6. Bonus: PIP a picture of you as a pre-teen/teenager. This is me when I was 16 or so. So a bit older than the answers to the questions above. Dont have many pictures here, my parents still have them all.... Love this pic. Its poor quality, but I'm fixing my grandmothers ottoman that either my cousin, friend or I somehow broke goofing around in her house... when we weren't even supposed to be in her house while she was out . LOL

6. Bonus: PIP a picture of you as a pre-teen/teenager.
2. What ridiculous trend did you follow? It was the end of the 80s and into the early 90s, so you name it, I think I followed it. I think one of the most pervasive trends, though, was the pants with suspenders (never actually used, but just hanging down) and the double-up effect of wearing two differently-coloured polo shirts (collars popped) and same with socks.
3. What was your favorite band/singer? Duran Duran-- I wanted to marry John Taylor in the worst way.
4. Who was your BFF do you talk to that person today? There were three of us-- the twins Aimee and Reagin and then Kirsten. Kirsten is the only one I still kind of keep in touch with now. And I was really close to my friend Alex Cary and I still talk to her now, but not as BFFs.
5. Favorite Memory from this time in your life? Visits with my grandparents who aren't alive anymore; my two month visit to my aunt and uncle in Australia.
6. Bonus: PIP a picture of you as a pre-teen/teenager. I have to find one!
2. What ridiculous trend did you follow? A lot of the same things as PP - slap bracelets, slouch socks, neon, Hypercolor, L.A. Gear sneakers with three different sets of colored laces...I also went through a grunge phase in 6th-7th grade, where I'd wear my father's huge flannel shirts
3. What was your favorite band/singer? Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, NKOTB...these were my first concerts.
4. Who was your BFF do you talk to that person today? I met my BFF back in nursery school and I still consider her my BFF today - granted, we live about 7 hours apart now and don't speak too often, but I can't ever imagine a time where she - and her family - won't be part of my life.
5. Favorite Memory from this time in your life? Unfortunately, I don't have a scanned photo of this time, but I wasn't just a little bit of a nerd. I think I was unaware enough to not really care too much and just truly enjoyed everything I did - I was super happy, carefree - me and my BFF were always having sleepovers and making up silly games...we had a ton of fun all the time. We had plenty of other friends, but they never "got" us the way we "got" us.
6. Bonus: PIP a picture of you as a pre-teen/teenager.
2. What ridiculous trend did you follow? slap bracelets, rolling the bottoms of my jeans up, flannel shirts
3. What was your favorite band/singer? Paula Abdul (cringing, absolutely cringing)
4. Who was your BFF do you talk to that person today? Cate! We were BFF from 4th-6th grade. Unfortunately, we drifted apart after that and except for when our parents run into each other around town, I have no connection with her.
