Saturday Photo Hunt – Self

31 May
null

Good Saturday! Welcome to my new blog. I had to move it, it’s a long story, but suffice it to say, I’m settling in and getting used to my new home – and may I just say, I’m liking it!

This picture requires an explanation …

Please Ignore This Picture

This was taken in the back yard of our rental home in 1990 and before the kids came along, hence the reason you can see something that resembles a waist on me. My husband sort of MADE me pose for him. And when he asked me to assume a sex kitten-ish expression, well, this pinched/pained look just happened.

You have my permission to laugh – go on, I know you want to. ;)

    LOL I knew it had to be from the 90s with those jeans :-) Beautiful hair!

    I DID laugh – thanks! And I also laughed at your comment about my kitten drinking coffee for breakfast. Perfect!

    Okay, I didn’t even have to page down to the explanation to know that photo had to be from the late 80s – so I was close with 1990. Lovely photo.

    Aww…Congrats on the move :)

    Love your pic! You are stunning in it. I SO had to wake up every morning and hairspray for hours to get my hair to the height I wanted back then ;)

    I’m not laughing . . . honest!

    Wow, I have many photos of my high-school self wearing large, pocket T-shirts tucked in. I just thought I had bad style; turns out we all did!

    Thanks for the flashback!

    Karen, you are so brave!! But really, you look great. Just gotta view it from the time machine. Thanks for visiting and good luck with your new hosting. I’m sticking with Blogger for that very reason.. don’t want to get so popular that I wouldn’t be able to host it myself.

    Very lovely, Karen. You are just as beautiful today. Thanks for stopping by the creek.

    ROFL! Not at the picture – but certainly at your explanation!!! And I can only IMAGINE the look MY husband would get if he asked ME to assume a “sex kitten-ish” look! He’d probably get a “if looks could KILL” look!!! LOL!

  11. Secret Agent Mama May 31, 2008 at 6:46 pm #

    AWESOME!!!

  12. Leslie May 31, 2008 at 6:17 pm #

    Oh that’s lovely! How is your weekend going?

  13. dawn May 31, 2008 at 3:31 pm #

    That picture looked good. You did a good job posing, and yes, the hairdo is definitely 90′s!

  14. Jientje May 31, 2008 at 1:40 pm #

    You look great, but it’s the explanation you gave with the picture that made me giggle, rather than the hairdo!
    The hairdo is very 90′s!

  15. WillThink4Wine May 31, 2008 at 1:33 pm #

    If someone told me to give them a Sex-Kitten photo I’d have to hold up one of my cats! =)

    I loved your Catching Marshmallow Video above this, too! Too funny!

  16. Karen of Sillymonkeez May 31, 2008 at 1:27 pm #

    I remember the 90′s. I think I should have bought stock in AquaNet. LOL!!! Great photo! Thanks for sharing it.

    Check out my new meme about kids that starts on Tuesday. It’s called “Silly Monkey Stories.”

    Oh my goodness….this is ONE beautiful photo!!!

    My’s shared. It’s an “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” type. Hope you can join me. Happy weekend.

    Beautiful photo of you Karen! Don’t be shy, you look great! :D

  19. Heather Young May 31, 2008 at 10:42 am #

    THat is so fun. Yeah–I am three kids down the line and know what you mean. :)

    Thanks for coming by & leaving some love at my “self” shot today!

    I love this shot… I love looking at hairstyles and clothes and remembering looking the same way. True-waisted jeans (maybe even “pegged” at the bottom?), shirts tucked in & then pulled slightly out… it was an art, I tell you! :-) As was creating hair like that… I’m glad I grew into a style that required less maintenance! Hehehe.

    Have a great weekend!~

    You are also pretty Karen and i know even until now still a Karen that everybody knows. Beauty is really good but as long as you stay as what you are that matters….Thanks for the comments and i don’t have secret but maybe its just i am happier than before because i have my own family that always keep me busy and smile even the hard times. Take care Karen and happy weekend.

    Photo isn’t funny but your explanation is.

  36. June May 31, 2008 at 8:28 am #

    I sort of remember my waist. I never had children…mine just disappeared on its own! Thanks for stopping by Spatter….

  37. CrAzY Working Mom May 31, 2008 at 8:26 am #

    Puffy hair and stone washed jeans, yup most definitely from the 90s!

    Great shot, Karen!

  38. Barbara H. May 31, 2008 at 8:22 am #

    Beautiful! I think I’d have trouble conjuring up a sexy expression in front of a camera, too!!

  39. Jenn May 31, 2008 at 8:14 am #

    Oh, I remember those early 90′s hairdo’s! Your explanation made me laugh, you’re a beautiful woman!

  40. carver May 31, 2008 at 8:13 am #

    Beautiful shot. You don’t look pained to me. Maybe a little bit like you’re saying, go ahead and take the picture. Still a great shot.

  41. AnnD May 31, 2008 at 7:52 am #

    You are beautiful! And your hubby is quite the photographer! Great light and composition!

  42. camille May 31, 2008 at 7:41 am #

  43. Sue May 31, 2008 at 7:36 am #

    Yep! I remember that hairdo! Used to sport one myself … :)

    Happy photo hunting Karen! :)

  44. Surfergirl May 31, 2008 at 7:28 am #

    Hi Karen, thanks for the visit! I love your photo! And i only laughed when I read your explanation of it–because you really looked fab–its a very classic 90s photo.

  45. Sassy Mama Bear May 31, 2008 at 4:12 am #

    The hair certainly brings back memories. I think you are a beauty. Mine is up if you’d like to see the face behind the words.
