Where do I begin?
- I would date the cute rocker dude who turned out to be a very smart, still cute prof.
Total dumbass move on my part.
- I would NOT date the dude that looked like Rick Astley, just because he looked like Rick Astley. He couldn’t even sing.
I was a dumb teenager – what do you want?
- I would invest in tweezers.
SCARY!
- I would probably not channel the saddest Dynasty character ever at my grad formal (also known as PROM).
That’s HAWT …. if hawt means teased to all hell.
- I would avoid shoulder pads at all costs. Also, blazers and bandannas.
And, that blazer was LIME GREEN. Sad on so many levels.
- I wouldn’t PERM my hair. EVER.
Spiral perms were the dirty little secret of the 80′s – scalp burns for little return.
I could go on for DAYS.
High school was hideous.
This is pretty much how I felt about high school 95% of the time:
Read into it what you will, but many badly satin wrapped asses does not a happy high school make.
Disclaimer: My 13 year old sister/formal photographer thought our asses deserved their moment.
Thanks to MamaKatsLosinIt for the fun writing prompt!

WHO is the cute prof?
No comment.
LOL high school was not my time either. Between bad boyfriends and pinples I was a mess. I didn’t come into my own until I hit college. Now if I could relive my college years…
Yes, post high school was miles better. And I looked less frizzy for sure.
I hated the high school too AND had the spiral perm (of course I did!). But I will not be posting pictures…nope, never.
Whatever happened to real Rick Astley? Anyway, learned form mistakes,moved on. I would not want to go back to high school either.
I forgot about blazers and bandannas! Those were SO ugly too. Oh dear high school, how I loathed thee too. I love how your post included pictures. Good move!
THANKS!!
I pretty much hated high school too. It had it’s moments but really it was a hot mess at times.
You are so my people.
LOL that was pretty funny! What’s it about high school and bad hairdos??
Shoulder pads were terrible.
This is the first butt picture I have ever seen from a prom.
Ha. Butt pics were all the rage – didn’t you know?
This had me laughing so hard…oh yes the spiral perms. I still do not think my scalp has forgiven me for those.
I know of this spiral perm. I had one too and you made my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
And not in a good way.
I loved the blazers. It is the shoulder pads I could have lived without.
But, if you were in High School now, the fashion would be totally different *mistake* anyway. I totally understand on the dating front! I would do that ALL different!!
I did the spiral perm, too. What can I say, we all make mistakes!
Visiting from Mama Kat’s! I love how you framed your photos, btw.
Thanks!! I used the Instagram app!
I remember so much of that 80′s joy though my true high school times were the 90′s…almost as bad in some respects :p
Love that hair!! I tried to perm mine…it didn’t go well
Spiral perm…yep. I remember getting those. For all my golden locks I spent four hours with 80 rods in my head, my eyes stinging from that awful solution. Gah! (And it didn’t even look that good in the end).
Dear God there would be so many things I would do different. Like not get a spiral perm as well.
Oh geez…I applaud you for even contemplating what you’d do differently, because I don’t even want to THINK about high school! Bad hair, bad clothes…just bad.
“Scalp burns for little return”?! HAHAHAHA!!!
found you at MamaKat’s.
Loved your spin on this prompt- so funny and GREAT photos!
