It's that time again!
( And Tuesday because of the Holiday)
with SupahMommy and MommyBrain!
This weeks PROMPT:
FIve Fashion MEmestakes (mistakes)
I hope to never. make. again.
Dear (inter)Netties,
I am writing to you from the Pen.... still serving time for the following crimes of fashion. I have included pictures of myself for your viewing pleasure. Pictures that were used as evidence against me.
Do with them what you will. But don't do dirty things. Most importantly...learn from them. Dear Lord. Please learn from them so that history may not rear it's ugly face... again. EVER.
Yours always,
SupahMOmmy
* p.s.
Please write me a letter. I love letters from the outside. Especially dirty fonky ones.
Put a cigarette in it and it'll get past the po.po.
Fashion MEmestake 1 and Evidence 786 Y:
1990's- New Kids On the Block Fashion
There is no need to mock. We are all playing a friendly fashion game.
I can hear your laughs.
I'm not going to play if you're going to continue to laugh.
I have been known to leave slumber parties.
Fine. Whatever. Laugh. Just remember.
I'm coming to your blog soon.
The pins. Lord. The pins.
I'm lucky I don't spurt water these days.
That was just plain dangerous.
However, those of you who know me best...
The searing burn from the memory of such fashion fright: was well worth it.
( yes I was 18 weeks preggers)
* honorable fashion Memestake mention
I had a fake braided rat tail going on that you cannot see.
My bangs.
What. the. chuck? It becomes a horrid honorable mention theme.
In this particular pic, they are masquerading as my own personal uni-brow.
Fashion MEmestake 2 and Evidence 456 B.
What . was. I . thinking?
( a phrase I predict I will see at least 4 times today)
I look like the 102nd Dalmatian.
The crimes only start there.
1. corsage on the shoulder- thanks stupid date for bulking my torso up further. AS IF the CAPPED SLEEVES and SHOULDER PADS were not enough.
2. Sam and Libby shoes- More like Miss and Piggy Shoes. I have wide feet. If you "wide" wore them too.. shame on you. You should have listened to your first instinct. " hey.. my feet look kinda FAT in these. OINK OINK."
* honorable mentions
The dress had a MASSIVE POLKA DOTTED BOW ON THE ASS. No further explanantion needed.
My bangs. Yet again. Vicious I tell you.. vicious.
White tights. " Paging Nurse Supah! Paging Nurse Supah! S.T.A.T!"
Fashion MEmestake #3 and Evidence further of fashionista crimes of humanity.
Can I get a "QUACK QUACK?" Holy overalls Batman. Who told me this was OK? WAs it YOU?? You LIED! Actually.. it was the two farmers standing next to me.
My friend V said.. ( farthest right) If it wasn't overalls...it was flannels.
Lord help me to right my wrongs.
* honorable mention
My bangs. You have wronged me for many years.
Fashion MEmestake #4 and Evidence 231 HG
Died. Shoes.
W.T.HOLY F.
KINNEY SHOES.. BAKERS...
YOU DID US ALL WRONG .
PROM. WITH. BANGS.
THEY WERE NOT CLIP ON BANGS. ..THOUGH I CAN see where you might be steered toward that comment.
SUPER. DUPER.
* Updated with mockery direct from CATNAP COMMENT- YES ... those are purple floaties on my arm. I like to make the most of my ensembles. We went swimming after prom and well.... my dress ( handmade by my GRANDMOTHER) doubled as a PFD.
Fashion MEmestake #5 and Last in the Evidence Pile
Sincerely, Fro Me to you.
Where shall we start?
The afro with side pony? Good starting place.
Always quite a fetch option in 1987.
IF you'd like to try this look yourself you must first: cut your hair fairly short. THEN... go get a tight perm. It'll look GREAT. Promise.
That was a total lie: I CAN'T LIE TO YOU. What is it ABOUT YOU??
If you have thick locks like myself. You are fucking screwed. Even though you might want a soft little wave...your hair will deny you such treasures.. and produce an afrolicious mess that you will deal with well into the late 90's. If you were a time traveler you would be able to use this info wisely. Alas, only Eric Bana gets to do that... much to my nonunderstanding. I'd end up in utero.. trying to drive my own personal time machine.
Regardless...UNLike me however, you will be smarter about perms and afros.
YOu will not contiue to get PERMS until 1994. When I decided firmly, to put any and all perm notions.. to rest. FOR GOOD. Then came the flat iron in the millenium. I cried sweet tears upon it's discovery.
Which leads me to my eyewear.
