OMG – this killed me! “Let’s start with Ann’s pants”.

Now you’re going to make me break out with my four-eyed elementary school day pictures. Oh yes you are.

The SnackHound — She did actually have much, much worse pants. But of all of us in the above shots, those take the cake. I have no idea what that book is, and I doubt Ann would remember it. Not sure of the horse, either!

Your parents have had to have had some sort of coupon!

Oh leave Ann alone everybody – heck i would wear pants like that today with a simple fitted black tank, etc. It would work!

Is that a popup book (just looks a bit flat due to the photographic equipment), and is that a Breyer horse or a different kind.

[...] As she put it, 1972 was “A Good Year for Ophthalmology” [...]

Corrina — Oh, you’re such a sweetheart. I’ll assume you found something to ridicule, but just kept it to yourself. Come on, how about my missing teeth?

Shadowsrider — 16. Tough age to have to get glasses. I stopped wearing glasses in the 7th grade, then needed them again at 21. Weird. Thanks for the nose story. It made me snort!

Henson Ray — Now spread the horror and post some of your own on your blog, would ya? They can’t hurt you now.

Dawn — You know it. Although I’m not sure I’d have dressed myself any better if allowed to pick stuff out myself. It was going to happen either way.

BabaBooey — Yo.

I am a child of the 60’s /70’s also. I had to dig a lot of “your mother dresses you funny” pictures out to participate in http://pinksandbluesgirls.wordpress.com Throwback Thursdays. BAD BAD time for fashion of any kind LOL

Great pictures. It really took me back to when I wore clothes like that. Thanks for sharing. Henson Ray's last blog post..Mouth Organ Karaoke--MAMMA MIA!

I got glasses at 16. Fortunately I do not believe a photo exists of those 70's fashion glasses. LOL! I wore glasses until the 'Nose Incident' and then had to get contacts. As requested, the rest of the story on my blog. Shadowsrider's last blog post..The Nose incident...

Those photos are too fabulous to pick apart! LOL How weird that you all got glasses about the same time. Corrina's last blog post..Happy Hump Day

Shadowsrider — A broken tail sounds painful, doesn’t it? IIRC, Ann had a half dozen horses. I recall only one of them who suffered that fate. Must have been her favorite!

Swubird — I’m surprised no one mad fun of me as The Toothless Wonder in the first picture. Or is everyone just being kind? You’ll see my response to your recent post. You’ve done it again. Leaving me wanting more!

FerdC — I must have been worried I’d drop my precious spelling game to the floor. Either that, or I was too stupid to know what a peace sign was! I’m grateful, too, for our connections. I’m so glad these little glimpses of me add a little to the mix. I love sharing them!

My Bug Life — Well, not quite blind, but I feel that way when I’m fumbling for my glasses. And even then it’s a problem. I think I need reading glasses for my reading glasses.

Jena Isle — You know, I hardly got into Elvis. Somehow I missed that whole craze. Yes, let’s say the glasses make me a genius!

Carla at WordPlay — What a picture you’ve painted! But can I just say, God bless elastic waistbands. So was the whistle used to call attention to your awesomeness?

Jenny — He does look rather Spockish! I was clutching the game, wasn’t I? Especially the left hand. Don’t let go!
