Saturday Photo Hunt – Self
May 31, 2008
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 …
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.

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.
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.
Yep! I remember that hairdo! Used to sport one myself …
Happy photo hunting Karen!
thanks for the visit! first comment for my first ever photo hunt..
i remember the hair.. 
You are beautiful! And your hubby is quite the photographer! Great light and composition!
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.
Oh, I remember those early 90′s hairdo’s! Your explanation made me laugh, you’re a beautiful woman!
Beautiful! I think I’d have trouble conjuring up a sexy expression in front of a camera, too!!
Puffy hair and stone washed jeans, yup most definitely from the 90s!
Great shot, Karen!
I sort of remember my waist. I never had children…mine just disappeared on its own! Thanks for stopping by Spatter….
Photo isn’t funny but your explanation is.
Funny story and great photo!
Ohh, the Duran Duran hair!
Wow – Great photo.

Nice photo! and I like the new look of your blog.
I like it. Your husband did a nice job.
LOL, very sex-kitten-y

Ok.. I’m not going to laugh but that hairstyle…it’s so so so… (please fill in the blank)
Thanks for sharing Karen

Beautiful photo!!
Happy Weekend.
As long as you don’t still sport that hairdo, I think your going to be allright..
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.
Thanks for visiting.
I like the header of your blog, its so welcoming!
I think its a great shot, & funny story =)
Hi Thanks for the visit! and boy do I know about the pre-baby hips LOL great Photo!
Haha…I did laugh. Although the sex-kittenish part didn’t really get through, you are still a beauty!
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!~

THat is so fun. Yeah–I am three kids down the line and know what you mean.
Beautiful photo of you Karen! Don’t be shy, you look great!
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.
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.”

Have a great weekend!!!
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!
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!
That picture looked good. You did a good job posing, and yes, the hairdo is definitely 90′s!
Oh that’s lovely! How is your weekend going?
AWESOME!!!
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!
Very lovely, Karen. You are just as beautiful today. Thanks for stopping by the creek.
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.
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!
I’m not laughing . . . honest!
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
thank you for explaining that this was taken in 1990! hee hee.
you look great!
thanks for visiting my photo hunt entry!
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.
I DID laugh – thanks! And I also laughed at your comment about my kitten drinking coffee for breakfast. Perfect!
LOL I knew it had to be from the 90s with those jeans
Beautiful hair!
