Changing Average Jane

Written by

XO from Hip Suburban White Guy posted a meme earlier this week called The Times, They Are a Changin'.

The idea is to post photos that show how your personal appearance has evolved. I decided to do the meme in the context of my bands, so here are examples of how I looked in three distinctly different eras.

Here I am in the late 1980s. I was in a hard rock cover band (hey, just like today!) called White Hot, and apparently I felt there was no need for me to smile in photos.

On to the mid-1990s. This was an original alternative band called Radio Sunday. My hair was still rather large, but it was more or less my natural color and permed. As you can see, grunge fashion had taken its toll.

And here I am today (well, last spring anyway).

This was fun! If you decided to pick up this meme, let me know in the comments.

Holy shit! It’s Wynonna Jane! Lol you are a very brave woman. Way braver than me, but I think I destroyed all the pictures of younger, permed, big-haired me anyway. And now we know why the Average Jane icon has curly hair.

Fun photos!
You could have been a Wilson (Heart)sister in the 80’s

Very cool – Your most recent photo indicates that you can’t span the 30 year period the same way that XO did – but your changes are remarkable. The most obvious change aside from your hair is that you’ve stopped folding your arms for photos.

I’m loving that you were rocking fishnets underneath your pants in that first pic. Sometimes I really miss the ’80s. Heh.
