Here I am in the 4th grade looking as FABULOUS as anyone could hope to in the early 80's. This was about the time my heroine was "Jo Polniaczek" from The Facts of Life. I aspired to have a hair style just like hers, the two ponytails on top of the head and one at the nape of my neck. I guess this was my formal interpretation of the do.

The outfit is what I called my "lizard dress". When a friend called me the night before this picture was taken to ask what I was going to wear I told her my wizard dress. She thought I said lizard dress and the name stuck. It was sooooo funny....okay, locational joke, I guess you had to be there.
