4. not bad? I get judged? I'll be under a rock...
here's one from 1987 that I just scanned recently - cropped for here. I was four months preggers. the other picture was when my best friend and I were trying to vamp.

46. No, now you got questions.


That was taken along the Bigelows somewheres. Lot of elevation changes through there. Up and down and up and down. Good hiking.
Great three day trip, if you're in shape.

And yes, those were some good legs!

:rofl:

45. Here's a picture of me after a ceremony that really pissed off my girlfriend...
Edited on Thu May-13-10 11:48 PM by NNadir
...Camilla.



I told my girlfriend that if I didn't go through with the ceremony, I would be disinherited by my mum..

Little did I know at the time that my mum would live, like, forever. I can't say I've inherited the family jewels, but I still live quite nicely.

The girl in the picture, by the way - the older one in the white dress with the big boquet of flowers - died. It's kind of a sad story, really, something about France, I think. I think it was in the news but I can't say I remember the details.

By the way, I don't really like dressing up in sailor suits but my mum insists.
