The silly season approaches: Yearbook yourself

1966So I was going to explain today’s excursion into frivolity as a way to re-imagine oneself. Or as a technique by which a writer can put herself in somebody else’s shoes, and visualize life in other times. That it’s research, in other words. But who am I kidding?

Yearbook Yourself poses you in a variety of guises and many, many hideous hairstyles from 1950 to 2000. You can go from Rebel Without a Cause to The Breakfast Club without taking a breath. See how you would have looked sitting next to your mother in chemistry class. Shudder at the knowledge that at least a few of these photos may have been lifted straight from your high school yearbook. 1986

Yes, I am currently writing 2,000 words a day of the new novel. And I am the High Priestess of Procrastination. But August starts this weekend, and I like to get a head start on the silly season.
