Last week, I was digging through boxes of old photos and found many a gem, including the photo I'm about to share with you. I was 20-ish, perhaps. And my skin was a white as the freshly fallen snow.
Good Lord.
It took me a while to place the location and the reason for this shot.
Location? Dallas, Texas.
Reason? Documentation of a hair cut for my stylist.
Earrings? Did not belong to me.
Eyebrows? Had not yet discovered the true joy of plucking and shaping.
Neutral lip color? All the rage in 1986.
Constipated lip pout? All my idea.
Sometimes, I love the vantage point from 45. That's all I'm sayin'.
Here's to old photos and blown out skin from the pre-Photoshop years.

Honore says
Wonderful photo. Sure do see that lovely Aiden- girl in you; sure do.

Cathy, you are so funny! Got some old pictures of me that I hate to look at for some of the same reasons.
Elizabeth says
You’re like a real-live Patrick Nagel lady!
Malia says
you look gorgeous!
mary says
way to rock those danglers, girl! gotta say, that shot looks like one of the pro shots in those hair books that are at the salon – you know, when you’re trying to ‘splain to your stylist what you want your hair to look like when she’s done with it?!
i’d give my right arm for great lips – mine disappear when I smile!

Yaaoooozaaaah!
Vickie says
Awesome haircut!
Wendy High says
Love the haircut!!! It’s amazing how much you look like Aiden in that picture! Beautiful!
Wendy High says
OOPS! Sorry! Aidan!!
Kate says
Oh my goodness… to look this gorgeous in ANY photo! My cousin tells me “you pluck chickens, you TWEEZE eyebrows.” lol! Either way, something I didn’t learn until a kind stylist one day asked me, “So, are we waxing today?” Uhhh… 🙂

I love this post and you’ve inspired me to take some of my old photos and relive them, maybe not the ones from the Madonna neon and lace days but there is plenty of food for fodder. Thanks for sharing.

Hilarious! You are. Always.
Jamie Danford says
Hooo..hooooo… that’s a treasure right there! Man, you’ve got some strong genes. Last week I thought for sure A was a total clone of D, but now I’m thinking she’s yours!
Lisa L. says
Wow just beautiful! Lisa L.

Maribeth says
Has anyone ever told you you are a dead ringer for Leah Michelle??
Maribeth says
Or I guess, the appropriate way to put it…Leah Michelle is a dead ringer for CZ!
cathy says
Me? No. Never. I take it as a complement!
