Looks like high school wasn't that long ago for you or you have found the fountain of youth. Tell me about your nose? Is it just the light in that photo or did you really have your nose changed?
I graduated high school in 1989...the reunion is being planned, thus the emergence of the Facebook alumni group.
My old nose? My mother always thought my nose was too wide and masculine. My entire adolescence was spent with my mother putting her fingers in front of my nose to visualize it narrower (ever see "I crush your head"? Like that). Finally when I was on Christmas break from freshman year of college, my mother had made an appointment with a plastic surgeon who operated on her best friend's daughter. He was supposed to be impossible to get an appointment with.
We went to the appointment and I was still on the fence about it. My mother spoke about scheduling, and they said, "Well, when would you like to come in?" This was odd, considering he was the "Surgeon to the Stars" at the time. But we jumped on it and booked it for the week I returned from school in May.
Had the surgery, went fine...blah blah blah. In the long run, I was glad I did it, but I totally could have gotten away without ever doing it.
About a year after the surgery, the cover of New York Magazine had my surgeon with the headline, "Rumor of AIDS Destroys Career" or something to that effect. I have the issue in my file cabinet. Apparently his old partner had left and started a new practice or something, so he spread a rumor that the doctor was gay and HIV positive. This was in the late 80's when nobody knew how AIDS was spread and when people were all catching it from their dentists. So I was one of Dr. Reese's last patients.
wtf? I can't believe you are older than me, I thought I had a good 6 years on you! I graduated in 90. I never, ever would have guessed you had some nose work done, that means it was done REALLY well.
no it's a good thing - because from the pictures of you now it didn't occur to me - but the difference is obvious in the pictures because of the 80s-ness, kwim? i'm 33, so i was starting high school when you were finishing it. michael is 37 (but graduated high school in 88).

It's always a story with me, huh? :-)
