A Blast From The Past

August 20, 2008 in Family with 46 Comments

My friend Lee Steffen sent me these pictures earlier today. I can’t stop laughing.

Ever wonder what you would have looked like in 1954? How about 1974? Try plugging your picture into yearbookyourself.com. Go ahead and do it. And then post it. I dare you!

Which one is your favorite?

    I think my favorite is ’76 but am totally impressed with your total makeover from ’98, Wow you are looking great! How much weight did you lose? :lol:

    1960 is FAV. 1988 is probably your real photo from high school though ;)

    I think you had a 1996 hairstyle at one point didn’t you? Maybe even around that time. remember seeing a photo like that somewhere.

    Is it just me, or does the second picture of you with glasses look just like Tim Allen from Home Improvement?

    Oh my gosh!!! I can’t quit laughing either. :) How can you possibly choose one favorite!?! I’m not brave enough to post a picture of me. After laughing at yours, I can only image how mine would turn out. :)

    This website is greatness. Another time waster on par with sending flair on facebook or trying to find grammatical errors in anything that 5thStreet writes.

    there’s something about ’86 and ’88 that remind me of Joel Osteen.

    Ok Spent the first hour of my workday looking at Lee Steffen’s blog (the one you referenced). He is amazing and hilarious.

    oh and 1996 is by far my favorite. But you look quite dashing in the one from the 50′s
