Our Core



This is me, half a century ago (1961).  The funny thing about looking at this picture is how much I still resemble my younger self.  Same eyes, same crooked smile.  Same attitude toward life.

And ya gotta love the decorations on the vest.  I cared about fashion even then.

Do you have any childhood photos?  If you do, we'd love to see 'em.  Post them on your blog and let us ooh and aah over how cute you were.  :)

  4. Oddly, I've been trying to pry some of the childhood photos out of my mother's hands to scan them for the blog. She seems very reluctant to part with them, even temporarily.

  15. I think I've only posted one childhood photo on the blog before, but I have scads of cute ones!! Whatever I thought about my looks in high school, I was one damn cute little kid. heehee Maybe I can find some where I was dressed to the nines in my crazy childhood outfits I put together. I've been saying forever that I want that verve back! Crazy colors and patterns, no holds barred.

    You're right, you do still hold the same expression and smile...so sweet! As always, I can see the little girl in there behind those eyes.

  16. You were one of the cutest kids EVER. I cannot get over it. So adorable. And I don't even like children. So this is a huge compliment.

  19. You inspired me to write a post: http://blog.becklo.com/2011/04/our-core.html

    It's so funny to look at this picture you posted and see that you really do make the same facial expressions now! I believe that's a good thing, though. It means you're consistent :)

    If you have any other photos from back in the day, I hope you consider sharing them too!

  22. Replying to your recent comment that I have good taste: I'm very flattered you think so but really it was the women 30, 40, 50 years ago that had impeccable taste and passed on their clothes that they took such wonderful care of so that they can still be worn today.
