Tributes to a Weird Girl
FOUND by Burnsy in Missouri City, TX
This was on the inside of a San Antonio yearbook from 1991 of a "weird" girl named Heather (also called Leather twice) with apparently a strange sense of humor.
Night in gale
She made class go by faster? What, did she have a kick ass time machine or something?

Have a good summer everybody!

Ya know, there WAS a time when the word "ass" was really not spoken in polite company, nor written down in yearbooks or elsewhere for the ages to see. (unless it referred directly to a particular 4-legged farm animal)

Heather liked leather. She would often dress up and beat me with a whip while we studied (hence the weird and strange part.) She loved Michael Jackson (another weird and strange person.)

Yearbooks in 1976
Yeah, Librarian, but I think that time had passed by 2001. Note date on message from up-tight Jennifer.

With the exception of not being nicknamed after tanned hides, this could have been a page from my high school yearbook.

Yearbooks in 1976
1991 not 2001. No matter; comment above still applies. A lot of social mores went out the window in the 1980s.

Stuck in in the 70s
That what is wrong with society. People have lost self respect and respect for others. I would have never used that language or the F word when speaking with others. Much less write it down for all to see.

Stuck in there with you
Yuppers. Loss of respect and there is no longer any shame. Heaven forbid you should make anyone feel guilty for having children out of wedlock or wearing their pants below their butt or living off of public assistance.

fooch in a weird mood
Heather is a kindergarten teacher now and loves to dress up everyday in a different weird costume, kind of like Miss Frizzle.
The kids love her, although the parents are slightly uncomfortable, but think she is cool.

unbeknownst to her classmates Heather/Leather had some OCD repetitive issues which she got locked into on the word's assoff and kickass from her ... she finally ran away from home, and ended up in Amsterdam where she spends a great deal of time on all fours...

happy in my own little world
I'm curious to know if the finder looked in the yearbook to find a photo of Heather? Should there have more than one Heather perhaps her weirdness might have come through?

I would want to know if I was weird.

The suspense is unbearable -- did she graduate or have to spend another year with Jennifer?
+ July 08, 2009 10:31 AM +
Librarian in the woodwork

It would be hard to track her down, though, because of that law back in the 1980's and 1990's that between 45%-70% of the girls in any one school class had to be named "Heather."

It's Joan Jett as Leather Tuscadero..! Pinky's rebellious little sister.

Tara, you can email info@foundmagazine.com and someone there should be able to help you recover your login information- as long as you remember what email address you registered under. Otherwise, you'll probably have to re-register with a different email (and a much higher user number.)

I graduated in '77, and my yearbook was full of F bombs!!!

Frottage in the back of the class, reading Spider-Man comics and pondering his burgeoning sexuality
What kind of girl is Heather? Let's ask Jennifer: "And I hope you graduate if not ill see you next year!"

Oh, fertilizer! Captain beat me to the Leather Tuscadero comment...only Leather Tuscadero was played by Suzy Quatro. Who was definitely the sort to leg-levitate your burro.
(Think about it...)

It always surprised me that I got such friendly comments written in my school yearbook or on the back of senior pictures given to me by girls I didn't know realised I was alive.

Neu in the school
well people seem to surely like her, so i guess we could all use a little of "Leather's" weirdness

Not Night in Gale but I can help a little
Tara Elizabeth -- I can't help much but the find you're talking about is this:

Reading in Bed
I can't believe that nobody mentioned Jen-E's need to identify herself and her love for Ryan. Like her Love for Ryan totally and completely defines who she is at that instant in time.

(Of course other than Ryan in a colony of Slipperman, yes Jen E loves you, yes she does!)

Random in formation
No one commented on the fact that Jennifer left her locker combination. Just had to get that secret off her chest.
