Karen said...

that was really something,Mad. You rock.

Beck said...

1. Ha! Susie! Perfect!
2. You look JUST LIKE MISS M in the black dress. Like twins.

Janet said...

First, I had to check out your skin: it is flawless. I'm extremely covetous, over here.

I thoroughly enjoyed the perm shot. Did anybody in the 80's and 90's avoid perming their hair at some point? I think not.

And the picture with newborn Miss M. is utterly delish.

kristen said...

i love this walk down memory lane. i have to agree, your skin is lovely.

crazymumma said...

argh. It won't completely download.

but what I see? I see M. and you. a kaleidoscope of you.

Bea said...

So glamorous in the yellow dress! And so completely like yourself in the plaid.

theflyingmum said...

Hah! LOVE. SEEING. YOU!!!!

slouching mom said...

you are truly exquisite in the yellow dress.

nomotherearth said...

I love the picture of you in the orange hat, actually. Oh, and the cartoon too. Too funny!

Gwen said...

Hey! You look just like a woman I'd like to be friends with.

painted maypole said...

nice to know you've been fabulous at every stage

flutter said...

LOL you totally did look like Susie.

and you are beautiful

cinnamon gurl said...

Gorgeous, all of them!

kgirl said...

you are adorable - and i love that except for THE PERM you have pretty much had the same haircut since you were four. totally adorable, you.

Jenifer said...

Just like Susie! Wow. I can really see you in Miss M.

Misty said...

Look how beautiful you are!

Janet said...

Great pictures. Several of my favorite bloggers have done this now. Guess I need to dig out some of my fabulous past hairdos and do the same. (Although you seem to have had a lot more sense hairwise than most of the rest of us.)

deb said...

Lovely photos, I especially liked your high school photo. I could relate to that.

niobe said...

Almost wordless myself. In a couple of the pictures you look a lot like someone I used to know. Though you're much prettier.

mamatulip said...

Oh, I love this. And I LOVE LOVE your glasses!

kittenpie said...

What a fantastic series of photos! And I can't believe how much you look like yourself in that child photo... You've hardly changed that much, you know, except for the haircut. (OMG the Susie comparison is hilarious)

Sober Briquette said...

you were 14 in that shot? you were 25 in that shot?
you were 34?

I guess i should have worn sunscreen.

I'd have to hate you if I didn't already love ya.

Reluctant Housewife said...

Wow. That is so fun. And you look so familiar. SO familiar.

Rose Daughter said...

Love the walk down memory lane, you look fantastic in all of them.

Mimi said...

There's a folk fest pic in there, right? Fantastic. You are utterly yourself, and you do have skin to die for.

Also? The perm? Oh god, baaaaad idea, huh? :-)

Christine said...

lovely.




Running on empty

Aliki2006 said...

I loved these!!! You know those two school pictures, where you're wearing the plaid dress/shirt? I SWEAR I had the same outfit, and my hair was exactly the same.

Magpie said...

That is fabulous. Thank you.

Kyla said...

I loved this!

You and your beautifully fresh face. Gorgeous. And I lost my breath when I saw that sweet little newborn head in your arms.

NotSoSage said...

I'm sure I have a folk festival photo or two that looks much like that one of you.

I think you look like Miss M (or she, you) at 5. Really? Though I know she resembles the Mad Dad.

This post made me smile from ear to ear.

Bon said...

you have the most delicate bone structure. loved this.

and the cuteness of the double shot of the early school photo with the, erm, possibly handcut bangs? i'm dying.

take this for what it's worth, but your face is what the Anne of Green Gables in my mind always looked like...not that pug-nosed Megan Follows.

Angeline said...

Did anyone tell you that you look prettier as you add more numbers to your age?

Seriously, you really look much more attractive in the recent photos than the past, ok except for the one in yellow dress - that's unbelieveably pretty.

Jennifer said...

The haircut you have where you're on the couch in the black dress with spaghetti straps is the haircut I want to be brave enough to get. I'm working up to it. (Thanks for inspiration!)

Her Bad Mother said...

okay, how gorgeous are YOU? seriously. GORGEOUS.

mo-wo said...

upon 5th 'reading' what I have is beautiful.

it'll do.

and, that is an impressive 12,000, or so, words.

mo-wo said...

ps. Bon is right about the Anne thing now that I think of it. weird.

Joker The Lurcher said...

what a lovely set of pictures! you have always been so pretty!

hele said...

Wow, how beautiful you are.

Sandra said...

Oh I reallllllly love this idea. May steal it too (swear we didn't steal your Canadian BlogHer ,,, if only were so clever). You are gorgeous ...

alejna said...

I loved this, too. It's a wonderful idea. And I'll have to chime it to exclaim over your beauty, too.

jen said...

Mad,
I don't know how i missed this gloriousness. This sheer bounty of gorgeousness.

Lisa b said...

I love this.
I think we had the same perm.
I agree with beck, I had thought so many of these reminded me of miss M.

Sus said...

Hey! I feel as if I suddenly know you so much better. I've been reading you for a couple of months, but now this! Thanks for sharing. Love your middle school hair, but even it wasn't as big as mine.

planetnomad said...

That was great! I really enjoyed it. You are fantastically "Mad" at every age and stage.
And no, I'm not going to play. Sorry. :(

Anonymous said...

Great photos! Susie from Calvin & Hobbes too perfect. Quite a resemblance. (My son looks & acts a lot like Calvin.)

I love the fick of you in that yellow dress. Lovely. Newborn photo is lovely too. I had the same hairdresser at 14. :) JoC

Sober Briquette said...

I did mine, grainy though it is.

Alpha DogMa said...

Show me the glasses. Show me the glasses! SHOW ME THE GLASSES!

What a great sequence of shots, Pretty Lady. You have fantastic eyes.

Who is the mystery man in the Age 25 photo? And is that the Edmonton Folk Festival? The Folk Fest is THE thing I miss about Edmonton. That, and Federally Inspected Meat in my donairs.
