATED TO HEAVEN AT 20 YEARS OLD WHEN HER BABY WAS JUST 5 MONTHS OLD. BUT GOD IN HIS GRACE AND MERCY KNEW THAT BRAD AND ANGELA WOULD BE COMING HOME AND THEIR GRANDSONS DAD DID NOT WANT HIM. MY FRIEND, THE GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDFATHER ADOPTED HIM. NOW 5 YEARS LATER MY FRIEND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH OVARIAN CANCER. IT IS IN OUR TRIBULATIONS WE DEVELOP PERSERVANCE.
I JOINED YOUR BLOG AND I WOULD BE HONORED IF YOU JOINED MINE.
I WOULD LIKE YOUR PERMISSION TO USE THIS PICTURE TO PUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BLOG.
GOD BLESS YOU SWEET LADY AND KEEP UP WITH YOUR PRAISE AND WORSHIP AND NEVER FORGET GOD STILL PERFORMS MIRACLES.
HUGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE
