Nothing to See Here...

...And now that I am done posting all of my ancient DLR pictures from childhood in the '70s, I have to decide if I feel like scanning all of my old Bret Michaels/Poison pictures because, as I was telling Jasmine, Bret's partner/assistant asked me if they could use some of my pictures for the autobiography that Bret is doing with Simon and Schuster this spring, as well as for the Bret Michaels website. They don't want to pay me and they are not even sure if I would get a photo credit, but they want pictures from the old days because "it would help to tell Bret's story better and more fully." Of course, once I do that they would have the right to do whatever they wanted with my pictures forever and I would not profit in any way, ever. So I am not too sure about that. I don't feel any obligation to Bret now, after all these years. I know I haven't talked to Bret in AGES, but it amazes me that someone who is now rich and famous and has a hit show on VH1 still has that 'garage band' mentality of wanting to get whatever he can get from people for nothing. It's not like he is broke (and I am broke!). That is what musicians and bands in general do - they sponge off of people and that is how they survive. You would think that once someone had some money and needed something, they would say, 'If you give us X number of photos, we will pay you X number of dollars,' but no such luck. Everybody wants something for nothing, so I am not sure what I am doing about that yet. I could let them have SOME pictures but not all of them. I just don't know if it's worth it if I am not even going to get a photo credit. Bret hooked up with enough women in his early days - he should be able to find one of them and get her to hand over her photos.....for free!

Aww, poor Sherry. Well, its definitely up to you whether or not you want to share your pictures!

I LOOOVE your pictures of you as a kid, SO CUTE

We both have pictures of us under the tree with Mickey stuffed animals! What are the odds

I know! Now, I bet if Courtney looks real hard, as does Marie and everyone else, they can scrounge up some under-the-tree Mickey pictures too! We can start a whole separate thread for Mickey under the tree photos! My Mickey was giant, wasn't he? He was almost as tall as I was! And he was that weird-looking older Mickey too, where the face was kind of 'off.' I think I have a picture somewhere where I am trying to dance with him! Anyway, we know we were, as you said, brainwashed at an early age, so there was no escaping the love of the Mouse. It is etched into the fabric of who we are, Jasmine, whether we like it or not!

Yes, I don't know what I am going to do with Bret and his assistant and the pictures. As I said, I could give them SOME pictures and keep some, but it just irks me that they can't even guarantee a photo credit on HIS OWN WEBSITE!!!!! How can Bret not guarantee something on a website that he runs (through the partner/assistant)? That makes no sense. As I said, people try to get something for nothing when they have that 'garage band mentality'.

I...can't...stop...using...exclamation...points....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The exclamation point is just too irresistible I have the FEVER for exclamation points!!!

Wouldn't they have to change to Playboy or something to publish those types of pictures

Sorry I had to! Wow what a story you have going on here! I have literally been going through your whole thread the past two days and you have some great pictures and stories! I love seeing all the places that have changed, the fashions and the characters. It's fun because you can see by the later shots what was the newest coolest movie or show which is quite a trip down memory lane.

I have to say reading this whole thread it was funny seeing my name briefly mentioned, I thought for a second did I post and forget hahaaha! Glad I have been mostly a good kid here

I also have to say on the babies in DLR I am going to be one of those insane people! I think some of those parents are locals with AP's I mean for me it's the cost of gas and food, I can take my time and cruise the parks. I might change my mind when baby gets here, but my good friend whose DH works at DTD took her 3 month old, but she did great and she carries him all the time anyway. She went to take pictures of him in DL, her older daughter wanted to go, she had an AP and almost all her friends have AP's so it's just a day in the parks for her (Yes we are spoiled!!!!!)

Again thank you so much for sharing your pictures! You have so inspired me to try and dig out my old Disney pictures!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I hope all of you who are partnered up with someone get to do something sweet and romantic today - even though it is a holiday that many people scoff at or frown upon, it is still a holiday of a sort and holidays are fun!!

