Me & Sassy Aunt Dot talking.... at least I look like a girl this time!
I'm now 38 and aunt Dot is 99!
We've all been doing this a long time.

  1. I'm so glad someone else looked like a little boy too! My Mom always gave me a "pixie" cut. But you were still really cute! You look similar to your Mom in this picture. Love family pix! Zootsuitmama

  2. Love the photos! My mom always cut my hair short from the age of 7 until I was 13 and able to care for it myself. I think that is why I will always wear my hair long.

  6. My mom always cut my hair in a pixie and my schoolmates always asked why I got a haircut that made me look like a boy!

  8. IT was the 70's - many of us gals were mistaken for boys! Damned pixie haircuts!

  9. I have to say I recognize the story of looking like a boy as a kid and going 50s ladylike as a grown up ;)

    And what a lovely picture of you and aunt Dot!
