Way Back Wednesday - I'm Not A BowHead
Yes my friends, it is again time for Way Back Wednesday and the theme that The Kept Woman gave us this week is: You put what in your hair?
Football Widow came up with this week's theme of bad hair accessories of the past (bows that could eat your head, satellite dish silver lame headbands, etc.)...boys, you know you thought you were all cool rockin' the sideways baseball cap and yes, that counts...
Well, as you may or may not have heard.. I went to Baylor, but I promise you I am not a Baylor Betty Bowhead.
Ok, this was me at 10 months. I didn't even really have any hair, but, wait.. what is that white thing SCOTCH-TAPED to my head. It's a Bow. Uh, well.. I'm still not a Bowhead.
Ok, here we are at 2 1/2 years old. Complete with a frilly bonnet. Whew, at least it isn't a bow.
I'm not sure how old I am here, but Pigtails were apparently the way to go. So that is where it started... I still to this day can not sleep with my hair down, it HAS to be up in a bun or ponytail or something.
Here I am modeling an outfit I got for Christmas 1981.. but what is that red thing in my hair? Damn! A Bow.
Let's try again...
UGH! I promise.. I'm NOT a Bowhead.
I totally should have posted this picture last week, because I obviously STOLE my poor grandpa's nightcap.
I had just gone to church with my grandpa... and what is that white thing in my hair? Breathe, Breathe, Breathe, Repeat to yourself, I am not a bowhead, I am not a bowhead.
I guess I just had my hair washed in the sink. We were probably fixing to go dry our hair. My aunt's hair was down to her waist (and her hair is as thick as mine) and it would take two hair dryers to get it dry. She would turn her head upside down and I would dry the underneath part that was now on top, while she dried the top that was on the bottom. Yeah, that made sense.
I guess a white cowgirl hat is better than a bow, right? Right? I am not a bowhead, I am not a bowhead.
Ok, I know this was my freshman year in high school. I can tell because of the t-shirt I have on. And of all times my grandmother DIDNT cut off the top of my head, she had to pick this one with, oh my God, what is that red thing on my head? A Bow. Fudge!
Big Bucks, Big Bows, Big Bucks, No Whammies, STOP! What the heck? What is that big blue thing on my head. I mean it was normal for Char Cole to have bows on his ears after going to the groomers, but for the Love Of Granola, what the hell is that?
*Crying in a corner, I am not a bowhead, I am not a bowhead, I am not a bowhead, I am not a bowhead."
Ok. A Diamond Tiara. That's more like it.
Did ya play? Let me and Mama Duck know!

It's okay, I was a bowhead too until I was old enough to know better. :) LOVE the bonnet! That is so funny! I played. :)

I almost posted my baby pic where my mom used KY Jelly to apply the bows to my head. Yep you read that right. She said it worked unless I got hot cuz then they'd start to slide. NICE!
I Played!
