Sunday morning and doing some laptop tidying. Came across a once in a life time item: A photo of myself from 1964. I must have scanned it way back in the day when I had a working scanner. I really wanted to post it. For no other reason than to prove to myself that I was once cute.
I fiddled with it off and on for the past three days and I cannot get it to work. Downloads, uploads, jpegs, bitmaps, forwards. NADA! So I guess you will not be seeing that version of me here.
Just as well, I suppose.
My hair is about the same length; that's the only resemblance I can see. My moles were removed years ago. My hair is much darker. The face is fatter and more heavily scarred. My present glasses are less flattering and a dastardly unfortunate color choice. I no longer smile. Not like in that picture anyway.
In that picture I remember feeling cute. Nobody (NOBODY!) ever told me I was cute. Never! Fat girls don't get told they are cute. EVER! Not then. Not on my wedding day. Not when my kids were born. Nope. The most I ever got was a sort of pitying stare from an older female relative who would murmur, "And what a shame. You could have such a pretty face." Was that supposed to be kind?
It wasn't.
