Subject: 70's self pic - another roll call

Written By: FussBudgetVanPelt on 06/12/02 at 06:56 a.m.

Following the success of the 80's roll call self pic, the suggestion of a 70's self pic was raised, so I shall start off :

Here's me in 1972, from my Soccer Team's premiership winning team photo.  Taringa Rovers, we won the Under 11 (D) competition.  Check out the 50's style shirt with the lace-up !

I was 10 at the time.  Alas, it was my high point in sport - all downhill after that, but who cares ?

World Cup, eat your heart out   ;D

FBVP   ;)

Dug this lil montage up.  Me from age 9 in 77 to 11 in 79.  I cant believe I found a photo with an actual kaftan in it - I was on holiday in Bali !!

hope this works - I can never work out how to make pics stay where I put them !!

Hi BrianMannixGirl

They are lovely pics of when you were younger !

Wow - Rottnest Island - that's some place to go for a school camp !  

Whys don't you tell people who aren't from Aus a little about the place ?

FussB  ;)

Written By: BrianMannixGirl on 06/23/02 at 03:26 a.m.

Thanks Karen and FussB.

I like my kiddie photos - I was a lot cuter then - man things changed !!!  Wish I was than darn thin too !

FussB - didnt realise you were an Aussie !

Rotto (as we locals refer to it) is the standard place for school camps - well it was in the 70's and 80's - no idea if it is still used for that purpose now.  Its an island 20km off the coast of Perth.  Its roughly 12km long and only about 2km wide.  You can ride around it on a push bike several times in one day.  There are no cars allowed on the island at all.  It has a small resort, a family accomodation place, some cottages, and a big tent city area for camping.

I hated my school camp tho.  There were no kind but looney Bill Murrays there as instructors - instead we got some major physco who got real pleasure out of attempting to drown the females during the morning swim, he also beat me and another girl when we accidently knocked over a lamp - beat us with a leather belt.  Great guy - not !  I liked my holiday in Bali better !!!!!

I LOVE goldie's dress...I remember so well when they were in...

If I had just one regret about the 70s, it would be my choice of eyewear...but I really don't have any regrets.  Aviater is good. Aviater is great.  Aviater is in.  

My glasses look like the windshields of twin 747's. :P

No, actually they didn't.  We lived in Missouri at the time, and I don't think there were many agencies around.  My aunt just did a great job with the photos, I don't think I was that cute all the time. ;)

Thanks, Karen.

I always wanted straight hair, and I used to work against my curls (trying to straighten my hair w/ an iron).  I walked around with an afro for a few years.  Finally, I decided to be happy with what God gave me - I discovered mousse and a diffuser, and now I am actually happy to have naturally curly hair.

I didn't realise about Aphasia - but I should have because I remember early in the original pics thread you told someone that if you were posting a pic they had too as well (see, I read my threads  ;D)

I understand totally natmc! My hair is naturally curly too and until about 3 years ago, I was straightening it. I decided to quit fighting it and just let it be curly. It's much easier and looks better than it did all  of those years with it trying to be straight!

That car was from a kiddie ride at a little amusement park we used to go to.

URLhttp://community.webshots.com/photo/67148141/67148541aKuUgOk I give up.. I have posted the link to the picture. I hope it works. IF it does. this picture was 1974... I was 7 yrs old. Skinny little blonde kid in the center. I was starting the transition to the awkward (or some might say ugly ) stages of tooth loss and growth spurts and so on..

Yeah, that's right I was a Jordan High School Beetdigger. No, I wasn't a Cougar, I wasn't a Jaguar, I wasn't a Wolf, I wasn't an Eagle. I was a Beetdigger!
Notice the crossed beet knives. Yeah, we crossed beet knives before the dawn! There wasn't a beet safe in my neighborhood.

Beetdiggers?  :oI love it. ;D I'll bet that name struck fear in the hearts of y'all's opponets! ;) And I thought my high school had an obscure nickname (Graham "G-Men").

Yeah, but our cheers were your basic variety of High School cheers. Although one thing we did that was kind of weird was that at Homecoming we had the "Topping of the Beet" ceremony, where we'd all sing the school song (I can't even remember it now) and then the head cheerleader would use a beet knife to cut the leafy stuff off of the top of this huge beet. It would be about the size of a cantaloupe. That's a big beet. I'm surprized none of the cheerleaders ever cut off a finger.

Eli, I would have had so much fun if I was in your cross town rival school.  "Beetdiggers" ;D  Too much potential.

Of course I was a Gig Harbor "Tides", not much to fear except miss some clam digging if you don't get there quick enough.  Originally the name was the "High Tides" but to many students thought they had a legacy to live up to and dope smokin' 8) wasn't part of the state school athletic programs. ;)

*Bump*

I thought some of the newbies might like to see these and perhaps post some of their own.  

Unfortunately some of the regulars you see here don't hang out here much anymore.  :(
