Way Back Wednesday - Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dotted Bikinis of the past! In celebration of TheKeptWoman's upcoming trip to Mexico lets see all those hot bathing suits of the past! No fair putting up a current shot of you looking hot..or airbrushing...that is also strictly against the rules...

I believe this was around 1977, and I loved that silver bathing suit but not half as much as I loved my aunt's 1976 royal blue Stingray Corvette.

1980 in the backyard of my childhood home. That cute little boy was my 1st boyfriend. DAR and I went to Kindergarten and 1st grade together. He gave me the chicken pox. I haven't seen him since 2nd grade, but I have talked to him via email a couple of times within the past couple of years. He is a High School Band Director in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

This is my friend SO and I at Sesame Place in Dallas, on my birthday, August 17th in 1983. Why do I remember that? Because that is the day before Hurricane Alicia hit Houston.

Here we are leaving Sesame Place. We were headed back to the hotel to get cleaned up to go eat at my favorite restaurant in the world, BabyDoe's. That night it was so windy in Dallas and it rained so hard, part of the Alicia's force made it all the way up here.

This was my End Of School Party that I had in late May 1986. The trampoline was still a new thing in the backyard and it was a lot of fun when you put the water sprinklers on it.

Doing a FLIP on the trampoline.

Here are two of my oldest friends in the world. We met about the time my parents bought our house in Houston when I was 19months old. JD (standing) was about 3 1/2 when we met and her sister, LR, was about 10 months old.

Did ya play?

It totally looked like you had a career in dancing on cars in music videos given that first shot. You could have been famous! Huge I tell you!

Okay. This is weird. I have the exact same pic of me doing a flip on a trampoline.

I also have a shot of me in a very sliver, star wars type outfit.

I played.
