AHHHH just a little flash back of 4 fab friends

OH yeah! back in the day! i had 3 really great friends. just after our senior year was over, we were all 18 , we went to get pictures of us together. I'd totally forgotten about them but Lindsey (a FAVE FRIEND) just posted them, and shared them with me. i have no idea where mine are. anyway. super Fabulouso!


if you look at the shortest to tallest shot, you can identify Lindsey, Becky, Jayna, and ME! yeah i was "tall" .

but NEVER call me Amazon! or you are totally getting the Double Rolling Bird! and not figuratively!

most offensive pick up line ever?

the back story it was my 19th birthday, and i was with a friend at a church Dance. (i was way into those back then)

A guy comes up to me(he was at least a head shorter than me) and said," do you want to Dance? I LOVE AMAZON Women! "

seriously i almost decked him, or kneed him in the crotch. and told him to go to hell! that i would NEVER dance with a guy that called me amazon woman.
he totally backpedaled and said, something to the extent that it was meant to be a compliment, to which i replied "that was before my time , take off looser!"

Never call me Amazon or Big . i hated when guys would say ," you're a BIG girl!" are you freaking Kidding me? The use of BIG to describe a teenage girl infers she is FAT . Unless you say "YOU have BIG BOOBS" it's insulting and even then a guy actually saying that in casual conversation would have scared me off back then. and of course they were at EYE height for the most part. of course the short guys wanted to dance with me.

when i went home my sisters told me that was Flattering in the '80's!

yeah WAAAYYY! before my time.

Coming from another BIG/AMAZON girl, I'm so feeling you. But girl, you were gorgeous in those pictures...and still are now!!

I SO feel your pain! I'm 6'1"! I ALWAYS got the the short nasty guys who wanted to dance so they could rest their heads on my boobs. Too bad I didn't have any back then!!
And what the crap is up with the Amazon thing? I heard that too? I LOVE that you told him off! I always heard (usually from nasty older men) "well aren't you just a tall drink of water." Which I of course replied, "well aren't you just a squatty piece of s*%t!" I LOVE your mouth BTW!! (cuz mine is similar!)
Oh and BIG, that is just painful! I STILL hear it! How I'm just a BIG girl. Well, thanks like I already didn't feel BIG, thanks for telling me I am! I SO feel your pain! I love that you're tall too and understand, I was always in the back of the shortest to tallest pics too. And ALWAYS in the back row and middle of all my class pictures!
Are your girls tall too?

Ruth Anne said...

Who says they like amazon women!?!? First of all, it is offensive. Second, since I am bigger than you, I can kick your butt!

Jenn said...

I've got this noted!!! I promise to never call you anything but crazy! Okay? Just kidding-- you are great! Cute pictures!

Debra said...

Love the pictures. I love looking back at my pre-babies body. ONE DAY I will look like that again.

Jenifer said...

Sweet feather boa and hats! Gotta love the 90's! Too much fun to look back on those days.

I always wanted to be tall!
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.
Love the old pictures.
I remember Paige, Reilly, Alysen & I got pictures like that. We had matching sweaters-Gay I know!

Look at your gorgeous self. Lucky. I always wanted to be taller. Now my girls are TAAAALLL and I'm so glad.

Andrea said...

CUTE pictures! Y'all look SO YOUNG!!! I guess I"m getting old cuz looking at my high school pics I look way young too. hahaha And here we were thinking we were SO OLD & MATURE! hahaha Totally NOT! :) Y'all look pretty too! And still are!!

I did a fun pic with Alicia in high school - wait think it was right after high school. Well, we look super skinny & YOUNG!

I would never say AMAZON! My poor niece is only 11 and already 5'6". Her school mates call her Godzilla! haha I was NEVER in that category. Always been average or short.

Jamie said...

I don't care what people think is cool, what and idiot "AMAZON?" He really had the guts to say that to any girl?!!!! The high school pics are super fun:)

Cecilia said...

What a rude guy...I'm glad you told him off, he deserved it!
I loved your long hair...Would you ever have it long again???

Cute pix! My high school bff took some together, but we looked a tad different...liberty spikes and black lipstick. teehee

Piper said...

wooo hooo! I love flashbacks!!

Mamarazzi said...

all i can think of is the image of Joan Cusack in 16 candles and the Long Duck Don (was that his name) reasting his head on her boobs while they danced the night away.

wait was THAT movie before your time too?!?

GREAT pics of you and your friends?! so much fun!

Anonymous said...

that is SERIOUSLY hilarious!!!!!

Laura said...

Those pictures are SO great. The one they draped the boa across all of you is so funny! I am glad you have the backbone to keep people in their place. Love the flashback!

Kristen said...

Is that Becky??? haha. I have her daughter in my Sunbeam class. What a sweetheart. Love the pictures! They remind me of a picture I had taken with some friends of mine. It wasn't professional; it was in the middle of the night in California in a photo booth. We all look like druggies, but we thought it could be the next INXS album cover. Dorks!

Leslie said...

I guess I am on the opposite side of the rude comments...to this day I still get short comments. Ohwell!! People are stupid and need to think before they speak!!!

But fun Photo's. I never did the group friend pictures.
