Okay folks, here's a bit of fun compeitition. Below is one photo which was given to me from my mum after my nan died. I ask for this for 2 re3asons. 1 is that it has me, me nan and my borther in it in the early 80s (I can't remembger the exact year) and for the 2nd reason.....welll, look at that mullet.....ginger mullet.
Now that leads unto the competition. The question is, who is me and who is my brother? Is me, the one witht he ginger mullet or is it trying to hide from the camera?
hmmm...early 80's? Well, I am thinking that the younger guy is you, Met!

ITA with Springie that by age, I would think you were the younger one... but the older brother looks a lot like the photo of you that is posted here on Gatchamania, Met!
Oh, the 80s have a lot to answer for where hairstyles are concerned!
Operating on the assumption that you are roughly my age, Met, and that you say the picture is from the early 80s, I'm also guessing that you are the younger boy in the picture.
Are you all redheads in your family?

Early 80's Met the younger one has to be you... you should have set up a poll!!!
Okay, two can play this game.
This is also from the early 80s. The three blond girls are all related. Which one is me?

Originally posted by Ebonyswanne The cute one!!!I agree. And here's me in the late 80s in my mad scientest hairstyle, which was created straight after having a shower.
Met you such a character...
OMG!!! Are you really Bill Gates!

it could be just the angle of the face and the blond hair.
Originally posted by Ebonyswanne You Met!!! you look like a very young Bill Gates..."I don't think I am Bill Gates and I think he doesn't have a skin head look, partially sighted and he still wears glasses, but I will check to be sure." Looks in mirror and then looks at bank account and then turns to Ebony. "Nope I am not Bill Gates."
Ebony strokes her chin looking at Met closely...
Show me your bank balance, I need more proof. 
Trust me young lady, if I was a multi-billionaire, which I am not, then I wouldn't be able to get any kind of benefits and wouldn't work at all.
Double post! Oh well, here's one of my ancient family pics...
Notice the decorations in my grandma's window...I was drawing even way back then...methinks I spy a snoopy...LOL
I'd do one of these, but it would be glaringly obvious which one was me! 
lborgia, are you the third girl back? The one with the blondest hair?
Ebony, you were a blondie as a kid? Don't you have dark hair now? Or are you a redhead?

I know which one LB is, but I'm not telling.... 
But to make it up to all of you, I'll give you a really easy one. See if you can find me in this cheesy 'photos at the department store' pic!

OMG...your children look exactly like you, TJ! I remember this pic...look at your beautiful hair!

ROTFL! My hair had been in braids all day, and my Mom pulled them out and brushed it like crazy. Hence it's kinked up and shiny. 
OMG, this is great!! It's making me glad I don't have a scanner though!
LB, I say you're the blond girl in the back... TJ, ITA with Springie - your kids look just like you (your DD is the spitting image of you)!! Met, I'm thinking you're the lovechild of Thomas Dolby and Bill Gates - or at least someone in their families!!

Originally posted by lborgia88 Okay, two can play this game. This is also from the early 80s. The three blond girls are all related. Which one is me?Okay, the first girl (in the yellow shirt) is my sister. The blondest girl, furthest back, is my cousin. I'm the one in the middle, in the oh-so-stylish red shorts with blue stripe and dark pink shirt. The picture is from 1980 -I was 10, my cousin was 11 and my sister was 14.

I never liked my school picture from grade three, because my mother had insisted on cutting my bangs much shorter than I liked the morning the picture was taken.
Originally posted by Hinotori OMG, this is great!! It's making me glad I don't have a scanner though!I don't have that excuse as about a year ago my father digitized the complete collection of family slides (he liked to take slides instead prints) and put them on CDs for me and my siblings. That's how I got the picture I posted.
Originally posted by lborgia88Hahaha..yes...all redheads are related... I imagine waaaay back in our ancestry somewhere we could be...and Cep, too... he's a redhead...LOLOriginally posted by Springie Double post! Oh well, here's one of my ancient family pics...

Originally posted by lborgia88Upon reflection, the picture is from 1979, and everyone was a year younger than I just said. My father put it in the 1980 folder, but he's wrong.Originally posted by lborgia88 Okay, two can play this game. This is also from the early 80s. The three blond girls are all related.

I was wrong then! And I was so sure that I was right that you were the youngest girl! I recalled something you said about having 2 older siblings. 
And don't worry about being stylish (or not). At that age, our parents dressed us, so NO ONE was stylish.

I picked Springie as the Girl with the full head of gorgeous red hair. The older one.
Originally posted by Transmute Jun I was wrong then! And I was so sure that I was right that you were the youngest girl! I recalled something you said about having 2 older siblings.I am the youngest in that photo, as my cousin and sister are older, but I also do have two older siblings -a sister and a brother. From 1978 (I'm the one who has her eyes closed.)

I like the matching sweaters! 
My mum has all my baby photo's, there are only a few since we didn't own a camera in our family growing up.
This is one of me at 16yrs old... yes I know 80's hair!

Originally posted by Transmute Jun I like the matching sweaters!My Dad got the sweaters for us in Norway. My brother had one too, except his was red, and he rarely ever wore it. After I outgrew mine, I wore my sister's. However, about five years ago I saw a picture of my brother's middle daughter, and she was wearing my old Norwegian sweater (I had completely forgotten about them by then, so it made me laugh).
