who dat girl ?

a 'slightly' smaller me in 1993/4, and though you can't see most of it, my hair is in a french braid down the back*by '98 the poundage is higher and the hair is shorter - and I'm letting the natural wave ...umm...wavethese days the poundage is higher again and the hair - straightish - couldn't be much shorter without resorting to a razor

Is there an inverse correlation between weight and hair mass I wonder ? Does that mean, if I grow my hair out again, I'll lose weight ?


* I still have that silk bargello vest tucked away. Not that anyone would wear it now [ except as fancy dress ] but I loved the colours and put such a lot of work into it that I can't bear the thought of tossing it out. Oh, just look at those shoulders! Can we say early 90s ?

I was thinner when I had longer hair, too. Hmmmm, might be a coorelation there. I don't intend to grow my hair to find out though. Too much trouble.

I HATED those shoulder pads! That's the first thing I ripped out every time I bought something with them in it...they make great under wire support (not that I needed it.)

Those were the days...

You could always remove the sleeves and pads and wear it as a vest. It's far too gorgeous to throw out!

hi lindi - there aren't actually any sleeves or pads to be removed - I'm wearing a vest over a black long sleeved silk blouse - don't remember whether it had pads or not but the top of the sleeve was definitely very gathered and full - the vest has like a little cap sleeve [ also black ] so it's a bit hard for you to see the detail. I should drag it out and photograph it flat ( cos I sure as h**l couldn't fit into something that tiny )
I'm glad you agree it's worth keeping :)

I hate to disillusion the weight thought but it is not working for me. Hair is about the length it was when I was married.....weight is......disgusting.

'93/'94 feels like yesterday.

You look great whatever your hairstyle or avoirdupois. Your eyes are particularly striking.
