I would not have given him the time of day.
Ahem... Actually, maybe I would have:
It would have been 'Clooney and the Clown'
This was my favorite shirt. Paired with the turtleneck it seemed like a good idea at the time (and to my defense, those were the seventies. Look, George is wearing a turtleneck too.)
For the record, that haircut ruined my life. I was 11 and my hair was my only exterior sign of femininity. Idiots asked of I was a boy or a girl. I haven't dared cut my hair since. And look at those chicklet teeth :)
When I first started blogging there was a fun meme going around where bloggers posted pictures of themselves as kids. Now that i've shown you my worst, who wants to play? You post a picture of yourself as a kid on your blog (and tell us a bit about you then) and tag new bloggers. I tag:
Oh my goodness! I had the same experience when I was 11! It was a terrible time and like you I now always have long hair!
As for George, well, you wouldn't would you. Aren't we cruel? Bless him.
Thanks for sharing x

Thank you! The U2 concert was like magic. I am still in a happy U2 cloud. I wish you could have been there with me.

lol Actually, I was cool then, Corine. (I don't say it, my friends do. One was quoted saying it in a freaking article. I thought, wha?) I'm going through my awkward phase NOW. Waaah. (I think you're both cute as buttons.)

Which one is George? (Sorry, I couldn't resist...) Seriously I will take you up on the challenge but you will have to wait until October when I'm back in our winter home where I have the photo albums in the vault. I will dig out my class photo from the same age as it's only fair. Love love love your blog. And your long hair. And you, bien sur.

Oh, I did hear about your marvelous hair from a mutual friend. Please put a picture up someday. :)

Oh that picture of George makes me laugh. Too bad I didn't improve that much. As to a kids picture of me, one of my favorites in in the sidebar of my blog. Not quite the same, but...
