mbc72 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Part of our chat tonight will be to upload a Retro avatar from the 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's. I know it took me a while to find, scan and upload one, so I am posting this now to give you something to work on this afternoon Here's a little reminder on how to post avatars. We will also be discussing siggy's, but that has a more specific challenge to it that I will reveal at the chat and post in the thread afterwards. So, here I am in all my big hair, big earringed 80's glory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisha Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I have in my mind the perfect photo for my avatar, but I can't find it! but I did find the proofs of my high school senior photographs. I had the photos taken in my junior year - 1984, but I switched schools between my jr and senior years, so we never had these photos made. My hairstyle here is pretty conservative, but I am sporting the feathers and the mullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
