This little lady, is having a friendly competition. So, in the spirit of embarrassing myself, Im in! Check her blog for all the details. It's time to take you back my friends, to a time where wearing the exact same shirt in different colors was a super cool thing to do!...
Now it's time to introduce to Kristen Koelle...the high school years!
Senior pics (sorry for the quality)
Kristen Koelle never wore make-up, never waxed her eyebrows, never had a shirt long enough to cover her cursed torso, and was always the "friend"...never the "girlfriend"
Unfortuneatley, I can't find my worst dance pic. You might be able to find it here. I think this is my second worst, my first dance.
Christmas Formal, 1997
I had on AWESOME velvet pimp shoes with a gold buckle that you can't see. I didn't have time to shave my underarms (cause I was running late from getting my hair did at JC Penney!) All in all, I was a hot mess, but I went with a senior! (cool points??)
**Note: I never dated any of these boys, they were all friends. My first high school boyfriend was 2 months before graduation but THAT is a whole other post!
What bothers me the most is that WE LOOKED COOL for those days. Now a days, these youngin's might all laugh but they're just jealous they didn't grown up when wide-leg jeans that covered your ENTIRE foot were cool. Or when sandals that had a 4-inch platform bottom where the bee's knee's (lei anyone??)
Amongst my reminising, I found another photo that brought me to tears from laughter. Summer before junior year, we had a priest/laurel canoe trip down the Colorado River. The week before I was in a car accident. My dad told me I couldn't go and I REFUSED, so we comprimised. I could go as long as I wore my neckbrace the entire time!...and I did becuase i thought, "if anyone can pull off a neck brace in a canoe...it's me!"
So this one's for fun!
