IDEA help: Have you ever seen an old photo of yourself and been embarrassed at the way you looked? - Help.com

Have you ever seen an old photo of yourself and been embarrassed at the way you looked?

“Did i actually dress like that?” We did!!! And we had no idea how silly it was.

What scares me is that there are moral fashions too, its just as invisible to most people. But it can b dangerous. Fashion is mistaken for good design; moral fashion is mistaken for good. Dressing oddly gets you laughed at. Violating moral fashions can get you fired, ostracized, imprisoned, or even killed.

If you could travel back in a time machine, one thing would be true no matter where you went: you’d have to watch what you said. Opinions we consider harmless could have gotten you in big trouble.
throughout history: In every period, people believed things that were just ridiculous, and believed them so strongly that you would have gotten in terrible trouble for saying otherwise.

Is our time any different? It would be a remarkable coincidence if ours were the first era to get everything just right.

It’s so0o0 funny to think we believe things that people in the future will find ridiculous. What would someone coming back to visit us in a time machine have to be careful not to say?

All the time! For some reason I used to love wearing this dramatically dark lipstick and no other make up. I find it soo very funny now. I had flame red hair and really dark lips and really dark mexican skin! Oh how it amuses me.

Does it have to be an ‘old’ photo to qualify? Heh.

Yeaaah I just saw a Facebook photo album titled ‘the days we’ll never forget and the nights we’ll never remember’, featuring many pictures of me, which did not capture my most physically flattering moments lol.
