Horrifying, but fun! I wore my hair in the 1968 style, in 1960, so I suspect some of the other styles are also a bit off.

Ha, funny - some spot on, some really ugly, some flattering, the styles of the years that I wore were (although not necessarily in the year they state):


66
72
74
86
90
94
96
98
2000

In the 1950 hairstyle I look like my mum, in the 1952 photo I look like my grabdmother on my father'side, so go figure. (or was that vice versa, I'd have to have another look).

Thanks, they were fun.

Looks like I lost my left eye, though, lol.

Rosie, you're adorable! Your sweet face is perfect for the demure 50's. You look like Miss Weathers, my Second Grade teacher...!


As it turns out, my extreme white-bread Irish face is perfect for the 50's, and indeed, the 1956 guy is exactly how I used to loook anyway, when I was younger.


I fear that I am handsomer in these postiches than I am in real life...

This is me from my driver's license 2001 when I was 37. I used "1976". My husband saw this, and said, "That's you." My hair never curled like that, though. It was straight and feathered, of course, in 1976.

Attached are pics of me--- a male in 1964, and also me as a female in 1970.


So... am I gorgeous? Would you have dated me?


The female version looks a good deal like my paternal grandmother did, circa 1969 or so...


The male version looks much like my middle school band teacher, Mr. Ottmers, circa 1974.

"Hello Perfume Of Life: My name is Bobbi Jo Poe. I attend Walt Whitman High in Lakeview, Texas, where I am currently a sophomore. I am in the Glee Club, and I love Home Economics, English, Shorthand and P.E. I was elected Corn Queen of our town last year which was a thrill. I am on the Pep Squad for our team, the Whitman Bobcats. There colors are gold, and black. I am a Young Democrat and I am very hopeful for Senator Kennedy. I attend Holy Word Baptist Church and work on the weekends at the Tastee-Freez. My hobbies include sketching, raising parakeets and just swimming at the lake. I like Bob Dylan, the Lovin' Spoonful and some Negro music, and my favorite TV show is Petticoat Junction. Last summer I went to Camp Winne-Mukka in Grapevine, Texas, and I had so much fun! My favorite book is UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE and PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES. Last movie I saw: FINIAN'S RAINBOW. My ambition is to go to Texas Teacher's College in Luling, where I will study stenography. Or maybe a hairdresser. It will only be my second time away from home and I will miss my family. My father sells insurance and my mother is a homemaker. I have a younger sister, Nancy and a dog named Duke. Duke is my best friend! I do have a boyfriend... but I WON'T TELL YOU HIS NAME!!!!"

Sincerely, Bobbi Jo

OMG, Dave! LOL! That is hilarious!

Maybe the male version, LOL.
The female one is scaring me. Help me, I'm frightened. LOL!

My recent transgender surgery was a smashing success. Look, I'm smiling!

That is very attractive and well matched, Rosebud.

It can be difficult to match up the face to the right proportions. I am not sure I blew my face up big enough for the 1976 picture, but it is not a digital photo, so the bigger it gets, the more distorted it is. Also, most of the hair was so dark that my face looked whiter and more washed out than it already is, plus very unnatural.

One meets quite a number of Womyn from the nearby enclaves of Wimberly, TX and Pipe Creek, TX who look much like this. Very comfortable shoes, and names like B.J. and T.J.

I had to look this one up, I had never heard of it.

Yes, one of the things this experiment of Rosebud's makes us think about-- and I'm thinking of those of us POL'ers who were not teens or adults in the 1950's, 1960's (or even the 1970's or 1980's ) is:


* Were we a teenager in the Sixties, how would we have groomed ourselves?
* What clothes would we have chosen for ourselves (from what was available/trendy back then)?
* What high school "clique" would we have fallen into in those days?


How would these have differed from the look and social role we did in fact "end up in" during our actual high school/collegiate days?


My hunch is, the young woman who cracks up today at Sixties bouffants and cat's-eye glasses as being ungainly and ludicrous... probably would've had the highest bouffe and sparkliest kitty-cats out there in 1964.

Trends and fads are funny: I looked at photos, circa 1966, of my stepmother's high school. Most of the girls did indeed sport some outrageous hair fashions. Teased, bleached, bouffed, beribboned. And the very stereotypical "mod" cosmetics of that period. But my stepmother just had a gentle, simple chin-length bob, in her natural color, that would "work" very easily today, and she wore very minimal, sensible makeup. "I never was one to jump on all those kooky fashions back then, " she said in the mid-80's.

Susie, can you believe they really do know how to make a wing-wang from a hoo-ha today???

Yes, but can they do an adam's apple like this one? LOL

Here's a few of moi - like I said previously, in the firs older hairstyle, I look like my mum and in the second, like my father's mum.

The other two hairstyles (straight) are styles I've had.

The only male one that suited me was the thick glasses and lot of hair one - hehe.

Ok here's moi as a gentleman????

I think the hippy era was more me than any of the rest.

Jicky, I like the last 2, esp. the last one. I like the long hair on you. If you can get a good match on the shade of hair, I think it makes a difference.

My "1976 girl" one is more flattering than my "80's male", obviously. Even if the girl one makes me look like Mary Kay Letourneau, LOL.

Oh my gosh, you do, Rebecca!

Gee, thanks, Rosebud! LOL
Actually, she is an attractive woman, but that is a dumb looking picture of her with that boy.
I am not attracted to young boys, though. Or "boys" period. I like "men", specifically one man.

Off topic, seriously, when I was looking for my Mary Kay Letourneau picture I found a news item about a 31 year old teacher who ran away with a ten year old student and she had sex with him. I just don't get even the possibility of that.

Thanks rebecca, the long haired pic is my favourite too.

Love the coloured pic of you. I had a go with your other black and white hairstyle and actually did wear that style. I have a coloured photo of me in it somewhere.

Your yearbook photo looks great.

Jicky, thanks for the compliment, but the colored photo is not me; it is Mary Kay Letourneau, an American woman who went to prison as a sex offender for seducing her 13 year old student. It was big news over here for a while. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-0...-released_x.htm

Here's mine

Senior picture. 1966

Your beautiful, Gloria! Did you yearbook yourself, or is that your real picture?

That's the real deal.

Good gosh-a-mighty, Glo... You were a stunner... (And I know you still are, m'dear) That patrician forehead! That charming cleft chin! The witty eyes! The creamy poitrine!

You were one of those rare women who really made the teased flip look absolutely beautiful and natural.


You got it goin' OH-WIN, girl!

Aw shucks Dave.............thanks.

Actually, tha's an engagement pic. That was 66. My h.s. grad. was 64

Rebecca, I can't believe I didn't recognise that couple. Yes, they've been big news over here too.

Glo you look stunning as usual.

....like I said - stunning. (That hairstyle ages me 50 years from what I am now)
