]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> Plus they said BEST and worst. You guys are about to get a load of my awesome braids-with-clips-in-quadrants 'do from Easter 1983. Prepare your worlds for rocking because my 'ish was fee-uce.

Also: I think I know this girl! But maybe we all knew This Girl? So cute.

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @Crazydogggz: WHOA: We're not mocking anybody nor are we "essentially" asking women to "mock" or hate themselves. I for one am very proud of the Afro I sported as a child and, in addition to being proud, I am also able to laugh at it because it was a symbol of the times, i.e. the late '70s. No matter: When we ask for prom pictures, I'll make SURE to point out that we're not inviting readers to relive the days back when we were young, desirable and the concept of "dying alone" wasn't but a tiny blip on our radar.

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @Crazydogggz: Um...I prefer to wait and see what they are gonna do with the pix. I assume every type of woman will have her day.

I haven't known Jez to openly mock any woman - no matter her background. So, might be best to wait and see what they do with these pictures.

awhellsnaw

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> This is a really weird request. Why is Jezebel asking women to make themselves feel embarrassed and scrutnized about their appearance? Isn't this what your arch-enemies, skinny blonde chicks, unempowered suburban housewives, clueless Republican teens etc. do?
Are you, Jezebel, hypocritical? And/or are you just as terrified as conservative women that you may be ugly and no man will want you and you will die alone, but you just hide it better, behind a wall of hipster irony and feminist rhetoric?
And why black women specifically? Do you not know or care that despite your liberal racial sensitivity certificates, you're essentially asking black women to mock their hair when they were kids, before they realized how to use straighteners, relaxers, weaves and wigs to get their hair all straight and you know, normal. Just like dem white girls, massa. How much fun is it to poke fun at a little girl with supposedly shitty hair, Jezebel? Oh right, she's black. And those people have weird hair.

Captain_Morgan

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> I recently came upon my fourth grade school picture. I look exactly the same, was even wearing the same general type of shirt and had absentmindedly tucked my hear behind the ear the same way. Except my teeth looked way bigger back then. I'm 44.

Lizawithazee

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @cupcakesofdeath: That sounds like my fourth grade picture! Plus, my mom thought I should get purple glasses because I have green eyes. At the age of 8 I knew I'd look like Barney the Dinosaur and said so, but she conned me into getting them with the promise of a Coke, a rare treat in my house. Well, I got the Coke, but it certainly wasn't worth the next three years of those glasses.

Brianne

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> i would rock the "denim look" pictures like no body's business!. ugh, the things my mom dressed me in!!! (young 'un here)

tmmkitten

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @HRHKingFriday: My mother's best friend was a hair dresser and convinced my mom it would be good for my hair! I didn't speak to that woman for over 5 years...

Reluctant Financier

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> My super straight hair luckily prevented me from too many bad 80's and early 90's hair. Also I have a super fashionable aunt that made sure I never looked crazy. My best cut came when I asked for and got Uma Turman's Pulp fiction do at 13!

But I could totally win a contest for gappy pre-braces teeth. Or giant eyebrows.

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @allora: @BAngieB: Oh, I was buck-toothed rabbit/jack-o-lantern mouth before braces, so I could probably give you guys a run for your money. I also have some fabulous mall bangs shots.

DorothyZbornak

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @Brianne: AHH. bowl-cut bangs and turtleneck sweaters.

cupcakesofdeath

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> Damnit. All of my horrible hair pictures are with my parents. Oh man, do I have some bad hair stories to tell.

janna

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> I hella want to visit my parents now just to get a bad pic, my childhood was full of them. My dad used to love taking pictures of me while my mom was doing my hair, usually during the blowout part where I looked like I stole Chaka Khan's hair.

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> So cute. I can't participate this time, but when you have your giant bangs and glasses category I will totally win.

Brianne

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> Haha you totally need a month for self-inflicted fashion. Right before school pictures in second grade, I shaved my eyebrows off--not entirely, but mostly.

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @allora: I will totally win bucked teeth and freckles month.

BAngieB

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> I had what I affectionately refer to as a poodle mullet, which was accomplished by PERMING the front half of my head while leaving the back half long and bone straight. It was not a good look.

nowimpissed

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @stacyinbean: Yes, I'm so glad I wasn't able to take it to the next level- my parents wouldn't allow perms until I was 16.

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @Lady Skittlehattington: Huge salmon pink bifocals with barrets everywhere and red velour pants. Thanks mom.

amoureuse is hiding under a rock till Election Day

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> What a cute little girl! That hair kinda looks like my mom's perm from the 80's. Or AC Slater's frizzy mullet.
I bet she has really pretty long curly hair now!

kaylinda

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> omg, cute!

Charlotte Corday

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> What month is for bucked-teeth and freckles??

I also have stick-straight hair, but managed to rock this 'do (bangs at least!) for about 30 minutes every morning in seventh grade. I do not miss those days, nor the smell of Aqua-Net.

BAngieB

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> @HRHKingFriday: See, I got a perm FIRST, then the mullet cut, to complete the whole thing on my super straight white girl hair. I'm SO excited to find out I'm not the only one this happened to, I was traumatized for YEARS!

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> OMG.. there's a lady in my office that still rocks this hairdo!!!

Reluctant Financier

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> Man, I wish you wanted white girls' photos. I had a wicked wispy mullet in '81 when my uncle was in hair school, and I'm wearing an ET baseball shirt in the pic. I've shown it to hipsters before to illustrate how I did the '80s HARD the first time.

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> You know, I bet this person has really AWESOME hair right now. Those curls would be beautiful minus the mullet.

AthertonMerriweather

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> Awesome pic:) I've been there too! Now that I'm an adult, I have the courage to say that the curly haired mullet was a part of my childhood. I'd like to know who that is.

violetbeauregarde

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> I think I had that exact same shirt, or at least something very similar.

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> OMG, SOOOO CUTE!

TruculentandUnreliable

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> OK, who is it? Spill!

SarahMC

]]> <![CDATA[Reminders]]> I remember when that style was cool. I requested it when I was 7 or 8, but it didn't really pan out seeing as I'm white and had stick-straight hair at the time. When the curls fell out a couple hours later, I found out I was left with a mullet.

Sigh.
