For me it was between finishing 8th grade and staring HS. I was a tom boy with glasses, braces and really messed up hair. My hair is very very dark and my dad wouldn't let me dye it so I used Sun In and it turned bright Orange. As it grew in I had bad dark roots.
Right before HS I made them take my braces off, I cut the long shaggy hair to my shoulders and dyed the ends back to dark and got contacts. I also learned how to use a little make-up. I looked like a different person.
A few years ago, I shaved my hair off for the St. Baldrick's Foundation. I didn't tell a few people at church and they all thought I was sick and put me on the prayer chain lol
Probably changing my over all style. I went from handme downs to actually putting effort into clothing, hair, makeup, ect. Even just getting the short I'd always wanted but was too scared to try was nice.
I went from long brown curls to short pixie platinum.
I had a baby face for a long time. It thinned out in my 20s. I look totally different in my high school pictures than I do now. Its kind of weird to see.
Four tattoos. Chopped my butt-length hair to my chin when I was about 20. Pierced my own belly button when I was 15 (huge mistake) Purple hair when I was 16.
oh god, almost nothing. in a 3 year period right after college i gained and then lost 30 lbs, so i guess that counts. otherwise, i mean, i had highlights? pretty much anyone from any stage of my life, including preschool, could probably identify me on sight.
I have all the books I could need, and what more could I need than books? I shall only engage in commerce if books are the coin. -- Catherynne M. Valente
