I did find one of me in a pretty hideous bridesmaid dress in 1987. I look like a linebacker. Didn't help that I was a foot taller than both the tiny chinese bride and her only slightly taller groom, AND all of the other short bridesmaids. I pulled about 8 yards of tulle out of the slip to this dress when she brought it to me...when I first tried it on I looked like a fat Scarlett OHara.

And, I found LOTS of great old pics of my lovely Bailey nieces, which I'll post as I find time to scan them. This is my favorite so far. Beauty Queen Amanda, great legs even then.

I have roughly a million pounds of tomatoes to can and/or salsa-fy before they all rot on my counter. Guess what I'm doing today?

Those pics are HAWT. Fact.
I hope you hung on to that bridesmaid dress. My daughter may want to use the fabric to make herself a prom dress one of these days.
I love that pic of Amanda. That should be her profile pic.
WOW that dress...it's umm...it sure is something. Aren't you glad you saved that picture now????
You look gorgeous in that picture, linebacker or not.
I recognize that picture of Amanda. I think we have the same one in our family photo album.
That picture of you is a GEM!! LOVE it!!
Forget the dress... what is with that lace fan bouquet? 1987 was brutal. I'm pretty sure that color blue doesn't even exist anymore!
I can tell by your sleeves, that you were the most wholesome of us all!
OOHHH, Cristin, I love your new pic too!
Give me a break Shel, you look great in that photo. You haven't changed much. And I have never seen that picture of me before. I like it.
Baby blue & the 80's 2 things I'm okay with. I love both of those pics.
OMG, Shel! I remember that dress! I remember that wedding! I never told you at the time but I have a photo of myself in my 1980-1982 high school choir gown which is in that same lovely shade! Clearly, Smurf Blue infected our society for quite some time.
