When Then is Better Than Now

When I first posted the link to the WSJ article, the photos had yet to be posted. I may have been an enormous nerd in 4th grade, but now I am a woman who needs a better hairstyle and more sleep. Damn. And my friend Sara checked my make-up and everything before I met the photog. ("You look sort of like Rachel Maddow," my other Sara friend said, trying to be positive. Dude, Rachel Maddow may be awesome, but I do not want to look like her.)

The good news is that the new story links to the 1986 original. Yep, those were the days.

  1. Well, the angle is very, very odd. It makes you look as if you have had a terrible accident involving your neck. To assure you: you're much better looking than that.

  2. Thank you for the laugh. A terrible accident involving my neck is not hilarious in reality, but seriously, I cannot stop laughing. Plus, I worried that I looked like I was on drugs, so maybe if I had a neck accident it would excuse what appears to be a painkiller addiction.

    Only I seem to have gotten the "artsy" photographer, as everyone else has a normal portrait. C'est la vie.
