First of all, Happy Fat Tuesday and Have A Great Day!
This week if full of 80's and 90's fashions. For more information click here:
Today's pics are from my 8th grade year birthday party. My friend Amy and I had the same birthday so we had a party together out in her dad's shop. I'm not in any of these. I must of been taking pics or up to no good. I went home with Amy after school and so did a few other girls and we started decorating. It was on a Friday night. One of the girls stole a bottle of vodka from her parents liquor cabinet and brought it. We all started drinking. This was prolly the first time we all experimented with alcohol. Little young, I know. We lived in a hick town and there was nothing else to do. One of the girls walked into the glass sliding door of the house. It was due to buzzing, but our parents just thought she was an airhead. LOL! Anyway, we didn't get caught that night. When I got home after the party my brother had came home drunk. It was his senior year. My parents didn't drink at all so it was a big shock to them. I felt so bad that night hearing my brother get grounded when I knew I was guilty for the same thing. At least he was older before he came home drunk. Well the day of my 8th grade graduation my mom found out. Some kids were talking and one of the mothers over heard and contacted all of our mothers. So, I was grounded. I almost didn't get to go to my dance. My mom did let me, but she was there and I was on my tip toes all night. I started my summer off grounded. I still did some drinking after that, but learned to be more sneaky and be careful of who I was around when I did it. LOL! So enjoy the pics from my party of the acid wash jeans, jams, tight rolled jeans and etc.
P.S. Excuse the guys in the background acting silly.

Harley Davidson Vs. Women
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. "Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven."
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with God." St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God. God recognized Arthur and commented, "Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle?" Arthur said, "Yeah, that's me...." God commented: "Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?"
Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but finally spoke, "Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?" God said, " Ah, yes." "Well ," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention: 1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion2. It chatters constantly at high speeds3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble too much4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!! "Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "hold on." God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours.

My favorite outfit was what I wore to the REM cncert at Fair Park in 1886: Faded 501 jeans with big black Dexter wing-tip shoes, a denim western Wrangler shirt with pearl buttons and metal collar jackets that I got at the Resistol factory, and a pin-stripe suit jacket from Goodwill.
(8th grade is when I started drinking too w/ all my friends, lol)
Now I don't feel so bad about drinking at a young age?
