Only Fair



It only seemed fair to update this with an additional photo of my sister. We spent many afternoons together outside the orthodontist's building waiting for mom to pick us up. Subsequently, we had very nice pointy, shaved on the cement ends of our toothbrushes.

Don't we look so much alike?


I wore my retainer religiously until I misplaced it years ago. It doesn't seem to have done much damage that I can see. However, I have one permanently affixed to the back of my bottom front teeth.

Click the title to see why in the world I posted this. I gave my husband four brace-faced school pictures to choose from and his comment was "oh, you have to post this one" (of course this was after he told me he would have found me attractive when he was a teenager, so I forgive him for choosing this one). Who has a seventh grade picture they like anyway?

You and Eris have twin chins and mouths! (Did anyone get that?) Athena also has the same smile but not the chin.
Thanks for posting the photo!

What the heck were we all thinking with the wild poofy hair too! Dang, we were all TOTALLY hot!

Muriel said...

It was the 80's!!

Eris said...

My one big regret with my braces now is that I don't have the big hair to draw attention away from my mouth!

Kara said...

ohhh I so remember that Muriel web. What a hottie!
My retainer was gone a long time ago, and they even made me take off my bottom one when I went on my mission.

I think that picture is about the time I first met you... you were stylin' about as much as the rest of us! The bigger, the better (I'm referring to the hair)... right?

i've always loved that picture!

sandi said...

WOW! Guess I need to find one of my pics. Actually they are all in the back of my storage but I know you must have one. Why don't you find a good one and post it for me. either my 3rd grade with bangs from ear to ear. That was a great style. my 6th grade with bleached out hair or better yet my 8th grade with oranged out sun in hair and poison necklace!! All classics. And while you are posting great pictures find the one of you and I in the bikinis that mom and dad brought back for us from Hawaii in Feb of '86!!

I wish my scanner still worked so I can upload my 7th grade pic. My hair was just above my shoulders and I had a really bad perm. I also had my bangs hairsprayed up in a severely pathetic attempt to keep up with early nineties hairstyles. This was coupled with a white turtle neck topped with a yellow dinosaur sweater my mom knitted for me. Yes, 7th grade pic not 2nd grade. Did I mention how much I hated school???

You guys are hot! I have never seen a picture of sandi so young. The hair is great!!

I can almost hear the "Poison" music in the background.

Muriel said...

Remind me and I'll show you her "Poison" picture.

jenn w said...

I just had a vision of Clays 7th grade mullet...

Muriel said...

Ooh, I wonder if he would kill me if I posted it. Eris might drool too much.

maren out my laundry said...

Muriel! That is how I remember you!! Wow its been soo long!

Muriel said...

Maren, I'm sorry that this is how you remember me...I'm much cuter now.

sandi said...

Actually, that picture is way before the Poison era. That pic is my 6th grade pic I believe. Poison wasn't until 8th. And Clay won't kill you he probably won't even know. So post it!!
