My as a Newborn in mum's arms.

One generation watches the next watching the latest...
A wee little Dinah in the lap of my godmother, Priscilla.
LET ME OUT!!
My mother, brother, and me at 367 days old. (Me, not them) August, 1980.
My 13 year old brother playing 'Telephone' with me, still in his soccer uniform. He was/is an AMAZING brother, I couldn't have had better.
My 2nd Birthday.
1st Grade
My brother after his night-time wedding, he worked in theater and married an actress. ::rolls eyes:: so they married AFTER she closed her run of 'West Side Story'. My mum looks like she is interviewing her because we didn't even know he even had a girlfriend and he called us THE DAY BEFORE he married this stranger. I just turned 12 a few weeks before and my now tall,talented, and handsome brother was holding my hand as I brought him a stuffed heart he gave to ME when I was in Kindergarden. I wanted him to see I kept it. Marriage folded, but he is still my best friend!!
OK, here I am barely 14..and why do I looked shocked?? Because my 23 year old boyfriend of 6 months had just proposed.
A week later with my brother, Jan 1st 1994. I remember the date because it was the first time I was ever hung over. And yes, I am in tie-dye and my T-shirt has animals sitting on the planet with the slogan 'They were here FIRST'. "I was a 14 year old Vegan..."
Now I am 20... and Blaek and I were pregnant, but I was still modeling at the studio, although I was starting to show. We all call this my "Let's hide Dinah's pregnancy as long as possible" phase/period. I believe I miscarried the following month or so.
Outside the club I worked at months later with a co-worker from the studio. Yes, I chopped his head off for a good reason.
Mark, me, and Blaek going to see Depeche' Mode. It was my 2nd time, his first, 8th row center I think? I loved wearing those 4 inch boots around him..it was the only time I didn't have to stand on my toes to kiss him!! The tall S.O.B.
Finally Living In New York, early 00's
Finally have a COAT for the weather... LOL.
My First Roommate up there (my big brother) shouting down from the window "You're STILL going to do your jog!!???!? Even though it's 20 degrees and snowing?!"
Me: "YUP!!"
The Blizzard of 2003.. Jim made it OVER snow-drifts.
I fell THROUGH them, much to his delight, the giggling Bast%^d!! LOL
BFF slabgar comes to visit, but we BOTH have the flu this day, thus his dejected look.
Finally me wearing my mac indoors, managing a bar in NYC. Asked how it feels to have made it to the top of the THIRD profession I had put my mind to, I give a thumbs up... And it's captured for all eternity on film. I have not given a 'Thumbs Up' in the decade that has followed....
Whoomp, there it is.
