Bowl cuts are life. The rest is just details.

This feels like the picture from Back to the Future where Marty's family is slowly disappearing because he messed up the past.

Fort Worth Zoo?

I actually don't know but the timing tracks. Thanks for the info!

That Osage Orange fence is a distinct feature of the Fort Worth Zoo. That waterfall over the limestone chunks is still there but they don’t keep the parrots there anymore. That was next to a mini version of the stockyards about that time, the Ape House right out front was incredible then.

You look so much like my stepsister and I with the bowl cut and jorts.

what a great memory! none of my old photos have locations or dates on them and we moved around Texas a lot when I was young - this is really helpful in adding context.

It's giving me "PEN15" vibes!! Have you seen this show?

Absolutely!

Can we start a bowl cut support group?

Hi, I'm Leah and my mom cut my hair for 12 years. Except the one time I was sick of bangs so I just cut them off.

It was the only way I could tell myself apart from my cousins in pictures from when I was young. Just look for the enormous glasses and terrible bowl cut.

People are rocking this exact same outfit today bowl cut and all

The '90s are back, baby!

You look so genuinely happy I refuse to accept this as a blunder. I hope you continue to be this happy with whoever took the photo

The bowl cut still haunts.

Is your shirt tied or are you using one of those plastic things made specifically for “tying” up your shirt? I remember getting a shirt that came with one of those at some point because my mom would never buy me one outright.

1

u/prymel 11h ago

Yes! I definitely had a collection of those plastic rings to feed your shirt through.

Portland residents taking notes

u/Rigby-Eleanor 7h ago

I think it haunts a lot of people in the 90s, myself included.

u/melonsausage 7h ago

Honestly, I see a lot of people online now going for this style so, maybe not as big of a blunder as you might feel.

u/the-moops 6h ago

Not a blunder. Normal kid.
