Black Cat, Alfie and Simba: Still Hot (or Not!!!)

Still Hot (or Not!!!)

Babs published a lovely photo of herself when she was 22 on her blog the other day which reminded me that recently Pinky emailed me with a photo he'd come across when I was about the same age, which he entitled "Who is this?". So here it is:

Now why on earth would I have scraped my hair back like that when my forehead is as big as the rest of my face? Well, this was taken on a holiday I went on with my friend Julie and her family. I remember it was hot, much like it is now. I see I liked wine even then! I had a "thing" for the photographer but fortunately woke up to how stupid I was being when he realised I had a "crush" on him and tried to "cash in". My friend Julie had Marfand's Syndrome and died of organ failure a few years after. Before she died she got married to a man who also had health problems. I think the marriage was happy but it wasn't easy.

I miss you Julie.

Have a great weekend efurrycat :)

Second, I wish it had been me that had photographed each of you when you were 22. But I had never been to England, then.; 10 August 2008 at 04:33
