It's my birthday! Yay me! Way to live another year!!!
For my birthday, I would like to reminisce about my childhood... with pictures. One of the things that always strikes me in my childhood photos is that I have ALWAYS had really, really pretty hair. It's true. While styles may change...my hair remained "awesome!" And by, "awesome", I mean horrific. It always looked clownish. Through no fault of my mother. There was nothing to be done. It didn't matter if it was morning, noon or night...my hair was a mess.

This is just a preview of that was to come in my childhood years... That spiky curl came all on it's own, baby!
I didn't have much hair, yet. But as you can see...I totally worked what I did have.
My first birthday. Also featured: My mom and sister, Tara! As for my hair...most people would need a pomade and super hairspray to get that pointy look. Not me. It was all natural!
Here is where I started sporting the "bed-head" look.
It would become all the rage in the grunge and post-grunge phases. I was always a bit ahead of my time.
And here is where I embraced my golden locks and stopped styling it as a rebel! I went for a "proper" and "sweet" when I was 4. Although no longer pointy or grungy...I did manage wispy and thin.
Those were the best highlights of my hair. Pick any photo from childhood and you're bound to see the "grunge" look. It was hot!
That concludes our birthday look-back! I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have!

Mom- she really did...but, since I have nice hair now...let's take it as a compliment! And I wish we had taken a photo of my hair a few weeks ago when it looked just like that...except more if it and darker. I love you Mambo!
Happy Happy Lisa! It must be nice to have a niece (Sydney) that follows in your footsteps when it comes to hair styles.

Brandito- You're too kind. No smarta$$ remark? That's an amazing gift! :)
Thanks Tami! As for my hair...I'm naturally a red-head, but as a child I always colored it blonde for drama. And as an adult I color it black/brown for the gothic look mostly. :) Hopefully you got my msg on facebook with the real answer. :)
