Best Dressed? Yeah, right.

BP guessed in the comments to my four and one meme post that there seemed to be a contradiction between (2) and (5). How could I have been voted "Best Dressed" in my Senior High School Yearbook if I was also into break dancing in high school? Who ever heard of a well-dressed break dancer?

Well, (2) was the lie. I certainly was not voted "Best Dressed." On the contrary, if there had been a "Worst Dressed" category, I would have won it. I committed every fashion sin of the 80's:

• Parachute pants
• Tiger-striped bandannas
• Mirrored sunglasses
• A Michael Jackson "Beat It" jacket
• Sleeveless t-shirts with my name on the back

(I'm particularly embarrassed about the last item on that list.)

If I had been a celebrity, I would have been featured regularly on Go Fug Yourself.

The only thing that kept me from dressing even worse was my limited budget. I borrowed my more expensive tacky clothes, such as the "Beat It" jacket and the parachute pants, from my best friend Doug.

I was actually voted "Most Intellectual" in my Senior High School Yearbook.
