What The Fork?

“I was in a Beauty and the Beast musical theatre dance number in 2002 when I was 13 years old and 6 ft tall. Why did they make the 6ft tall girl be the fork? I couldn’t even get through a doorway.”

The Masterpiece

“My senior photo, 1989. I remember the photographer and his helper had to move their set up back in order to capture my whole head. Side note: this picture got me voted Greatest 80s Hair by National Geographic TV’s contest.”

Head Games

“For Christmas in the mid nineties, I wanted and received this operation-style game that zapped you in the head every time the wand touched the edge of the maze.”

Shock & Awe

“In 1988, my mother won a free portrait session from Olan Mills for me and my brother. I remember feeling uncomfortable with my clothes and our pose and I think the only thing that felt normal to us was our hair.”