The sunglasses? Flourescent yellow sides. I had to wear sunglasses just to LOOK at my sunglasses so that I didnt' burn my retinas out with their brightness.
Honorable mention:
My bang up afro bangs to offset side pony.
The food in my mouth to offset afro bangs that offsetted side pony.
HOLD THE BUS!!
After my initial comments I feel the self esteem slipping!! Bastards!
I will evidence for you what the Fashion Pen has provided for me ... there is opportunity to change people! Grab hold! Rehabilitation is within your grasp! OF course there are weekly meetings at the mall...sponsors etc. But it's worth it. You too... can have what I have. There is hope.
(searching searching searching.. best pic on puter... searching ... searching.. still searching...THERE!)
* But Ekanjggjgjlglglglwha???....

The last one with your hair wrongly done and the sun glass was the worst mistake you ever made, I guess. Ha! Ha! He! He! Ops! Sorry. I tried but can't help laughing at these. Really...
Paging Nurse Supah! Paging Nurse Supah! OMG, that had me laughing until I almost peed my pants ... all while having a contraction 'cause that BS is back again ... ugh! Anyway, once again you rock the funny ... I am glad I've got some photos to make mine a little more laughable :)
Oh, and the letter from the pen ... classic clever D :)
No blog with which to share my own personal bangs and big butt bows :)Mine was black with white polkies :)
How did you fail to mention the bright purple flotation devices on that prom dress/die-able (spelling intended!)combo???
OK--changed my profile pic so I could get in on the action :)
I am far left--I think we caused the hole in the ozone our hair is so crunchy!
EKAN: Are those Mork and Mindy suspenders on your manly chest up there?
SHUT . IT. :)
Evil boy!
MommyBRain: I am headed to make fun of you. I noticed those nursies dead last.. so I"m glad I mentioned them.
Catnap: YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FRIEND!! I can't beleive I didn't relate them to floaties... I was way off last night. I'm updating with credit to you.
My grandmother MADE me that dress.
I"m telling her you said that.
Catnap again: It may be blurrrrrrry... BUT I CAN FIND YOU immediately. You're the one who ran on your tippy toes with hands princessed down to get into the photo line up. But not before you sprayed your bangs: oNE LAST TIME FOR GOOD MEASURE.
I will find you one day. :)
Those are not any suspenders. You got it wrong. That's just the strap of my back pack. This pic. was taken while I was on one of my biking expeditions.
And thanks a lot for your encouraging words on my last blog. But I really don't quite understand what you mean by my "accent"? Do I sound that funny or odd? I'm from India and English is not my mother tongue. Could you please explain? I intend to improve my language.
You sound like hugh grant in my head.
This is good.
Not funny , nor odd.
Now that I know you are from India- I must readjust my mental audio.
You're American English lessons will suffer if you stick around my blog!! lol!~ ANd thosE are SUSPENDERS.. you lie.
( this is sarcasm and fun at your expense...be flattered. )
I have super duper thick hair that has a frizzy wave thing going on and I wanted to share with you something better then a flatiron...it is OPTISMOOTH!! Ask your hair lady about it, it is a chemical process and now I have smooth soft hair and NEVER have to flatiron my hair!! It is truly amazing!!! Loved the post, my grandma made my dresses too!!
Ha ha ha!!! You had the right stuff! Or were you just hangin tough, trying to be cool?
ooh--and here i thought i could plan a get together with you now that we have a new car...now you may plot revenge and paint my face or something while I'm sleeping :)
You shouldn't mess with me you know, as you can see from my the loverly new profile pic I have powerful friends
dyed shoes and overalls. classic. why did we ever think overalls were flattering? they made you 3 times bigger than you really were!
Oh oh... scanning through really quick.
My husband is dragging us off to the beach (ick!) for a fun family day (hah! I hate the beach)
So I will be back later to play for reals.
Overalls were not a mistake. I LOVED my overalls. I lived in my overalls in college. And looked damn cute in them, too.
I put my link in the thingamabob, but I'm not really sure if I did it right. I'm a linking virgin.
I am so friggn' jealous of your pins!!!! I never had that many, plus I had to share with my sister. Just not the same.
Okay, so I peeked this morning before I dragged my ass back to bed. Now I'm back to comment.
(Don't ya love how I'm listed twice? I told you! I don't understand how the whole thing works! I registered on mommybrain cuz I thought I should in case...I don't know. Shut the hell up!)
