I came across this today from a Thanksgiving from yester year...
from 1st Grade!!!!!
This was the Mistress, and if I recall, my little friends then Stephanie and Mindy. Even then the Mistress was apparently fond of headdresses. Should have seen drag in my future then.
Feathers suit you!
ReplyDeleteThey did once...and still do!!! Ostrich, marabou are otherwise.
DeleteOh, what a Cutie Pie you are and the Feathers do suit you! We often know at a very Young Age what our True Selves are, it's Adults and Society that often get in the way of us becoming what we were always meant to just Be as our Authentic Selves. I feel so fortunate I had very Bohemian unconventional Parents who let us Be who we just were with no condemnation or judgment, so we never really were like your Garden Variety American Family of our Era. We were that very Odd Family, rather like the Addams Family, and perhaps why I gravitated to that Show and The Munsters, they were kinda our Tribe of how Family Life looked in our own Household. *Winks*
ReplyDeleteMuch like you Dawn, I was very lucky to have a family much like yours, to let me be and follow my trail without any combination or judgment, well most of the time, especially from my Archie Bunker father. But even in the end he prevailed and relented...letting me explore and make my choices.
DeleteSo cute. You were a looker from the start.
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind! This photo was supposed to be our Thanksgiving card to our parents at the time. The photo was centered on a construction paper cut out of a teepee, with toothpicks sticking out the top as the sticks. I couldn't believe my mother still had it.
DeleteA priceless and period photo. You have always been adorable.

ReplyDeleteIs the picture entitled “Indian Princesses?”
Aren't you adorable!!! I know my mom didn't keep any of that kind of stuff.... (Perhaps, it's a good thing!)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in elementary school my mother was a room mother. I think it was a Halloween party, all of us kids had the right of thank you letter to one of the three mothers for helping. She even still has all those letters.
DeleteSuch a little cutie, some things never change.
ReplyDeleteBack when I was still innocent😇
DeleteI think this was shortly before you graduated to the beaded feathered headdresses!
ReplyDeleteCute. Maybe we should start calling Madam Three Feathers.
ReplyDeleteSome of my tricks might agree with that nickname.
DeleteOMG adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou had the looks from the jump, huh?
And a Queen always needs a headdress. ALWAYS.
XOXO
Nice tepee you've got there; shame if a maggot accidentally set it alight.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so bad! I was seriously trying to figure out which one was you until I read the names and the pre-headdress should've been a clue. My eyes are shot . That's another one of my stories that I'm sticking to. You were/are adorable though.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the best picture either. It was right before they chilsled pictures in rock.
DeleteThat's a great photo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute kid!
ReplyDeleteI always said you bore a distinct resemblance to Pocahontas... 😍 Jx
ReplyDeleteIn or out of a deerskin dress?
DeleteThat is adorable!!!! And look at you, already had to fag hags.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Too cute! A cute little blond boy!
ReplyDeleteYou still looked like innocent trouble. The song Ten Little Indians comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteTen little Indians
Standing in a line
One( Maddie) stood lookin' at another woman's husband
Then there were nine!
Sometimes...it's nice to see what mothers have kept.
