It’s not love that is the battlefield. It’s that dusty ball park down the road.
HT for this hiLARious video: my niece Princess Dani who turns 29 today. (mild language warning) Happy Birthday, Dani! I can remember turning 29…and I can remember turning 19 and ratting the heck out of my hair for my passport photo.
Happy Friday, everyone. I hope you have a great weekend and that you have fun and stay hydrated and that your team wins! Unless, of course, you’re playing against us…in which case, better luck next time!
Oh, the hubris. You would think I were still 19 or something.
Jamie Jo says
Ok, that was hilarious!! (the video and the hair)
I'll be thinking of you while you are at all those games!!
(my word verification is "rockn")
MJ says
I love your hair at 19! GO-R_GEOUS! š Of course you are now too. I just wanted you to know that I love the ratted hair though! š
Charlotte (Waltzing Matilda) says
So how much Aquanet did you go through as a teen? I'm sure my dad wishes he had bought stock. Yeah, that hole in the ozone grew exponentially during the 80's! I love those literal videos! Have you seen the one for Total Eclipse of the Heart?
scmom (Barbara) says
In college, I WAS Pat Benatar. Yup, attitude, hair, I was. š
(You were in, like, eighth grade, right?) š
minnesotamom says
Oh dear. There's a whole series of literal videos? And before this morning I had never even heard of them?
I think I need to get out of the house more.
Or maybe I'm not staying home enough?
Whatever the case, I think that my free time this weekend has been determined.
minnesotamom says
PS. Barbara, I want PHOTOS.
Christine says
I WOULD HAVE LOVED hair like that. Mine is so thin and anytime I tried to get it poofy…well it looked like a thing poofy mess.
AWESOME photo!
Grace says
OH, ho, ho that was awesome! I don't have enough guts to publish my graduation pics or any of my 80's early 90's pics.
scmom (Barbara) says
Will consider that challenge, darlin'. It would require digging through my beloved's old photojournalism stuff, but after a margarita or two I could be convinced. š
Of course the Mac is in the shop so it might be a few days…
regan says

i can imagine you smacking on a piece of bubble gum…the world at your fingertips….ah, sweet 19!

JMB says
As a fellow 66er, you gotta love the BIG EIGHTIES HAIR! Love it!
Grace in my Heart says
