When we were young!
Jump to: Newest in thread
Hi my lovelies!
Posted this a couple of years ago on my old profile and it proved really interesting (I thought so anyway!  )
I’m posting a pic of myself in 1992 - when I was a young mum of 24 and had no idea what swinging was - let alone how much I’d love it!
At that time I’d not long finished modelling, had a baby girl who was a ‘whoops’ (now a wonderful young woman who makes me proud every day!) and was single and living with my parents, with no idea what the future held for me!
I’m hoping this thread will prove as popular as it did last time - and that many of you will post pics of when you were younger (18+ of course as it’s an adult site) - and tell us where you were in your life then etc!
From what I recall from the last one - Frisky Mare was looking hellishly sexy in tennis gear in the 80’s!
Big hugs
Peachy |

my pic is of me when I was 23 in 1989 and working in a holiday camp (Hi de Hi...yes that one!)
at that age I had no thought of settling down and having a family as it just wasn't on my radar...I was far too busy enjoying myself, which I continued to do so for a good few years more...

Me aged 22 maybe 23. Took my little sister to see R.E.M. on their Monster Tour, Radiohead and the Cranberries supporting.
At that point in my life I had no idea what I wanted to do, where I was going and what to do when I got there. Still not sure...
I certainly didn’t realise that holding a camera at arms length and taking a picture of yourself would become so popular....

Aw bless! I’d have loved a job like that! |

Okay, mine's a pic from 1986 when I was 21! I'm standing in some sulphur springs in St Lucia - sounds idyllic but the reality was I'd gone away with a complete bastard 
I had no self confidence at all back then, really thought I was pig ugly. So wish I could have appreciated myself through my older eyes ... |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
My face is pretty much the same, so I've had to obscure it.
The outfit and hair suggest that I was about 22 when this was taken. My hair had grown back after an attack and I had gained a stone and thought I was too fat. I was just starting a job where I was the only woman and ethnic minority in the office and had to learn to handle my drink to fit in.

Omg!!! 
So it was YOU who invented the selfie and not Paris Hilton? She’ll be furious if word gets out! 
Am I allowed to say you look hotter now than you did then?  |

Aw I’m sorry you had a difficult time of it Hun! It’s easy to forget (unless you were a victim of it) just how bigoted a lot of the population was a generation ago! I remember having a gay best friend - and having to pretend to be his girlfriend so he didn’t get ‘queer bashed’. Horrific when you think back - but a fact of life then!
For what it’s worth - I think you’ve turned out to be a lovely, pretty darned cool lady! |

You look bloody gorgeous my lovely!
I know exactly what you mean though! I have more confidence these days - with my thread veins, wrinkles and excess fat - than I ever did then with my ‘model’ figure! Weird huh? Xx |

I’ll have to have a serious rummage. ‘92 was the year I was first married, bought my first house and got my first full time job.
And I’d never heard of this thing called swinging |

Years ahead of her Peachy, plus we only got to see the results after collecting from Prontaprint...
You are allowed  I think you also have improved with age when we’re young we are all angles and edges, I find many older faces and bodies more attractive as they mature, adding padding and curves and a softening that looks and feels so good, forget ripped abs a little bit of a belly is divine.
Changing my picture - there’s a crowd behind me that’s causing the pic to be rejected  |

You lucky, lucky people!
My parents weren't type who'd take pics of us all as kids and thru our respective teens.
First photo ever of me was at 20, as Employee of the Month at my workplace! It's somewhere at home! |

I can imagine. I went to Barbados in 1996 and the ladies there always wanted to plait my hair, I would have loved it, but like you, I would have had to untangle it before going back to work in a bank ! |

Don’t think most people’s pics were taken by our parents Hun as we were all adults by then. Sorry it doesn’t sound like you had a great childhood though! Xx |

Actually, my brother and I had a great childhood with parents who DID bring us up well.
They just weren't photogenically minded but we didn't see that at the time as a bad thing. |

Agreed! My parents took very few pics of us growing up - my best memories are simply inside my head - not on photographs! |
