Question 5
When you look back on pictures of yourself, what age are you most embarrassed about?
Hard to say…
EverydaySuperGoddess - Wait... how old am I now?
Mir - Um, which age am I NOT embarrassed about? Though the year I cut my own bangs (6th or 7th grade, I think) was a real winner....
The 80s were AWESOME!
Buffi - Right now. I need to lose weight and get a haircut. Of course there was college: big 80's hair, 80's make-up, shoulder pads!...but damn, I was hot!
Mary - The junior high years of puberty, zits, and braces. Yuck. What did you think I was going to say? The rock goddess years? C'mon now, big hair, blue eyeshadow, and zebra print pants? That was an unbeatable combination!
The 80s were NOT AWESOME!
Jelly Anything from the 80s. Molly Ringwald was my idol. Enough said about that.
Holli - That would be called "the 80's." I think I involved my hair, wardrobe and makeup in every bad trend that shamed us in that decade. One of the worst things about taking people to my Mom and Dad's home is knowing that they will inevitably see pictorial proof of this
Barbex - Anybody remember the 80's? The colors, the hair, the gigantic earrings
Lin - Without fail, almost every picture of me in the 80s (so I'm in my 30s). I made it through the 50s, 60s and 70s with ease, but the 80s snagged me and made me look dumber and cheaper than dirt. I have no idea what happened, but suspect it was a cross between not having much money and some pretty nasty fashions.
Ah, puberty.
Allison - Pretty much every thing between 11 and 14...even got one of 'em posted on my blog for proof.
Mazeway The 9th grade mullet. Verrrry awkward.
Carmen just like everyone else - as a preteen. I recently uncovered a picture of myself wearing a peach dress with burgundy tights and granny boots.
Jenijen Fifteen was bad. In my defense, it was 1985.
ishouldbeworking 12 to 14
Eulallia If anyone DOESN'T answer Jr High for this question, there is something wrong with you.
Maryanne It would be those ugly years between 13 and 16 years of age.
Elementary, my dear.
Mother Goose Mouse Third grade through sixth grade
Home Perms Gone Awry
Summer Definitely age 12, the Year of the Home Perm Gone Horribly, Miserably Awry
Sleepless Mama Age 12, right after I got my ill-advised perm.
Glowing, my ass.
Jill Miller Zimon Any age during which I was pregnant - I just don't think I was one of those glowy pregnant women.
cmhl The butt-naked pictures I took the day before my children were sliced out of my body. Only those with a strong constitution can view them without getting violently ill, or immediately falling to their knees thanking God that it was me and not them.

Michael-Jackson-curly-bangs, sideburns (on a girl! I know!), crooked teeth, and stick-out ears: such was my fourth-grade school picture. It didn't help that I was wearing some frilly blouse that belonged on an elder along with some neon-pink hair thingy.

Pictures a co-worker took at an office get together when I was drinking a shot, hands-free, named after a certain sexual act that some people don't think it's sex because it's "oral" or whatever. Oh yeah! I was also drunk at the time too.

I was tipped over, after falling off a cooler when we were camping and drinking flaming Dr. Peppers...a lethal combination! Drunk + No shower = EW.
