I Would Have TOTALLY dated Jake Ryan…

by

In high school I was ALL about the rollers for dances.  And by “rollers” I mean hair rollers.  I loved to have my hair CUR. LEE.

And during my senior year there was some drama as to who I wound up accompanying me to my Senior Homecoming dance.  I won’t get into all the details but let’s just say I had one sorta date (a good guy friend who I later found out liked me “in that way”…) and I dumped him to go with another guy that I was hoping would ask and did.

Oh man, even my family was a bit ticked off at me.

Anyway, bad decision aside (I did still have fun but felt really bad after the fact…) I was all curls and of COURSE, I was a #Senior Hottie!!

(I LOVED this dress!!)

And here I am now, on my birthday this year, sans curls…

And from the categories listed from Liz’s awesome contest, I think I’m definitely “Most likely to date Jake Ryan”.  I mean I pretty much have the same hair as his girlfriend in the movie!   Which category do you think I fit in?

P.S. I linked up to this last Summer too and my “Bangs” post is one of the most popular of my posts in my sidebar.  You gotta check it out if you have not already… 😉
