Time-Warp Wednesday ... Bonus Version :)

This week's Time-Warp Wednesday is particularly painful ... uh ... I mean, special.  As part of the linky party,







I'm giving you not only an opportunity to time warp back to MY senior year, but to that of many other brave souls who are joining a belle, a bean & a chicago dog for this walk down memory lane.  Please ignore the screaming ... they are screams of laughter and fun.  I think.

For my Senior Hottie selection, I have chosen my senior photo shoot got awry.  And seeing as you know what was going through my head ("What's with the wind?  Why's it so bright out? and Are we done yet?"), I thought it would be fun to guess what could possibly have been going through the photographer's deranged mind.

I think it would have gone something like this ...

"Okay.  Here's a good spot.  It's a parking lot, but if we pose you over here, nobody will know.  Yeah.  That'll work great.  Smile."


"Great.  That was really nice.  It is a little windy, but I think it should die down in a bit.  Let's see.  What if we had you sit on the fence?  What do you think?  Great!  Just climb on up there."

"Good, good.  You feel okay up there?  You're not going to fall off are you?  Grab a hold of that fence post there ... but try to look natural, too.  You know ... let's have you kick your leg up there, too.  Hold on tight ... but not too tight.  Relax ... Perfect.  Smile!"


"Wow.  You're really photogenic.  You look really relaxed up there on that rickety fence.  How about if we turn you this way a little bit and get another shot of you from this angle.  Ready ... smile!  Wow!  That last gust of wind almost blew your shirt sideways.  I think I caught it on film."  


"Okay.  How about you climb down from that perch and stand behind the fence.  Good.  Clasp your hands like this.  Perfect.  Smile."


"Okay ... that looks nice ... really spiritual and pretty at the same time.  Hmmm ... what's that?  You're praying we're almost done?  Ha!  Nah ... I have a couple more ideas.  Let's have you turn this way so that you're facing the sun a bit more ... a little bit more ... just a teensy bit more ... perfect.  Smile!"


"Whew!  That last gust was a doozy!  But you're a trooper.  Okay ... for the last one, lets have you turn this way bit and fold your arms on the top of the fence.  Yeah, just like that.  Perfect.  Smile."


"Wow ... fantastic!  The mountains in the background with the changing colors in the oak brush and the weathered look of this fence post ... sniff, sniff .... it's just so beautiful.  Oh ... and you?  Well, of course, you look swell.  Your eyes?  Oh yeah, I'm sure they were open."

Alright ... now it's time to head on over and endure .... er, I mean, enjoy some other senior snapshots.  Have fun!  And be nice in the comments! :)

  9. Well if it wasn't for the wind and the overall brightness those would have been some really fantastic photos.

  10. I think you look great! Me as a teen, I had the 90s hair that was backcombed so badly, it took two hours to get the knots out. And hairspray... I could walk through a hurricane and my hair would still be in place.

    Thanks for visiting my blog and joining my TP club!

  15. You were too cute! Actually these pictures might have turned out amazing if it wasn't for the wind! I give you kudos for keeping that incredibly awkward pose on the fence, I think I would have toppled over!
