BEFORE YOU WERE HOT

Because every swan was once an ugly duckling.

How To Submit

If you'd like to contribute to BEFORE YOU WERE HOT, we'd be honored. Email your info to beforeyouwerehot@gmail.com. Here's what we need:

Name:

Age at which picture was taken:

Location:

A little bit about your photo (the when, where, why and how? Naming brands or trends from the time is encouraged):

Some other stuff:

  • We encourage you to send in an "after" photo, like Erin did.
  • Needless to say, these photos should be of you, but if they aren't, please indicate that (and ideally, get permission from the person whose photo you're submitting!).
  • Picture quality is key. Example: a Xeroxed copy of your 7th grade school portrait that you scanned? BAD. So please send in a photo of good quality and resolution.
  • We will use first names only, but if you want us to link to your blog, twitter, facebook or other internet-style property, just let us know!
Now for a Mom Moment: BEFORE YOU WERE HOT is a laugh-at-ourselves concept, but we will be moderating for unnecessarily jerky comments. BYWH is about building a brother/sisterhood of awkward moments in life, so don't be mean and keep it clean.

PS-"Hot," in our terms, is a state of mind. If you feel it, we feel it!
