I’ve been dying to blog about Yearbook Yourself as soon as I saw it on Pop Candy, my very favorite pop culture blog.
The idea is simple: you upload a photo of yourself and it shows you what your yearbook photo might have looked like in various years from 1960-2000. Some of my favorite results:
1960-- cool specs, hip chick
1968-- Very Carol Brady, no?
1974-- Scary, 'cuz this is the year my mom graduated HS and this pic looks EXACTLY like her!
1990-- I wished my hair would feather like that back then!
Here’s where it starts to get REALLY interesting. Compare the Yearbook Yourself results with my *actual* yearbook photos from the same era. Eerie!
The first set is the Yearbook Yourself pic from 1994 and my actual yearbook photo from the 1994-95 school year.
The second is Yearbook Yourself: 1996 and my school pic from 1995-96. Yes, my hair is longer, but the style is similar.
The last set of pix are Yearbook Yourself: 1998 and my senior picture (1997). They are the least similar, but I can assure you that by 1998 I was able to do that hot roller look myself!

I love the 1994 perm. That was a good look for you.
