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.
