First Date
“This is me on my very first date. The lovely young lady in the photo took pity on me and said ‘yes’ when I invited her to the 1987 Los Fresnos, Texas High School Homecoming Game. (We were in 7th grade.) As you can tell, I’m REALLY happy to be on a date.“

Backstage With Brunhilda
“From 2005. I had just concluded my mesmerizing performance as Brunhilda. Dad was going through his hair growing phase, which turned him into a hippie Benjamin Franklin. Mom was also going through a phase with her hair. And my sister was so excited to be at my 8th grade play that she couldn’t even keep her eyes open.”

Bangin’
“The day before school pictures 1984 my mom was complaining that I wore black too often (all the time). So after making myself beautiful on school picture day I grabbed an old white sweater vest out of her closet and wore it to school. She still was not pleased with my school photos. Wonder why?”

Cabbages Of Our Lives
“This was my Senior Picture and my mom thought it would be a great idea to pose with some of my Cabbage Patch collection of dolls. For some reason, I decided to go with the SULTRY look. The rest is history as you can see!!!”

The Queen Of Dew
“When I was a senior in high school, I was obsessed with Mountain Dew. I would have like six a day, any size. There was never a time one was not in my hand. So for my senior photos, I thought it was going to be a great idea to make a throne of Mountain Dew to sit on. I went out the morning of my photos and bought six 24-packs to build my throne. It took me a few weeks to get through all of it. It’s hilarious now because I don’t drink Mountain Dew anymore.”
