Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
August 21, 2008
Thanks to Tracy H. for the link — the website www.yearbookyourself.com is obviously sponsored by a giant mall chain, but still provided me with a full twenty minutes of enjoyment, despite its odd entreaties to attempt to replicate my 1952 look with a trip to The Limited, and to reproduce the coolness of a 1986 Walkman with a trip to Radio Shack.
You upload a photo of yourself, and see yearbook photos of yourself from different eras. Sometimes your face comes out sort of too high or too low or scaled a little wrong, and, despite the little buttons, you can’t really fix it, and you look not only retro but a bit Down-Syndromy. Here are some of the ones I thought worked the best:
1952!
1960!
1966!
1968!
1990! So crunchy! In the hairspray sense.
1994! Still crunchy!
1996! The year I actually graduated from high school. I should have tried this look! I think it’s pretty sweet.

- Cheesy Mnemonics for GRE Vocab: Tantamount - Mnemonics or mnemonic devices are memory tricks to help us remember things like vocabulary words.
