Laurie

Laurie, age 4

Woodland Hills, California (1981)

As a kid, I always enjoyed dressing up in more 'boyish' clothes. 

"I Was Born To Boogie" 

I loved my Star Wars figures, and hated Barbie dolls.

I wore boys Under-roos (Superman was my favorite!) and played sports.  

I knew I was really different around the age of 12 when I was working as a camp counselor in training and developed a crush on my counselor Erica.

Erica was just beautiful and always made me nervous when I was in her presence.

The rest is history...

I love this picture of me -- I was a cute kid!

Laurie's first, famous-person same sex crushes:
Jane Wiedlin (The Go-Go's) & Madonna