When I first started the assignment this weekend I thought, go get the pictures out of the basement...then I thought Hell No! So my pics are courtesy of google. I actually thought it was 10 fashion mistakes that I had to come up with (not that hard considering what era I came from). So I had ten and had to cut five out. I swear to you that the five I cut were the pins on the levi jacket,(mine were Micheal Jackson), the bangs, the shoulder pads, and the dyed shoes.
I think were we separated at birth!
Loves ♥
Chief
P.S. I am feeling guilty cuz I cheated by being first so give it to #2...
Hell I am a nice person!
I use to perm my hair and it would be all frizzy every where cept one spot on the back and it wouldn't take...looked RIDICULOUS! I had to take a little bitty curling iron to make it match,boy I thought I looked good...NOT!
NKOTB.. My girls loved them. The youngest was going to marry one of them. That never happened. I remember putting safety pins on clothes too.
Bangs.... *snicker*
hahahahahah, i was going to do this, but then i realized you stole all my pictures!
I was forever new kids. But I wore the BIIIGGGG buttons. Totally awesome. And had the backpack.
I did have a stage where I thought it was cool to wear my oversized I.O.U sweatshirt in the summer with a pair of rockin tight cut off shorts. And of course I was growing out my bangs and what better way to do that then with the flintstone pebbles look... with shoulder length hair. I was hotta chick.
You rock girl!
My 10 year old laughed at the big hair in my pics. She couldn't believe how big the hair got!!
Sooooooooo funny. I love the white hosiery. Why did we wear white hose with everything?
Love your blog!
Ok...Im a complete child of the 80's so I must confess some of your "mistakes" looked tottally rad to me..lol
Ps. I think Ekanthapadhikan is actually wearing a back pack?? not sure just saying:)
glad I found your blog:)
I was so all about NKOTB! Although, I'm a little frightened that you were on the reunion schtick. They're old now. And kind of gross.
Oh my goodness I was laughing so hard I was crying! You are too hard on yourself girl but you sure are funny!TFS!
Hi! You have something waiting for you on my page - http://truthabtmeself.blogspot.com/2009/09/dedication-to-supahmommy-kelly-wood.html
Narrowing down to 5 is indeed the hardest part.
According to my favorite style experts SL&CK of "What Not to Wear" I am in dire need of a style makeover tout sweet. lol
1. I too had a curly perm, afro to be exact in the 6th grade. Worse part was the fact that it didn't take on the top so it was more like a "flatfro". Yeah, 11yr old very round face, rectangle glasses and flatfro. Not a pretty memory.
cont...#2, had handkerchiefs in every color, used them as accessories, belts, neckware, wristware.
#3 Slouchy socks again in every color, with elfinlike booties.
#4 Pastel colored denim..had pink, aqua and yellow dare I call them jeans, in those colors
#5 Black eyeliner phase..the kind that you melted first with fire, then applied to the INSIDE of lash line.
Sorry to take up so much space as I am not a blogger..much to miss Supah's dismay. Let us not forget all of the acid washed denim???
I have to say about the pic with the dyed shoes, I think your friend takes the cake on the "bad bangs" in that one. lol
Mostly all the pics scream "the 80's" and I'm certain you fit right in. lol
oh you took me back to my days of Middle School and highschool...I have made many of those!!!! Love your blog...first time here...Happy SITS day!
You had to love the 80's. The hair do's the pegged pants. Your polka dot skirt reminded me of the movie Sixteen candles. I give your props for busting out those pictures. My pictures will remain hidden in a box. lol
loving all the pics my SITSta :) i know u said not to laugh but HAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!
hmmm. makes me think i should scan some of my 80's/90's pics LOL
Ekan-blah blah.....i can't pronounce ur name either...but like u just the same....
over here across the pond we use lots of sarcasm at other people's expense....if supah's anything like me, it means we like u...however if we say nary a word to you (did i just say "nary"?), run for cover...we're plotting your painful death.....lol
SUPAH DUPAH....girl...my face hurts....do you remember that song from the 90's by Da Brat "Funkdafied"....there's a line that says "i'm rough and i'm tough with my afro-puffs"....my dear, i dedicate that to you..
The buttons looked all danger danger, but that last shot is gorgeous! 2000 gorgeous. Totally up to date. We all need to be cited by the fashion police for our past bad behavior.
LMAO, I am not going to make fun because I have a few blackmail pictures my sisters keep saying they are going to post on the net... beotches... LOL...
The whole bow on the butt ROFL... been there done that!!! One positive you were smiling and happy. Thinking you were the shyt LMAO....
:)
