Dork Olympics

I am entering myself in Topcat's challenge to see who has the dorkiest picture of herself. Here is a list of my current competitors -- go check them out before you tell me I win:
  1. Stacie at Heere, Storkey Storkey
  2. Maya at Gemini Girl
  3. Pam at Bloodsigns
  4. Flicka at Vacant Uterus
  5. Dora at ISO the Golden Egg
  6. Topcat's sister Rex
  7. Topcat herself, here. (But, of course, she is disqualified from winning the Dork Medal.)
  8. Evil Stepmonster
Remember when I lamented the time my mom allowed her friend to take me to the barber? Well, this was the result.

Yikes! Have a sudden urge to poke your eyes out?

A few years later, there was this:
You'd be serious, too, if you were wearing wool and plastic on a 98 degree day. The higher the hat, the higher the fashion.

And I was just so cool with my Farrah hair, Morticia skin and Mick lips:

Why don't you enter yourself? Dig up your dork and enter.

============================

Tessa took a photo of me yesterday because I was asked to join the Mile High Mamas as a regular blogger. Woot! And coincidentally I am featured today as October's Blogger of the Month. Please visit my interview and comment so they think I've shed the dorkiness and can bring some measure of popularity to the site (thanks already, Melissa!).

My favorite photog, Mary Beth, wasn't available on such short notice, but I think Tessa did a great job.
Afternoon light and photo-editing work wonders, don't they?
==========================

Have you entered the salsa giveaway yet?

And soon it will be Perfect Moment Monday. Are you noticing your perfect moments?

You are oh-so-brave on the dork olympics. While I know I could kick your ass (except for that Farah one) in it, I'll instead sit back and laugh at you cuz that's just who I am:-)

Congrats on Mile High, and yea, Tessa did a great job. Nice shot!

Oh my! I LOVE seeing people's photos -- what's so amazing is that nearly all of us have them...and we feel, at the time, so alone...and frankly you're kind of hot in the high hat :)

Lovely lovely photo of you -- nice work Tessa!

Love,

Pam

Amber said...

Thanks for a couple of belly laughs. The pictures on your blog and others made me laugh out loud. I've joined the challenge.

Topcat said...

Lori!!! Thank you!!

Now, while those Mick Jagger lips did scare me (a lot!) ... I do declare your marching band pic quite dorky indeed!

However, you've balanced it out with a beautiful pic of you at the end. It's win-win.

XOXOX

Love the kid photos. How very cute. And the current photo of you is fantastic. You look wonderful.

Evil Stepmonster said...

Oh yeah, they are great photos. That hat is the dorkiest! But that last pic of you is not dorky in the least.

Mr Topcat certainly has his work out for him.

Tessa has a good eye (and a beautiful subject)

I'm a little late for the contest but came across this via blogger bingo. Thanks for the laugh, I love the farrah fawcet look though, muy sexy ;)
