Let's make fun of ourselves a little here...which styles will mortify our children?

We all have seen our parents' yearbooks, or even our own from years ago, and there was always some really horrible trend going on at the time that was so appalling that you found yourself looking at all the senior mugshots to find the most extreme case, just to laugh at.

In my mom's day, it was the flipped up hair; we're talkin' the late 60's here, where it was teased up at the scalp all bouffant-style, came in close at the neck, and flipped way up at the ends. We would scream hysterically and say, 'look at this one, it's even worse!' all at the expense at poor Peggy-Sue Bergmann or whoever. My mom would retort back at us, "all of us girls were in competition with each other to see who could get the 'perfect flip.' It was a status symbol. Your kids will look at your yearbooks and laugh someday, too."

So here i am, all grown up. i don't have kids yet, but my senior picture still looks pretty decent, aside from the dated-looking black slipdress worn over a white t-shirt. (No one ever has to know i was wearing Birkenstocks with it!)

So the question is, what trends or styles of today are going to be the freaky things that humiliate/alienate our future kids? My guess (and i mean NO OFFENSE whatsoever to anyone who does this!) is perhaps the blond-chunked stripes people put in their hair, especially over dark hair. It seems to keep getting more and more extreme.

So what do you think?

I personally hate em, they completely cover my shoes, but fit PERFECT otherwise.  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 49091    Trends wise, Im HOPING the HUGE gagged ears will be gone. The kind u have to bring a ruler out to measure the diameter of the plug.  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:15:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63042    i love the flare jeans that cover my shoes...the really long ones! But yeah, you're probably right, in 20 years or so, tight jeans will probably be back in, or god forbid, tight-rolling! and the baggy flares will look dorky.  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:17:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63042    My ears are gauged, but not big enough for most people to notice unless you are into that. i agree with you, though, the really big plugs can be a little freaky. i don't mind the smaller ones.  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 49091    LMAO Tight pants....cant stand em...LOL  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 49091    the small gaged ones look cool but the insanely big ones scare me :-p  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 57232    Oh I LOVED Slipdresses over white shirts!!!! Oh did I do that! I love my senior pic, can't wait to scan that in for Emi's post. I sure did crimp my hair a lot! That was funny, it tried to make a comeback not too long ago. That crimping iron used to smell!  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:25:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63042    i was in a tattoo place a couple months back, and the guy working had ones so big you could pass a grapefruit through the hole; the way his earlobe-skin looked around the edges made me nauseous...kinda purplish! You would have hated it!  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:29:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63042    A year or 2 ago, when i still had my long hair, my friend and i bought a crimper and did our hair with it, just for fun. She said i looked like i had Malibu Barbie-hair!  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 57232    Oh I just thought about something! My little raver girl phase. I had raver knots...oh gosh, I have my pic on an ex-friend's website  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 57232    OK, Can't stand the guy now! LOL! Well anyways, http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/gsubizkit/ It says something like Me, Mike and Ginny going to a rave. I have a water bottle in each pocket of my jacket, he like accidently burnt Mike my boyfriend with his cigarette, seriously, on accident, and that's Mike reacting to it, funny pic.  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 57232    awww man bad memories, that girl Kristi was like a sister to me, me her and Allison were real good firends and we had a big falling out.  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 57232    http://www.jeremy2k.homestead.com/friends.html I'm all up on this page, the last pic is what I'm talking about for a BIG thing with me... LOVED it, I loved those chockers! It was .25 from a gumball machine, people like were paying $20 mine was from a gumball machine! Loved my chocker, I rocked that for awhile!  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 7574    I'm hoping my senior pic will be kind of timeless..I just wore a black sweater and khaki pants and I wore my hair down and curly. Nothing too crazy. There's so many crazy trends nowadays, it'll be so fun in the future.  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:46:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63042    Oh, the raver days!! That was, say, 17? 18? i used to wear the really wild clothes, like vinyl and stuff. i had a pair of silver vinyl pants (STILL have them, and they fit!!) that i made the mistake of wearing; they were so hot!! i mean, sweaty-hot, not i looked good in them. And the phat-pants. The guys we went with always wore those, i never had a pair.  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:50:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63042    That is a cool choker Monkey, i love choker necklaces. That's cool you had a radio show! i always wanted to do that!  
Date: 6/9/2005 10:54:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63042    Amers that's probably a smart thing to do...my mother chastised me for wearing the slipdress, that i should have gone with something more classic. But i remember that i didn't get senior pictures taken the first time around; they were taken spring of junior year and i had a neck-brace on from the car accident i was just in. So i skipped it. Then, fall of senior year, they announced that we were having retakes, so i jumped on it...i didn't even know i would be getting pics that morning when i got dressed.  
Date: 6/9/2005 11:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 35720    HEY.. I have gauges.. lol.. mine are only 00 though, they're not gigantic, but they freak out old people regardless. As far as my senior pictures, I was wearing a burgundy long sleeved shirt and my hair was down and straight.. no make-up.. I don't really think there's much to make fun of, besides the fact that I look fake.. lol.  
Date: 6/9/2005 11:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 3648    Well I would not want my kids to see me after I had put sun -in in my hair...lol...my clothes weren't really bad....it was the orange lookin' hair that was awful. It's the one pic I have never showed my kids lol..but of course I had it fix (the hair) a week later back to my auburn color =)  
Date: 6/9/2005 11:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 3648    I really hate the jeans that hang really low lol...It may humiliate the kids if crack is showin' lol  
Date: 6/10/2005 12:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 49091    See rika, 00 are awesome lookin, but I saw a guy the other day that could fit his TV remote through his ear lobe....I dont think thats normal LOL  
Date: 6/10/2005 5:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 62876    In my senior pics, I had a serious case of 80's hair, which is quite funny.  
Date: 6/10/2005 6:47:00 AM  From Authorid: 10245    It's my 'shortly after high school days" that would mortify the. Thankfully, there are no pictures.. not of me, anyway. They'll get to laugh their butts off at my best friend and her mohawk though   
Date: 6/10/2005 6:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 10245    ... and her 2 inch finger nails!   
Date: 6/10/2005 7:27:00 AM  From Authorid: 62100    Probably just any existing pics of me with the "wings" going on in my hair..  
Date: 6/10/2005 7:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 53659    well i think maybe the acid washed jeans with all the holes  
Date: 6/10/2005 8:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 25828    oh - did you mean our styles? i guess the neon colors i wore. and big hair, of course.  
Date: 6/10/2005 8:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 25828    i think the worst one is your pants hanging down below your butt cheeks. showing the top of the waistband is sexy - but below your cheeks is not  
Date: 6/10/2005 9:08:00 AM  ( Admin-PK )   heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey i have blonde chunked stripes!!!!!!!!!!
Date: 6/10/2005 10:33:00 AM  From Authorid: 12006    They may be mortified by my goth pictures, or the stage where I used to dress very skimpily with see-through clothes, or my stage where I used to wear my thong straps outside of my pants. I guess I should just hide all of those pictures! lol  
Date: 6/10/2005 10:55:00 AM  From Authorid: 53836    when I was in 6th grade I had a bit of a fro going on..stick legs and a pot belly...that was my most akward stage I think it was my freshman year that I had a tent dress that was zip up, half eggplant purple and half pea-green...thankfully no pics of that atrocity   
Date: 6/10/2005 11:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 42259    I had these big glasses in 6th grade that made me look like a fly.I don't want ANYone seeing those pics not just my kids!  
Date: 6/11/2005 11:54:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63042    Yeah, all these atrocities of fashion are pretty bad; what possesses us to wear them? But yet, we all do...
