The Gal

The Book
The High School Flashback Tour1. What one thing that you did in high school do you now look back on and go “Seriously? What was I thinking???”?
Oh there are a bunch, but let’s go with Strange Love by Depeche Mode or Fire Woman by The Cult. My friends and I went to teen night at a local club every Sunday. It was dark and alternative, we smoked a lot, danced a lot. They always played those songs.
Don’t be such an idiot in college.
Thanks for the flashback, Jen! This week has been such a blast. Be sure to tune in here tomorrow for the big swag giveaway! I’m over at Kimberly Derting‘s today making big ol’ grandma sunglasses look gooood. (Not so much.) Here’s where I’m spilling my guts this week: Monday – Jen Nadol‘s blog

Wearing a prom dress inside out with a jean jacket and combat boots? Most of the guys I crushed on? Coloring my eyebrows dark brown because I thought it looked good? (it didn’t – see photo) I did a bunch of “seriously?” stuff, but there’s actually very little I’d change – no harm, no foul, you know? I guess the one thing I might is ditching an invitation to a selective summer art program so I could try out for the Seventeen cover model contest. That was just stupid. 
Lovin’ the blazer!
I love the picture. It’s funny to see how we change and try to figure out what we were thinking at the time.
Loved the interview, the book is beautiful
Jessica~
That picture is priceless! Love the hairdo!
Im guessing a perm, right? And while the art program could have been useful, the modeling could have been fun too.
Jen, that is such great advice for college. Thanks for the interview and sharing your high school years with us
Thanks to all for reading & commenting – this has been so much fun!
It’s like perm-upon-perm-upon-perm, Donna. I think my hair in this pic’s about to spontaneously combust.
I don’t understand why they always use the same background and pose for the pics, I have a picture just like that. Love the interview!!
Never mind the eyebrows, Jen. I can’t get past the hair! Lol! Love it!
Fun interview, I love this HS flashback tour, learning more about the person behind the awesome books.
wait, how did she wear her prom dress inside out?
