I once went in to get a wave perm on my wispy fringe, and came out with a full-on mullet, tightly permed all the way back to the crown of my head. I took to slicking it all back with gel and putting my hair in a (mulletty) ponytail, but occasionally little tufts of short hair would poke out from the gel and I'd look like a scary hedgehog. That went on for two years while I grew it out.<br /><br />Fashionwise I don't have many fashion disasters as mum made all my clothes. My formal dress was FANTASTIC!! I'll see if I can find photos, though, and post them. I do recall a wedding I went to, wearing a home made skirt and jacket made out of some dishclothy kind of fabric. It was a horror, made worse by the fact my best friend was marrying my ex-boyfriend.<br /><br />For the record I think you look really smashing, especially seeing as you were having a deb ball in the midst of the worst of 80s styling!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854689952896339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191744632248916582.post-44141993426971135462010-07-23T09:38:06.259+10:002010-07-23T09:38:06.259+10:00oooh I think (except for the puffy sleeves) the dr...oooh I think (except for the puffy sleeves) the dress actually looks quite lovely =)!Bronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933391926572023254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191744632248916582.post-81669967952567938662010-07-23T09:02:29.288+10:002010-07-23T09:02:29.288+10:00Maybe I am old but I think you look lovely in the ...Maybe I am old but I think you look lovely in the photo. Or maybe it is because I harboured a secret wish all through my teens to have been born in the era of crinolines. I always felt sad that I wasn't, not realising that we were way too poor to have been of the people who wore them.
