libby- Yeah, that makes me shake my head even now. My mom was very confident in her ability to get out stains from all my white dresses.

Julie Q- Thanks!!

appletini- Ahh so did my mom. But strangely enough, I loved it.

i would have saved mine for fancy parties. haha

littlespoon- I feel the same way about Kraft cheese slices. I INHALED them as a child, and now if I even smell one- my stomach does hoola-hoops around my ankles.

Kathryn- Awesome! I hope you get to drop it at least a few times.

Deutlich- Pink you say? I have a friend that’s the same way. Actually, it’s anything pink, or anything with fur. Her mom made her wear a lot of fur as a youth too. (And we don’t even have the time to discuss the whys of that).

Anne- Ha! I wish. I actually don’t watch Project Runway very often. I did see Sarah Jessica Parker on it the other day and watched it. I love Tim Gunn, I just never know when it’s on… and apparently I’m too lazy to look it up.

Ana- Perhaps I will try it again. But there’s going to be no lace tights. Those babies are gone forever.

AM- Ha! And then I will take a picture and post it on here for you all to see.

Maggie- Oh man, I was ALL ABOUT the hair. But for me, it was just the bangs. Everything else was slicked down and then I coated my bangs with oceans of Splash hairspray. (And to make it even worse, I wouldn’t even curl my bangs. I just … spiked them. Oh man. I’m getting the cold sweats just thinking about those bangs).

Jess- Dude. You should have seen what I wore to school. There was A LOT of taffeta. I’m shocked that I had friends.

Vanessa- I do not know granimals. I think I’m going to have to some research…

bloggingbarbie-Oh Jesus! We could have been friends! The biggest fight I had with my mom as a child involved her wanting me to put my snowsuit on, and me refusing because I thought it made me look ugly. And then, I told her I thought she was only wanting me to put it on so she would look prettier than me. I was like, 8 years old. And apparently, a total hag.

Michelle and the City- And that is what I like about you.

Evans- Extra points because you used the word ‘tatting’.

Bre- Oh man, I loved your comment. And I agree, fabulousness does start young.

violet- Reversible skirt? That sounds cool! (And am I a dork if I’m actually being serious here?)

Armie- Ahh thanks!

dustin- Just hats mostly. And the day he ‘got it’ and lapped up his water from the tea cup? I shrieked with delight.

Nicole- She was a blast. And never talked in third person, unlike 26 year old brandy

Jamie- Aww thanks. See, it’s comments like this that confirm why I voted for you!

Chelsea Talks Smack- Post a picture! Lets compare our lacy getups. Whoa. That sounded… filthy.

Paige Jennifer- Favourite comment! Any reference to Stevie Nicks automatically puts you in my good books.

Sizzle- Oh man, I love moms like that. My mom couldn’t sew but got a lady who could to make my dresses. Sadly, my mom’s lack of sewing skills were passed on to me. I passed home ec class by buying things and ripping off the tags and saying I made them. And that is just another reason I’m going to hell.

Mez- It definitely gives off the ‘pure virginal’ look- perfect for dates.

Tori- I’ve just started going through old photos. You can tell when my parents got a new camera because there will be a ZILLION photos one day and then like, nothing for two years.

MC- That was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

Ablogofherown- Curtains?! That’s so genius. I want to see pictures of this.

Airam- Thanks! I’m thinking of making it my Christmas card next year.

Bee- Thank you!

geekhiker- I know! I look shy yet eager for the picture. Ahhh, what a life I could have had…

AP- See, I went the other way. AFter years of dressing up like that, now I run at the sight of lace dresses, or anything that’s going to require 3 people to help me button/zip it all up.

brookem- I know. She’s a hoot!

Diane Mandy- Oh you are welcome. I wanted to post this baby so you would all feel a lot better about the attire you wore growing up. Hopefully it worked.

Ashley- Ha! Actually, no lace. But he did have a sombrero at one point.

Valerie- What was so appealing about the bow?? Why do we all have mothers who fought us tooth and nail to adorn us with them? These are the big questions of my life.

egan- Don’t do this to Anna.

Rye- Yes, I definitely appreciate jeans a lot more now that I have first hand knowledge of what lace tights feel like after being on for 8 hours.

egan- No worries.

Semicharmed- I don’t miss the leggings or the dress, but the bow in the hair? I wish I could pull that off.

Jamie- I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing this with me. You are definitely welcome for nomination- you deserve it!

Larissa- Post a picture! I want to see other people’s humiliating outfits!!

Did you know you were the first blog I read besides like Dooce and all the those big blogs? Anyway, I nominated you for something too, it wasn’t funniest blog, I can’t remember off the top off my head. You’re one of my favorites ever though! Thank you again!
