Your Photo à la "Wonder Years"

 

Posted on August 26, 2008
Lucia Catania

 

If you are in your 20s or early 30s and grew up with Kevin Arnold, Paul Pfiffer and Winnie Cooper of "The Wonder Years" then you must have wondered at one time or another what your life would have been like if you had lived in the 60s or 70s. Well, thanks to Beverly Center you now can make part of your dream come true by using their viral photo application.

By using the Yearbook Yourself application, you can adopt the best in hair and clothing fashion from the 50s all the way up to the year 2000. It’s like a vintage version of Facebook. You can even choose your personality: nerd, popular, stoner, skater, jock, etc. All you need to do is upload a photo, make a few adjustments and voila! The new you à la Wonder Years. You can finally be who you dreamed of being back in high school! Try not to get too carried away by this fantasy, though. Friends and popularity are not included.

You can also choose to viralize the application. It’s become the latest hit on Facebook!

I myself couldn’t resist and in no time at all I had created the new me (my only problem was finding a photo without bangs that worked, nothing a quick digital photo can’t solve):
