Attention everyone...Marilyn has a WEB PAGE !! You can check it out at www.marilynsmithartist.com!
Nicole, please publish the following disclaimer in a prominent place:
I hesitated to make long narratives with these posts, but Nicole said she might put the whole blog thing into a book form someday, and I could use this as a forum for writing for my kids and grandkids. I can’t pass up an opportunity like that. So rather than bore you, feel free to skip anything you’re not interested in or don’t want to be bothered to read. Sonja
Note from Nicole:
I am happy to do this for anybody that is interested. I am enjoying hearing from each of you and would love to hear from more. Thanks Sonja for taking the time to work on this and giving us an opportunity to get to know you better.
Kids from Lt to Rt:Marilyn, Barbara, Veon Jr., Gladys, Gerald, Evan. Clyda and Veon in the Middle.

When Vidal Sasson came out with the Sasson haircut, I jumped on that bandwagon and never jumped off.

I had it cut short with a perm for most of high school. I would mouse it and scrunch it so that it sat on my head in a triagle sort of shape.
I had various lengths and curliness of the same bob haircut through high school and beyond, until about 5 years ago when I cut it short. I wasn't super trendy but I think I was more or less in style.
My hair was mostly long and straight. My early teens was the end of the big, permed, feathered hair. I pretty much just grew it out. In junior high school, I was a little concerned with being in-style (had to have Girbaud and Guess jeans). The summer between junior high and high school, I was really influenced by two movies, Forrest Gump and Dazed and Confused, especially because I've always been drawn to the 60's and 70's. SO, in high school I wasn't "in-style" with the mainstream (which at the time were mid-drifts and other styles I didn't like), but I was following the neo-hippi/grunge style of the times. Pretty silly. I think I've mostly been "in-style", but have always kept somewhat of a style of my own.

By now, if you’ve been reading, you’ve figured out that up through 7th grade I was pretty much out of it - underdeveloped, awkward, shy, no fashion consciousness, and in 7th grade had an ugly haircut. The summer between 7th and 8th grades, I took the Grey Hound Bus with Asenath back to Missouri because I was so miserably homesick. Over that summer I filled out some and my hair grew out, back to the middle of my back - and I’ve always had good hair, if the haircut is even halfway decent. I had learned a thing or two about how to dress, (and, I realize now, that’s when I first developed a passion for shoes).
Midvale Jr. High School was brand new that year, when Ann and I went back to the 8th grade. I had changed from an ugly duckling to something not too bad. Because I had been with myself through the process, I didn’t know what a difference there was in me. It took me a while to figure out what was happening, and I almost missed the ques to GO with the positive responses. It was a real turning point in my life, and in how I saw myself. Prior to the 8th grade I was never in style. After 8th grade - always! Sonja
I was very fortunate. My parents provided good clothing for me. My hair was always short. I always liked shoes real well.
