This just turned up on my feed. And there I was in the dress my mother made for me, with my blonde bob and 80s blusher. Blimey.



Now I look at that girl and find her sweet, for all her serious eyes and bizarre moon* swings. But something tells me that the real fun about being young is not so much living through it as remembering it.

* Yes, should be mood swings. But 'moon swings' genuinely feels more accurate.

I got my hair dyed blond a couple of times. In real life it has never looked good on me, but cameras liked it.
