It was taken by a friend of my parents who was attending some sort of barbecue or party we were having. I was rocking my Andy Pandy suit as i called it and some pink Jelly shoes. Everyone else was on the patio and i was sat in the chair eating food off the plate that i'm holding in my hand. Listening to all the chatter and laughing i was not really feeling like part of the party.
This was my launch out of the chair caught on camera. I was really embarrassed when i saw he'd taken a picture of me and stropped off, probably for more food. When he developed it he gave Mum and Dad the photo and everyone said how lovely it was. From that day on i was secretly convinced i was destined to be a model.
And why not?!
ReplyDeleteA lovely pic.
I love the way old photos have that about them!
ReplyDeleteCheck you with your playsuit and jelly shoes! Did you have a matching handbag too made from plastic ? I did I thought I was the bees knees with it! Anyway I digress, great photo and story behind it :-)
What a great story - aren't childhood experiences quite something? I bet no one else remembers that BBQ the same way you do, but it left a lasting impression!!!

ReplyDeleteawesome :) I loved my jelly shoes (although I had blue ones as I don't do pink...)

ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture and why not be a model you had the pose sorted!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how a seemingly ordinary photo has such a strong memory attached to it?
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit!
LOL, I love the story behind this picture.
ReplyDeleteI remember all those fashions. My daughter still loves her jelly shoes although hers are jelly gladiator sandals - not that she notices, she is 4!
