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"

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??

**ClockworkOrange** · 02-12-2009, 11:41 PM

Humph, I want my skinny body back

I 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!

Keep posting them, I love seeing photos of you guys.

I named him after the peanut butter... LOL.

Red, you DO look like Pippy.
Sorry to hear about your photos.

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!

Interesting timing on this thread. I'm visiting with my folks this week and wanted to scan a couple of pictures of me & a longtime friend. I scanned a few more as well for other reasons. And I did find this one of me on a bicycle (flip flops, suicide brakes...):

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.
