Derek: Thank You, LA Looks

"As if the neon tank and the wild shorts weren't enough, I can thank my mother for finding just the right ensemble to show off my pot belly. It must have been all those times she was telling me to finish my plate. But seriously, I think the spiked hair might say it all. If memory serves, we were about to go to a theme park and it was very important that I be tall enough for the rides. I think that’s when Dad got innovative with the hair gel. LA Looks, you’ve saved me again." -Derek

After the jump Derek today...

Awwww! That is the sweetest 80s photograph I've ever seen. I hope you did get to go on the rides. Great transformation, by the way. :)

The 80's photo resembles Guy Fieri (Food Network). Adorable! The 'transformed' you actually looks like a guy on a local TV station here in Denver.
