Photobooth Friday! In a departure from our usual format, BP had the great idea to make this Photobooth Friday. Dig out that strip of photos from your teens, and let's see it.

Or create your own, using the Photobooth Generator (needs Flickr or Facebook account).

And here's a wonderful example of how Photobooths work their magic.

This was me in 1970 (possibly even a few years earlier).

Waiting for a phone call, with aspirational ending. Clearly not a real photobooth photo:

I'm not sure what happened to the bottom picture and half of the strip.

These are great! Slack, I kinda like the look of the torn strip. It's evocative.

slack, that is awesome!

These are fantastic!

My own is indeed a photobooth photo, but a lame passport photobooth. I look like a lip-glossed mannequin...

not to hijack, but please to note: my aspirational ending was prophetic, I got my offer and will be accepting a really wonderful job, once again wearing the White Hat.

Specklet, you do! But you look like a very attractive lipsticked mannequin, in a very posh store.

From the Wildwood pier two summers ago. I may have another to upload tonight if I get my act together.

the Wildwood pier

In NJ? Do you go there often? We're at the shore sometime every summer. Wonder if we'd ever coincide.

Family portrait. I am in so much trouble now with these two.

Miko, the mister's grandparents have gotten the same room at the same motel in North Wildwood, NJ since the 1950s. Every few years the rest of the family joins them at the beginning of June. It was my first (and only, so far) trip to the East Coast, but I really enjoyed it! Not sure when we will be back next.

You were lucky it was only rubber duckies, BP. Eeesh. I'm not sure I wanna do this again....

I was about 15 when four of us squeezed into a photobooth here:

I only have one pic, as I suppose we divided them up.

I've got a bunch of pictures from when I was messing with my hair. Some styles were better than others...

This is a puri-kura (print club) pic of Yoshi (my husband) and I when we first started seeing each other. I'm 30, he's 21.

Olive and I played around tonight. It took half a bag of treats to keep her from lying down.
