Mimi's brings to mind a song I have on an album somewhere: Kate & Anna McGarrigle, "Dancer with bruised knees". ;) Although the song is more about that falling-on-head-after-flying-through-the-air phenomenon that Bruno mentioned. Great picture, Bruno! We don't have any like that because my Mom was always too slow, checking and rechecking the light, the distance, the shutter settings. We used to tease her that even the stones we sat on would get up and leave by the time she was ready to snap the picture.
Duck, I had scrapes on my knees constantly until I was about 7 years old. I was not very coordinated, that's why they put me in ballet school. It was either that or BRACES!
One of my favorite pictures- me at about 3 years old I think? My papa kissing me. Sadly, less than 2 years later he was gone from cancer...but i remember him so well, remember playing with him and adoring him, I even remember his voice! :o

This is me and my dog Skippy, ca. 1980. I am wearing my new Zipps, which my mom got from Zayre's.

Oh wow, I used to have a rainbow shirt like that. I can't remember if the background was navy, though.
What a lovely time warp/fashion and decorating extravaganza! (let me decorate that in pink)
I could go home and scan myself in my palestinian scarf, mousy short hair and braces. A must-have of the 80s'. Give me a week or so.
I had white platform dress shoes from Zayre's. They were hideous, but I HAD to have them! I also had a rainbow shirt and a rainbow dress. I wore the dress to 8th grade graduation, with my first high heels. I was going for "foxy" :D.Quote:

Well, it's really good that this thread happened, because it made me venture into the dreaded basement, where I discovered a leak had nearly ruined all of my pictures. But, I was able to take digital pics of a lot of them, so all is not lost! They came out pretty good, too.
Here's me in 1972 @ 5 years old. I told you I looked like Pipi.
you look like your AVATAR!~! Rhodie!
I think it's cute that a dog can be named skippy..Did you know about Skippy the kangaroo at the time??
Humph, I want my skinny body back http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3375/...2eef765459.jpg :rolleyes:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3505/...eae22e712c.jpgI think nearly everytime there was a photo with me eating an ice cream, I had always dropped mine......note ice cream on the sand! :( Oh yes, that's me on the left.
AND how I hated bows in my hair, yuck! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3388/...b7f65bac0d.jpg
Keep posting them, I love seeing photos of you guys.
Clock
I named him after the peanut butter... LOL.Quote:

Third grade with teeth :D
My mother made that dress. I loved it.
That open bulkhead looks like an accident waiting to happen!
OMG, Zen, dotted swiss! I loved my yellow dotted swiss dress, too!Quote:

And here's a glamour shot. I don't think I've looked this good since. I now have to pay for that blonde hair.

OK, finally getting around to this. Since I can't figure out how to put the text under the photos (it's just been an hour project for us to scan them, as something was not working), here's the info.
The one with binoculars: I was 4 and it's in front of Plymouth Rock. Yes, it's just a rock encased in a gate. 1957
The one with me and my 2 friends at the skating rink is on my 8th birthday. i was heavily into skating, lessons, etc 1962
Then, there's a picture of me and my boyfriend, where I am in a long dress. God, how did I get my hair that straight? That's in my junior year of HS, 1970, at my sorority formal on the Queen Elizabeth in Ft.Lauderdale. Well, it was really a Jewish youth group (BBYO), but in the south it became sorority-like.
The one with me in the fancy dress and white gloves is in 1966. I was going to someone's Bar Mitzvah party. I loved that dress. My dad bought it for me on a business trip to Dallas, at Neiman Marcus (they weren't in the east back then).
Then, there's one of me in 8th grade, looking very modish, with my grandparents and my brother who was 3 in the background. 1967.
The white dress.
The gloves.
Gramma's coat!
The goofy brother!
Wow.
I kinda like G-Ma's coat :p
Actually, I think it was a Maremekko dress, which was a popular "artsy" brand that was sold in Harvard Square.
The white dress had a pink part on the top. It's just hard to see. I wore that dress to my senior prom, too.
Too fun. These are a couple I had scanned for my older sister's xmas present a couple years back. The first one is about 6th grade, I believe that was last day of school.
Number two is 7 or 8th grade (around 78 or 79). All my fillings showing!
And last, I have no idea -- I must be about 7 or 8 here - -I don't remember the trip.
Hm, JesVetMed you haven't changed a bit!
and Crankin, looks like you hated getting your picture taken.
Here's one of me, dated 1964, while we lived in France, although you can't tell by the photo. Not sure what I was studying so intently...
I still hate having my picture taken, although now it's because I end up looking like I have a crooked face and other assorted deformities.
But mostly I was just being a moody and bi***y teenager in those pictures.
Jesvet, you look like you were a really happy kid!
I think she looks so happy because she was playing dirty tricks on someone :DQuote:

She nearly freaked because she also has a photo of herself and sis on 2 separate bikes in Wildwood NJ.
And, just as you did a painting of Obama, she recently sold her handmade soaps, of which 1 of the designs is Obama's face.
She lives in New Mexico, raises goats, sells her own line of handmade soaps. I don't know her personally.
This is the oldest picture I can find of me right now. I need to do some scanning.

Yes, that's me too!
Someone just sent my 8th grade class picture to me! Oh MY! Were we groovy or what?!?!?!?!
I remember every name except one...I'm the one in the baby blue three piece suit near the center

Was there a big sale on pink suits that year? :DQuote:
