If I Show You Mine...Will You Show Me Yours? I Dare Ya!

By
Home Stager with Sharon Tara Transformations

This past weekend my husband was going through old digital photos on our computer.  After finding a few "what the heck was I thinking" photos, I thought it might be fun to put a dare out there in the Rain.

I'm brave (or crazy) enough to post a picture of myself from 1989, are you willing to put yourself out there with me?

What did you look like in the eighties?  It really wasn't a very attractive decade.  Permed hair, shoulder pads, high top sneakers, banana clips, legwarmers, and neon colors were just a few of the trends.

Well, as promised...

Sharon 1989Here I am with my bad eighties perm.

Now it is your turn...lets see what 1980's fashion trend you can represent!

UPDATE:  1978 photo added in comment section

Debi  At least you admit you're a coward!  Thanks for commenting anyways.

Elaine  Don't you hate it when that happens!!  Well, the good news is those pictures from the seventies weren't lost!

I need to find one...I know I have one, maybe tomorrow.  The 80's was not a kind era.

Cheryl   You could at least try to be more convincing with your disappointment!  The "God Bless" was nice though!

Virginia  How very considerate of you, I appreciate that!

Sharon!  Your bravery dazzles me!  We won't go there with our photos - lol!  And, your organization skills are to be admired too:  "my husband was going through old digital photos on our computer" 
Our family photos are in shoe boxes on the shelves of our family room!  Fun post!  Margaret

OK, Sharon! I lied about the fire. The sad thing is if you want to see me with 80's hair, I could put any number of pictures on here from the 80's, 90's and beyond! Big hair and I have been friends for a long time. So, here is one from 1982, when I took my Farrah Fawcett hairdo and added an 80's curl!

Margaret  Thanks!  I am very organized with my photos, but the photos my husband was looking at were photos he put on the computer, not me. 

Elaine  Wow, that is a lot of hair!!  Thanks for rethinking your participation.  Now that didn't hurt much did it?  Thanks for including the photo!!
