CONFESSIONS OF A FAT GIRL

Flashback Photo Friday

Every single day, I use this really fun app called Timehop. It syncs with all of your social media and lets you see your photos and updates from this exact day in history. It goes back pretty far and I'm always so amused to see it. 

I was especially amused to see this photo, from four years ago, recently:

That's my lovely friend Meg in the front there, proudly displaying a delightful bottle of Chianti. I took the liberty of blurring her out cause I didn't know if she'd want to be on prominent display in this blog, but trust me, she's a cutey. And I think we're at the Arboretum in Arcadia celebrating a friend's birthday and enjoying a concert (probably the one where the conductor wouldn't stop talking) but never mind all of that.

Look at my face.

Timehop, you are awesome. But I sure wish you could tell me why I'm so flippin' animated! Look at my face!!! WHAT THE HELL MADE ME SO EXCITED four years ago???

We may never know... Dammit.

The Ghosts of Halloweens Past

In my most recent session of "Let's throw shit away!" I came across something like 30 CDs filled with old photos. Among them, many scanned images of my Halloween Greatest Hits. 

So let us enjoy a trip down memory lane, shall we?

I have no idea how old I am here but clearly I was a super early adopter of the whole vampire trend. Suck it, Stepahnie Meyer.

There is so much wrong with this costume. What am I? A ballerina? A princess? Why am I wearing tennis shoes with tights? Horrible! I am the epitome of gracefulness....

Why am I wearing 18 layers of blue eye shadow if I am going to put a mask on, I ask you. Same goes for the red ribbon around my head. Please note the AMAZING wallpaper and wicker in the background. My house was ROCKIN' in the 80s. 

FYI, the cast on my arm is real. After I broke my right arm for the THIRD time (like I said - graceful), I decided to incorporate it into my Halloween. I think I told people I was an accident victim. (And I know you are all jealous of my awesome plaid shirt.)

I'm adorable. 

This photo is a demonstartion of everything that is wrong with my posture as an adult... The pink pleather pants are pretty rad, though. Again, I insisted on wearing face makepup even though I had a mask. I was clearly not a very practical child but then, I'm not typically a practical adult either. 

I am so badass, you don't even know. But I should have painted that little orange thing on the edge of my fake gun barrel so it didn't look like a squirt gun. 

I'm sorry but how cute is my little brother the robot?! My witch costume, while very 1980s, is pretty sassy. Not sure what I am doing there on the left unless I had some kind of Lady Gaga Little Monsters premonition. Paws up, bitches! 

Horrible. Just... horrible. My mother swears up and down that I requested this costume so I have to ask WHAT WAS I THINKING?! This is the kind of clown I'd run from, shrieking with terror. 

I was only midly excited for this year's Halloween but last night, I finished sewing my costume and I must say, it's PHONOMENAL so now I am REALLY excited. 

What's everyone dressing up as?

Being a goofball at #Blogalicious12

So glad I found my friends Chris and Ricca to hang out with today! Not that I haven't already met some FABULOUS new friends! 

I had to share -- Ricca and I got a little goofy in the Crest Smile Booth at lunchtime:

Okay, she's clearly NOT goofing off but isn't she adorable? I, however, am a giant nerd. *wink*
