bliumchikA Thing which I forgot. School photos! Yes, that dreaded annual ritual OF DETH.
Did we look like a horde of zombie whores? Why yes, yes we did. I, personally, looked at first glance like a drag queen and at second glance like my granny. The reason for this became apparent when my mother pointed out that the flattening of my hair at the top was reminiscent of '20s hairnets. Oh joy. I'm a zombie drag queen 20s cabaret dancer.
Of course it's impossible to avid looking terrible in school photos. If you're white, you're shiny. Or you're bright red. Or possibly both. Actually half the asians got the Shinies too. You practically have to be Indian or Phillipino, and have the right hair to boot.
But there was a particularly amusing incident this year - apparently the "FotoMakers" (A name that would't go amiss in an internet chat room) decided that they didn't like the background of Purple Sheet they'd laboriously erected in our hall, and photoshopped it into a chirpy, stripy blue. Only problem is, they seem to have had some difficulty telling the back row's hair apart from their shadows on the curtain. Thus Anna, whose hair was tied back, appears to have it out. and Henrietta - gosh, don't talk about poor Henrietta. I mean, did they really think that was a remotely appropriate shape for a head? Did it not cross their minds that Lumpy hasn't been "in" since... well, since whenever my hairstyle was in!
Oops, I am called off to battle.
