Robin Hoffman: Perspective Lends a Helping Hand
Dem Rep: 'However Inarticulate, I Think Miss Utah Was On To Something'
.Fun new site Before You Were Hot chronicles the metaphorical duckling-to-swan journey, in human form. "We started the site after finding (and laughing about) photos from our own awkward stages," say founders Melissa Walker and Anne Ichikawa, both 32. "We realized that EVERYONE had this bad-style/silly-hair period, and we thought it would be fun to celebrate."
Indeed. At left, some examples, starting with Lynn then: patriotism with crooked glasses to boot.
... Lynn now.
Michael then: middle part, goggle glasses, bucky-the-beaver teeth and all ...
... and Michael now.
Stephanie then: In case you can't tell, there are some lovely gold initials on those sunglasses ... 
... and Stephanie now.
Jeremy then: It may not surprise you to know this young fella was suspended from junior high for 'smoking in the boys room' a few weeks after this photo was taken ...
... and Jeremy now. 
Erin then (scrunchies, retainer and all).
... and Erin now!

could you have picked a bigger bunch of losers to do this story on. It looks like the second person when from a girl to a guy. I could not agree more with nodevout. Who's paying this person to do these articles?

We met online at agelesscupi d.c ooom a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

PERFECTLY SAID! and braces do not count as a part of you. i don't know why the article mentions that. it is just a temporary device as are eyeglasses. all these people are missing symmetry, proportion, and lacking features such as a defined jawline for men or large eyes for women. erin turned out fine but michael has a dodgeball forehead, wow that is FUGLY!

I have to agree with s9 about the guy's forehead. I'm not vain and certainly not what some would consider a beauty, but that massive forehead on that Michael guy is grossss! Some people get stuck with those HUGE foreheads and I feel sorry for them. There's an actress in the movie Last Vacation who plays a secretary and she has one of those HUGE foreheads too. If I had one I'd have to buy some kind of a 'rug' to hide it. It's pretty nauseating!

Not to be mean or anything, but I actually thought some of these people were better looking in the FIRST picture.
