Set to location 81

[maypirate]

My apartment looks so clean and nice. It is my goal and a birthday resolution to myself to try to keep it that way as best I can. Come on, life improvement plans, improve me!

My boss called in to say she'd be late because she wasn't feeling well. I'm hoping she just stays home and keeps her contagion at bay.

day 10 → a photo of you taken over ten years ago

Just to confirm that I really haven't ever been very good at dressing myself. :F



By my memory, this was taken at the Central Park Zoo in spring 1993, so I was 10 years old. Behold my mad fashion skills! You rock that electric coat, mini-Amber! It's your birthday! Purple stretch pants! You GO, girl!

See my hightops? They had dinosaur footprint treads. They were awesome.





March 2, 1996, my 13th birthday and Bat Mitzvah. It is one of my all-time favorite pictures of myself.

I miss having natural light come through the stained glass at temple.


Edit:

infinityduck: Joel would like to do things, and would like to know what we'd like to do. Food? Movie? Arson?
maypirate: ARSON! ARSON! ARSON!
infinityduck: Actually it is too wet for arson. Second choice?
maypirate: ...flooding?

LOL! All those colors! Aren't the the cutest!? I looked similar, except with gellies. REMEMBER THOSE?

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

I LOVED THOSE.

God how I loved gellies. I thought they were the epitome of glamour. Absolutely. Sometimes I wore them with kneesocks. :F

[igntethestars.livejournal.com]

I love your fashion xDD

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's only gotten better over time! :F

[soda-and-capes.livejournal.com]

I love how it's totally obvious that mini-you is indeed you!

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

It has been suggested that somewhere there is a portrait of me, aging away...

Yeah I uh...I've always been a bit flamboyant. ;)

[crazyloststar.livejournal.com]

Your outfit in the first pic is adorable, and possibly back in with what the kids are wearing these days? XD

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

GOD HELP US NOOOOO

I was never sorry to see the 80s go, why do they have to come back whyyyyyy

[crazyloststar.livejournal.com]

It's terrible. I walked into a clothing store I used to go to all the time for emergency OMIGODINEEDSOMETHINGNICETOWEARTONIGHT,and there was one...ONE shirt that I liked out of the whole store, and it was still settling.

The torn up, laced, shoulder pads SHOULDERPADS, it's all back. *cry*

[makoelf.livejournal.com]

those actually look like amazingly sweet, taffy purple skinny jeans. also, that is an awesome outfit for 1993. :)

you look great in the 2nd picture.

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

1993, I was the paragon of haute couture. :F

Thank you! It's a very special picture for me. :)

[makoelf.livejournal.com]

if i had a vogue icon, i would use it for you here 'cause you totally belonged on a runway. BOOM.

[http://users.livejournal.com/biggie_/]

Really it looks like the 80s throw up on you

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

I know. It's terrible.

But at least I stopped dressing like that! Unlike some people we know! :p

[decken.livejournal.com]

From what I remember of the 80's & early 90's, you had amazing fashion sense.

And in the 2nd picture, you look like you should be playing a child Scully or something.

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

I AM A FASHION GODDESS.

And thank you! Retroactive Scully-ness go!

Someday we should watch Mad Men, since the 3rd season will be out in about two weeks. When are you free?

STOP BEING DESTRUCTIVE WITHOUT ME

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, all that happened was me threatening to kick trash cans and destructing my intestines slightly.

ARSON

[jou.livejournal.com]

HAY SEXAY.

It took me a second to realize what that second pic was. At first I was like, "wtf is that giant silver thing? Did she win the heavyweight title belt?"

Re: ARSON

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

HEY BABY

...I am never inviting you to a Torah identification contest. :p

[midnightbanshee.livejournal.com]

You know, I find it incredibly amusing that chain bags are in season now. :P

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

Oh nooooooooooo are they really? WHYYYY

80s I don't miss you! Stay gone!

[minigendo.livejournal.com]

What strikes me about the first picture, is that I've seen you do exactly the same pose for other pictures. Made me chortle.

[maypirate.livejournal.com]

I admit, there are some threads that run throughout my life. :F

I've always liked posing for pictures.
