Show and Tell - The Challenge



Show and Tell

This post does double duty. First, it's my contribution to Show and Tell. Second, Topcat issued a challenge, and I am not one to back down from a challenge. (If someone above happens to read this, I do not need, nor do I want any more challenges in my life at the moment. K? I was just making a point. Seriously. As it is, I could do with quite a few less challenges than I've got already!)

Anyway, the challenge is to find the dorkiest pictures you've got of yourself. Supposedly there will be some sort of a dorky prize for the dorkiest pictures. Here are a few dorky pictures of me during my adolescent years. (someone really should have said something about that hair of mine!)

This is me for my third grade pictures. I got the brilliant idea to curl my hair, but there was one curl that just had a mind of its own. And because I am a dork by nature, I had to take pictures of my pictures because the scanner is in the boys' room, and I am not going to wake them up for anything.

Then I got my hair cut toward the end of the year. Here I am getting a girl scout award. (notice the amount of badges on my sash. I was one eager girl scout.)

And then there was fifth grade. I again decided the curl was the way to go. Maybe I was trying to offset the nice little wave my hair in front started doing when I got bangs. I tried to reign in the right side with a clip. I see now I should have done both sides. Oh, let's not forget the gap between my teeth. Had that until the tenth grade, when it mysteriously disappeared one day. (Did you notice the collar?)

Here I am with my bowling trophies. Man, I was a total nerd.

This is my eighth grade Halloween costume. I was a cat. Original, I know. Anyway, the hair is still a disaster. I have a pit stain going, too. Plus, what you can't see is that my undies are totally showing in the back. AND I WORE THIS TO SCHOOL!!! (so embarrassing!)



Okay, so where are your dorky pictures? Come on, we want to see!

Honey if those are the dorkiest pictures of yourself....then the challenge should be to try and get a little more dorky.
You look great in each and every picture.
Dork this !

Bowling. Trophies.

I LOVE your "dumpy phase" photos. Not "dumpy" as in fat, but those photos that you wish were never taken, because adolescence was smacking you in the face? Yeah those. My collection is enormous.

And I died when I saw your 5th grade girl scout badge photo - I have one almost identical to yours.

Dorks rule.

Kristin said...

You are far braver than me Stacie. I know I could top any hair disaster pic. I have naturally curly hair and my mom had NO IDEA how to deal with it. You imagine the results.

Cara said...

Very impressive! You sure are quick on the draw and I laughed harder than at Topcats!

I wonder how she'll ever decide?

the rotten correspondent said...

I think you look just fine. But then I can't see the underwear hanging out the back.

Geohde said...

Oh, I'm a much bigger dork. I burnt the evidence years ago though!

Wow! They are great actually...and you know what sometimes when we go through these pics, we often wonder about ourselves "What was I thinking?"

Kerry Lynn said...

you are one brave woman! I scanned some photos from when i was younger. I'll find the link and post it on my blog at some point.

Dora said...

The bowling trophies are great. How about a shot in your bowling shoes. I admit, I have a weird thing for bowling shoes. They're totally dorky, but somehow cool, too.

I don't think you look that bad, although the collar sticking up is kind of funny. I had the same 80's hair style in high school. You look very mature for your age in all the pics.

Stacie said...

Malky, I look mature because I was 5'9" by the time I was in 6th grade. I haven't grown an inch since. Plus, I had the body of a teenager (minus the boobs, but the curves were there). In fact, in elementary school, I was taller that almost all of my teachers. Not fun for a girl, let me tell you!

luna said...

these are actually pretty cute, except for the pit stains maybe!

Lavender Luz said...

Well, Stacie, you gave it a verrrry good go. But I think you'll see by my late entry that I have even your pit stains beat.

There may be something wrong with me because I think you look cute!
