Pseudotherapy

Apparently FaceYour Manga is so five minutes ago, and now it’s all about Yearbook Yourself. I tried the yearbook thing, and my pics were just dreadful. And not in a funny way. In a horrific way. However, I am here to tell you I’ve WORN some of those hairstyles, and they weren’t that bad. Well, with a couple of exceptions. As proof, I present to you now … 40 Years of SJ’s Hair! Shudder at hideous abuse wreaked upon innocent hair follicles! See her eyebrows shrink before your very eyes! Watch in morbid amazement as her face expands beyond belief! Thank all that’s holy that you never had hair shaped like a disco ball! Oh, go ahead and laugh. I am.

1967: Total helmet hair, going to my first formal dance in 10th grade.
1970: All natural hippie girl.
1972: A shag cut, trying to look like a grown-up.
1976: Flippy bangs and over-plucked brows.
1978: It took 3 hours at the salon to achieve that ball of permed curls.
1980: One of my all-time favorites, a bi-level angled over my ears. I was pregnant with Juli here, and the prenatal vitamins gave me killer hair and nails.
1986: Newly divorced, newly redhead.
1988: Strawberry blonde after two years of double-processing. And I do mean straw.
1993: Back to my natural color, layered and lightly permed.
3/2002: I let my hair get long and gray, but usually wore it ponytailed atop my head. This was a portrait I had done for Juli’s birthday. She didn’t like it.
8/2002: Big change in 5 months! Reunited with my first love and recapturing my youth.
2007: Accidentally red and super-short.
