Your best and worst Yearbook pictures?

[jenweaver]

Do you have any grades where your yearbook pic is less than flattering? We were looking thru our old yearbooks last night, and boy did I have some doozies. I had two "worst" years, the first was in grade school when my mom gave me "the Dorthy Hammill" mushroom-y bowl cut. Thankfully we didn't do yearbooks then. The other worst was in 10th grade (1990). Big, big hair (those poor bangs couldn't move if they wanted to), braces, and way too much makeup(hot pink lipstick, thick eyeliner and way too much mascara). It was the typical late 80s look for my high school, when the girls bathroom was toxic due to copious amounts of cigarette smoke and aerosol hairspray. Ick.
My best was 2 years later, 1992, braces gone, hair toned way down, makeup not horrible. I actually looked kinda glam!

What were your best and worst years?

Definitely my worst was 8th grade...with my rose-tinted gold wire-rimmed glasses, braces, and my long shag haircut, wearing my bust-out shirt. I looked SOOO scary!! My Senior picture was my best, even with my Farrah 'do. (Boy did I just age myself ).

My best picture was 10th grade. Nice hair, pretty smile, and I looked nice and refreshed with rosy cheeks. 8th grade was the worst. You couldn't tell that picture apart from a mugshot.

My worst yearbook pic was in 9th grade. Despite being overall very awkward looking I had the largest zit I ever had right between my eyes. I swear the thing had a pulse!

To cover it up I tried to use hairsprayed bangs to cover it. You could still see the zit and my bangs looked like slicked down seaweed.

Worst was 4th grade. I pulled my hair back into a pony tail and it looked horrible! My best was my senior year. I had way too much make up and hair product, but I looked awesome!

My worst was 2nd grade. I had the same mushroomy bowl-cut given to me by my mom.

My best was my senior portrait - feathered hair and all!

Grade school we did not have a yearbook...

Jrhigh an high school I always missed getting pic taken some how....this was in the days before the fancy senior pic with all the photo shots that costs a fortune.

My worst (don't judge me):

My best (let me hear your praise):

It took a lot of work to get there, but it was worth it.

My eighth grade yearbook photo was awful. I had big plastic tinted glasses with a little heart sticker in one corner and a Dorothy Hamill haircut that my Mom permed so I looked sort of like Shaft (if he'd been a geeky white girl). I also was just getting over the chicken pox on picture day so I have red bumps all over my face and I was wearing a plaid blouse with a white lace collar.

I would rather be covered in honey and thrown on an ant hill than post the photo. You'll just have to use your imaginations.

My best was probably my senior photo. I don't flatter myself that I was a raving beauty, but I was passable.

Only high school had yearbooks back in the Dark Ages when I was in school, but my senior picture sucked. It looked like I was a barely reformed convict. I've never seen the pictures from my sophomore and junior years, so I can't say anything about them -- but I'm pretty sure they were even worse because I wore my hair in a crew cut, so they probably looked like I was in prison for something heinous. Tex Jr. is the only really photogenic member of the family.

3rd grade-buck teeth and a pixie hair cut
5th grade-My mom decided she liked my hair curly and I ended up looking like Little Lord Fauntleroy.
I think my 1st grade, junior class and senior class high pcitures were my only good ones.

Worst: sixth grade in Mayfield Middle School near Cleveland.
Best: sophomore (1976-77) and senior pics at Maumee High School.

My worst was in 7th grade. My mom gave me a shorter haircut than normal, but my hair needs a little length or it frizzed and sticks out everywhere. So, that year my hair came down to my chin in a perfect triangle. It was awful!!

My best was senior year. I totally rocked those glamour shots and looked incredible!
