Yay .... let 's see some throw-back photos, but only if you're old like me!

Not a clue where pics might be; I've moved too often. Put imaginations to work -
Surfer girl thru and thru. Long straight blonde - usually wet. Very, very tan. Way too young to have passed for even an approximation of an adult when I more or less ran off to San Francisco. That is, had I been brave enough to go topless as was the norm. The stuffing would have filled a Kleenex box. I was either too broke to have purchased a padded bra or lacked the foresight.
I wore a lot of flower tiaras though ....

Virginia, a similar tale to the one Ravindra shared. Not mugged or anything but the proverbial evil stepmother who trashed all my memories - scibblings, photos, memorablia, etc. - when I was in college.
The many moves since then have meant I always have my daughter's memories packed and stored as FRAGILE. Do Not Touch -

Oh ... well that's just sad, Wendy. Hard to believe anyone could be capable of doing that to someone's memories.

@ Virginia:
Did your post get zapped?
“Ah ... the okra. First I drew, colored and cut them out, putting little holes in the tops. I painted my face green, and fashioned a microphone out of an antique wooden spool. Needless to say it took a long time for anyone in my office (still in the B&M world then) to know who or what I was, because only one person recognized what the okra was, and after I ‘interviewed’ her, she put two and two together. Okra it's rather an unknown vegetable to a lot of people, lol.”
You have a fertile imagination and plenty of spunk.
Okra I do know very well. Thank heavens it was available at the supermarkets in the US. Okra and pita bread was a staple diet for me (in between the tater tots and pizzas).
ETA: Edited the post.

Thanks. It was a take-off on another Halloween costume when I still lived in Grand Lake. That year I was Opa Winfrey
The phrase "Opa!" was heard many times around that small mountain town before shots of whatever where downed. So that year, I had little plastic shot glasses dangling from my ears, and sewn all over the top I was wearing.
People still talk about Opa Winfrey ... many years later.
