Throwback Thursday: The Looks You Would Just Like to Forget

After stumbling across old pictures of me with really bad hair, clothes, and make-up, I decided to pay tribute to “The Ghost of Make-Up Past.” ( judging by this picture, the emphasis should be on the word GHOST!) I want to spotlight the worst fads ever known to mankind. Whether it was your bad hair, eyebrows, lipstick or anything else you would just like to just forget, I want to see it! Please send me any pics you have displaying a look that you are glad you out grew. If you are so inclined, also include a recent picture that you are more proud of. Listen, this is all in good fun, and believe me I have plenty of pictures I would like to just plain forget about! There were a few with my sister that I was absolutely forbidden to show. I wasn’t even sure where to begin, because honestly I had some pretty bad years. The one thing that seemed to be a constant theme were my heavy, blunt bangs, HUGE eyebrows, (or no eyebrows) and let’s not forget the jet black hair. Although at the time, I thought it looked pretty good, these are definitely some trends I don’t ever want to revisit. I remember begging my Mom to let me get my hair colored when I was sixteen. When we went to the salon I asked for a dark chocolate color and walked out with black hair! I was already pale to begin with, so maybe someone should have told me I needed to wear lipstick or at least some blush with hair this dark. I have not colored my hair in years, I think because I’m still afraid of looking like Morticia Addams again. These pictures were all taken within a two year period, and it’s amazing I even have eyebrows after plucking them so thin! Oh memories, I’m glad these looks are a thing of the past-
