School Photos
No, It’s Not A Wig
“This is what happens when your mother chops off your beautiful, long, thick, Crystal-Gayle-length hair the day before school photos in Grade 2. And check out the glasses. Didn’t realize I was cross eyed until this picture surfaced 33 years later.”

Librarian Chic
‘This is me in 3rd grade (1985). I loved Garfield, so I have a picture of him on my glasses. My mother cut my hair. The sweater around my shoulders makes me look sophisticated and fashionable.”

Shaving Is Cool
“On the morning of my first grade picture day, I thought it’d be cool to shave my face like my dad. He gave me a fake razor but when he left the room I used his real one and went right over my brows. Makes for a great memory at least!”

Rock Star
“Second grade photo. It wasn’t until years later I realized that this is the coolest school pic ever made.”

Bowfinger
“This is my husband’s school photo from the 1970s. Obviously, his mother had a great sense of style… and humor.”

Recreating the Awkwardness
“I know I’m late to the party for recreating childhood photos, but do the sweet lazers make up for it?”

Layer Cake
“The day before picture day my mother decided to cut my hair… my curly hair… my long curly hair into what she thought was ‘cute layers’ instead I was given an epic mullet.”

The Roach Clip
“I found this picture recently when I was cleaning out some old photo boxes. I think I was in 3rd or 4th grade, which would make it the early 1980s. My parents, obviously having no idea what roach clips were used for, not only let me buy it, but let me go to school with it pinned to my collar on picture day.”
