As you know (if you read my blog regularly – and that’s all of you, right?), I love the Fugly Girls, those lovable queens of the celebrity fashion mean scene.
No fug-lovin’ blog, then, would be complete without an well-intentioned rip off, and oh, what inspiration I have:
I present to you: Yours Truly, circa 1982.
This, my friends, was early 80′s eighth-grade cool. I mean, this girl had it goin’ on.
The hair? It took me a forty-five minutes every morning to curl that hair. Call it late-generation Farrah Fawcett. It did a really good job of covering my lazy third eye.
The glasses? I picked them out personally. “In the early 80s, glasses with large, plastic frames were in fashion for both men and women,” confirms the know-it-all. I believe it was called “Granny Chic.”
The shirt? Do not adjust your screen, that’s just my red and purple-striped top. Even then, it burned my eyes, but hey, it was cool – and it looked perfect with my acid washed jeans and leg warmers. And besides – stripes are back, baby.
Wait a minute – who stole my eyebrows? And no, I have NOT had a nose job since this photo was taken – the weight of the glasses appears to have pushed my nose into a chubby little knob.
On the up side, there is a distinct lack of crows feet, grey hair and ascerbity about this girl… but one can still see a glint of sarcasm in her eyes, a harbinger of the uppity to come. Oh wait, that’s the flashbulb reflecting off the glasses.

Ma-num-a-num. I knew that innocent-looking lass way back. A writer then, already, and sarcastic is being nice…cynical maybe? At any rate, your brain was way ahead of the rest of us 8th graders. My sister finally got my mom to ditch her big glasses (complete with gold trinkets on the side) just about 2 years ago. Suck it in through the nose and blow it the same, really loud and slow…those were the good old days. (Thank god they’re over with!)
