I was perusing through online photos and came across this long, lost picture that I had intended to share with The Neighborhood last year when I did an extensive article on Tacoma's famous Rhodes Department Store and my grandma's continued involvement in preserving her former employer's value, history, and alumni connections. I attempted to post this photo (amongst others), but our blog was crashing continuously and I gave up.
So, here's yours truly, in my 1970's glory, as the poster child for Rhodes. Well, not really. I was one of the winners of a photo contest that the Rhodes portrait studio held. I think I was probably five years old in the picture. I love those little touches; the plastic daisy, my crooked bangs, and my groovy green clothes.
I have more great historic photos of Rhodes, courtesy of my grandma. More to come! Readers and bloggers, break out those Rhodes memories and share!

What a dawwwrling pic of you as a young girl! No wonder you won the contest! I admire your grandmother keeping up with this group of former Rhodes employees and would love to hear their story!
More Rhodes stuff to come!
I don't notice your crooked bangs, only your beautiful smile. :)

P.S. If you ever want to see a real example of crooked bangs, I have a drawerful. Due to a cowlick in front (I'm blessed with 2-3) and a thrify mom with no beauty school training who styled my hair for years, I AM the poster girl for crooked bangs.
*sigh* I was responsible for crooked bangs on my son...and my first husband...I'm not allowed near scissors and hair anymore!
