Irish blogger hairstyles yearbook

See this sort of thing is (a) why people shouldn't send me links and (b) why insomnia is a curse. Yes indeed, late last night with the first photo I could find, I yearbooked myself...



I quite like this one from 1956



though this one - 1988 - is quite worringly accurate for what could happen



But what about other bloggers? Would the hairstyles suit? I took the photos I could find, did a bad job at adding them and here are the results...

Ben in 1970



and then 1976



had a hairstyle like David



who in 1984



had missed Anthony's style by two years



but did resemble Andrew's



which isn't that far off Darren's 1980 do



who in 1988



shared a similar look to AJ



who, in 1964



looked a tad like Sean in 1970



Rick looked somewhat similar



though cleaned up in 1996



like Darren did in 2000



following Davy Mac's lead from 1956.



Two years later Niamh had this hairstyle



and Lottie had this one in 1964



though they changed in 1984



and in 2000 respectively



Is the new hairstyle anything like this?

(I'm going to be killed)

It's all over on www.yearbookyourself.com - an American site with remarkable viral appeal, working on selling fashions from contemporary brands and stores. I'm not sure if it's more fun trying others or yourself....

And the image that will haunt me forever but God knows if I didn't do it, someone else will...



Go on, be brave. What's your yearbook photo like?

  1. By the way, I'm well aware that my efforts (and the photos I used) were awful, so if there's any better ones (not of me...) please do have a go!

  4. ;-) - very funny, except that one of me, which is, frankly, terrifying.
    Luckily I have a good sense of humour, unluckily some of the other less-flattering results will likely result in a contract being taken out on you. Might be a good time to make sure your passport is up to date and to have some ready cash & spare clothes handy...
    Wonderful job though, insomnia has it's uses after all!

  18. Choosing a hair style depends on lots of factors such as shape of your face. Whatever you decide for yourself you must be confident with that hairstyle. Once you have decided the hairstyle you should maintain it by regular washing and setting.Find some more tips..
