Love the glasses... My 90 year old great aunt looks exactly this. Also, I think we had that very shirt in my house growing up, it was our couch.

Hey now, those glasses would fetch a pretty penny at any vintage eyeglass shop worth their salt. I feel your curly girl pain- most stylists just cut mine all off b/c they had no fucking idea what to do with it!

I always got "layers" to "show off" my curls too. But are you sure you weren't born a boy and some horrible accident happened and they just raised you as a girl?

Was the photographer waving a loaded semi-automatic off to your left? I guess I would be scared of cameras during this phase as well. If there's any justice, you now go by "Charlize Theron."

You know, I'd love to see what you looked like at, say, 18.... I bet you blossomed one day, if only by learning to smile. In high school I remember analyzing my photo album and realizing that the pretty girls always showed their teeth when they smiled. It was a revelation to me, but I felt too stupid to share it with anyone.

I seriously can't tell if you were a boy or a girl so I'll just call you "Pat." Pat, WTF if up with the glasses?? W.T.F. And a ruffeled shirt?! What were your parents thinking when they let you walk out of the house looking like that?

Wow.....what a hideous dress. It's amazing. And I'm guessing you probably thought it was really pretty at the time (I probably would have thought so too, at that age).

Yep. You take the cake, hon! I was a dweeby kid, dressed funny by my parents, with horrible hair that Mom cut short because she didnt' want to mess with LONG curly hair! But, you, my dear, have probably the worst combination -- immortalized in photography!

Come here. I want to give you a hug. Have you forgiven your parents yet?
Now, I know those glasses were stylin' then, because my sister wore them with her totally neat-o behive hairdo and white lipstick and she was like 16!
The blouse itself would have been pretty cool, but for the strange frilly white front. Why, oh why would someone combine them? Guess the designer was on LSD.
The hair? Well, that's just bad, but so not your fault.
It would have been nice to see your smile, but I can understand that even under the threat of death, my mouth wouldn't form one under the circumstances.
Congrats for having the couraqe to post this. Seriously. You rock.

Although I rated this picture as "seek therapy," I can only assume that your decision to post this was in response to your therapist's direct order. You had to get this (the memory, the despair) out of your system.

Hi, it's me: Kim with the glasses like Mom's.
I was recently reminded that this picture is here, and have read your comments. I appreciated ALL of them!
To answer some questions:
That's not food on the picture, it's rust stains from the frame it was displayed in. Obviously, not a mantel-top worthy portrait.
I did turn out foxy, though I think I really peaked in the 80's. Braces, waxing, contacts and actual hair products for curly hair helped. (No smile: bad overbite from thumb-sucking.)
I also began doing my own clothes shopping in high school, so I was fine there, too.
I have a son, and he had the mustache, too. And got teased, too. So, we bleached it until he was old enough to be proud of being 'stached before all his male classmates. Plus, I made sure he dressed cool -- I went into retail.
I'm horrified that my picture was on the new somewhere! But, proud to be in the hall of fame. One day, I'll let my Mother read your comments, but I know what she'll say:
"Well I thought you were beautiful!"