I know Disneyland sells some Valentine's Day merchandise here and there (not a ton of it, but some) but I wonder if there are any special little Valentine's decorations they put up anywhere. I know they don't get extravagant with it like they do for the holidays and Halloween, but do they put anything up at all? Some random hearts here and there? Little Cupid Mickeys on the lampposts? Anything?

Hi Sheerrryyyy!!

Those pictures are SO flippin' cool! I love them and you look so adorable!!

I love the Alice in that picture with you! She's cute!

My parents are at our old house right now (we just moved) and I called her and asked her to bring the boxes of old pictures so I can go through them. We don't have our scanner anymore, but Jesus has one. So I'll use his!

Hi, Courtney! Thank you! I am glad you like the pictures from the '70s - I mean, none of us who were around in the '70s looked GOOD in any way, shape or form, but it is always amusing to see ourselves as kids at Disneyland. That Alice I got in the picture was cute - some of them these days look kind of on the odd side. And I never see the Walrus anymore - I don't know when he stopped showing up at Disneyland. I like looking at the people in the background who are inching towards us, trying to jump in on our picture action. Just wait your turn, fools!

Yes, use Jesus' scanner and start posting older DLR pictures! I want to see them all! It is a big pain to scan and upload and post, but I think we all appreciate seeing everyone's pictures so much on DIS that hopefully it will be worthwhile for you!

I thought the characters in my old Disneyland pictures looked a little underdeveloped. Have you looked at the DLR Nostalgia Pictures thread? Yikes! Someone just posted a picture of an ancient Mickey and Minnie, with small, human-sized bodies and ginormous heads!

Happy Belated Valentine's Day to you Sherry!

I'm thinking maybe I'll find my pictures tonight that I can post, we'll see though

Yes! Post pictures! I want to see whatever you can scrape together, but I am still particularly curious to see the ones from the engagement trip, because I want to see if I can spot a difference in your face/expression from before Eric proposed to after he proposed..... not to mention before you got sick and after you got sick!! I am weird like that!

Admit it you just like pictures.

I admit it! I admit it! And I like exclamation points too! I think I am a picture-holic and a Trip Report-aholic! I guess there are worse things to be!

Trust me. You are not alone! My 14 year old daughter and I started a pre-trip report. I let her start it and I am going to add to it.

Is that the link in your signature? I'll pop over there. Did you post it on the DLR Trip Reports section of DIS or is it somewhere else?

Yeah that is the link. And I believe she put it in Disneyland trip reports. I need to flesh it out for her. Put a few pictures from our last trip in it. And a couple of current pictures of the kids. I don't have any of me since my weight loss. I still hide from the camera.

I don't think I saw your pre-Trip Report in this section of the Trip Reports, assuming your daughter JUST recently posted it. It would be near the top of the page, I think. She must have put it in another section. Hmmm.... let me take a look and see....

ETA: Oh, no, never mind. I was wrong. I was thrown off because I was looking for YOUR name as the author of the TR, and not thinking about the fact that it is your daughter's name. So yes, it IS in Disneyland Trip Reports. I found it!!

No it is there. That's where I found it last night. Something about a mad rabbit. I don't remember the title. I know that she used some Panic at the Disco lyric.

Just have to say Sherry that I loved all your pictures, they are so great, those ones of you as a child, they are just so amazing. Very cool, I was that little when my Disney craze started too, it is so funny that we all have been lifelong Disney people. I sure hope some of the others can find their older pictures to scan, that will be neat to see.

Hey, Jen! You came back! How are you doing? I am so glad you have enjoyed all the pictures and followed along with the TR - I know you like to look at people's pictures - probably as much as I do - so I provided plenty. It's funny - I initially started the TR with NO pictures at all, and then went crazy with the pictures later on! I actually have some more from the 2007 trips that I haven't posted and I can probably scrape up some more PhotoPass stuff to post - just to keep the thread ALIVE! And yes, I can't wait to see everyone else's old pictures. Or new pictures. Just any pictures at all will be fine!

Now, I expect when you get out here later this year and go to DLR, you will do a TR with lots of pictures, I hope???

Oh, and Dizneydaz posted more PhotoPass pictures over in the Photopass thread, so be sure to check those out too!
