School Photos
Madame Secretary
“Although it was nearly 30 years ago, I remember this day. Specifically, I remember putting a lot of thought into the details of my outfit. I needed to look sophisticated, and mature, but like I still knew how to have fun (hence the bolo tie and homemade fimo clay earrings). My mother helped me achieve this look by graciously allowing me to get a perm on only the top of my short hair, and by choosing my fantastic eye wear.”

“This picture was taken circa 1985. I grew up the only Chinese kid in a very small town. I went through a heavy metal phase after being introduced to Iron Maiden from the cool older kids on my block. In an attempt to fit in, I pierced my ear and got a mullet.”

“Cat Vest. Throwback to a time when I just wanted to dress like my teachers.”

“My 2 year old son’s preschool recently did school photos and I sent him in a cute sweater. I’m not sure if his teachers and the photographer completely failed to look at him, but it seems pretty obvious that the intention of this sweater was to have the zipper partially zipped. The unzipped sweater coupled with his lack of smile and messy hair made for a memorable first school photo.”
