"I think I was 12. This is a school photo, obvi. I love that I left my retainer in for a portrait. Like, a portrait that your mom pays for and orders extra copies to trade with your friends and relatives. I also like that I'm matching my shirt to my scrunchie. There's a lot wrong with this photo. Good thing you can't see my Keds. My socks probably matched, too." --Erin
After the jump: Erin today...

I always matched my scrunchies to my scrunched socks. With high-tops, obvs.

You have beautiful eyes.

I still see people wear scrunchies, and I laugh so loud...we all did it..

Wow gorg! Pretty in Pink

It's the scrunchie WITH the side ponytail action that really makes it work. And btw, you've grown into your eyes quite nicely.

When I was 12 I would have had a crush on you and now I would be with my mouth open, stunned look on my face, staring at you unable to speak. Finally uttering OMG you're so beautiful!
Duh, thinking to myself that was so stupid. Can't you say anything witty she knows that!
Damn! She doesn't remember me. I was that skinny kid alittle goofy, shy, and blushing around girls.
What do I do now? Still the same, but I work as an MD;a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist. Its fun. Yeah we should catch up someday. call me

The first thing I noticed in both pictures are your beautiful eyes.
Posted by: Emory | 06/06/2010 at 12:50 PM
You need to take these pics down...you were a really cute kid; we are our own worst critics and you should embrace your good looks!

As pretty as your eyes are, you have even prettier teeth - the retainer obviously did it's job:-)!!

So beautiful, you should be proud :)

I know scrunchies are not exactly the height of fashion, but really, I don't see anything else dorky about the "before" photo. Pretty young girl grew up to be a pretty young woman.

She's a writer for glamour. Funny part is she was one of the few people to submit a pic without pimping her work.
