June PoWriMo Day 26
Excerpt for today:

June PoWriMo Prompt #26
Today is all about trends. We are all guilty of falling victim to a trend or two, especially in our younger days. If nothing else, our old pictures remind us of the fashionable choices we made that we should have avoided.
For me, it has to be apple pectin perms to make my impossibly thick hair curly, which made into a human poodle. Ha, need I say more? 😉
Prompt – think back to a trend that you followed. Why did you do it? Regret it much? Embarrassed much? Or do you own it? Write about it.
