Hello 80's hair and shoulder pads....

80's FLASHBACK ALERT!!!  (almost 25 years ago)

While I was going through some old pictures, I came across some old modeling pictures of mine.  Yes...it's true...a long, LONG time ago I was in FRONT of the camera instead of always behind it. 

These made me laugh for many reasons.  First the leggings with huge t-shirts and sweatshirts with shoulder pads.  And then the big hair and the ever-so-sultry look on my 16 year old face.  Hilarious!  I remember the photographers always told me not to smile so big.  Oh yeah....definitely don't smile so big....makes you look 16.

Oh youth.  I wish I appreciated those times more than I did.  I wanted to be older and thinner.  And although it's fun to look back at the flawless skin and youthful physique....I wouldn't go back for anything in the world!  I love who you become after you lived a bit. 

"All of these lines upon my face.

Tell you the story of who I am.

So many stories of where I've been.

And how I got to where I am."
