I am tickled to death by all the people who have dug in thier archives to find their highschool photos to support Girls Write Now! In case you missed the game, I'll donate $5 for every person who send me a picture of themselves as a teen and $10 if you post that photo on your blog and spread the news about GWN. (Here's the original post.) I know a lot of people are heading home for the holidays, so raid those photo albums. And don't fret if you don't have a scanner. You can use your digital camera to photograph a photo and it comes out pretty good. So, with no further ado... Here are the first batch of photos. (Click on the mosiac see them better.) Also check out the blogs where some folks posted more photos, and all talked about the teenage them!

If you feel bad about your corny pictures from high school, remember over half the girls in NYC never make it to graduation. So, there's your guilt trip. Now share. And while you're at it. Make a donation to GWN. I'll match it, dollar for dollar!
