- (FBE) So today, obviously, it's a little different.
Can you tell us who you're with?
- I'm here with my daughter, Andrea.
- I'm here with my 17-year-old daughter, Sophie.
- Hello.
- I am with one of my amazing and fabulous sons, Shane.
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna have you show your daughter
your old yearbook. - Yes, that's fantastic.
- 1989. - Glorious.
- (chuckles) The year of horrible hair and horrible fashion.
Okay. - ♪ Dun da-da dun ♪
(chuckles) - Can I first just comment
on the beauty of the cover?
- I think it's creative. - (skeptical) Do you?
- It is from 1984. It's very Orwellian.
- I'm looking at it. I'm trying to understand it.
I don't know what that is. - That's my high school.
- This is from 1988. - Just the text
where it says "eighty-eight" looks like...
I don't know, old, like '80s-ish.
We wouldn't use that font anymore.
- First and foremost, it is covered with tiny notes,
which I'm sure will just be the most revealing.
It's got the same kinda tacky-ish dedications,
that kind of whole deal.
Definitely, these outfits are pretty classic.
- Oh, man. This hair is crazy. And the makeup is super outdated,
like the blue eye shadow. - (chuckles) I liked it back then.
- You were kind of popular
with all these signatures. - (laughs) One person signed
the inside of my yearbook.
- This is so '80s. But it's weird,
'cause all these outfits are coming back in style.
- (FBE) Now, we're gonna have you take a look at your yearbook photo.
- Mm-kay. That's a different person. I don't think it's me. (chuckles)
I dress up for the picture only like that. My style was very wild.
I immigrated from Mexico here when I was 15,
and I was living with my brother. After school, I used
to work here and there, but he pretty much supported me.
- My brother's 13 right now, but when I see this
I think I see my brother, my little brother.
- Vanessa McCoy. - Yeah, the same ridiculous
bleach blonde hair still holds true today.
- It's like you're looking into a mirror.
- (laughs) - (chuckles) Nothing's changed.
- Let me remind y'all that this was pre-filters.
This was pre any kind of Snapchat, Instagram stuff to make you look good.
- There you are. - There I am. Oh my god.
The '80s was a big shoulder pad kind of time.
It was a mini skirt kind of a time. But my mom definitely did not let me,
and I remember-- this is true. Cover your ears.
- Oh my god. (chuckles) - I remember having clothes
that I wasn't allowed to wear and putting it in my backpack
and bringing it to school. I thought I was all that.
- Baddie. - I know.
- I mean, you look exactly the same with, like, a wig.
- Yeah, that's true. - Looking at you, it's just you have,
like, a different style hair. - I know
Even your teeth are the same. That's weird.
- Just the homecoming queen with her tiara
and bouquet for that matter.
You're really social.
At least, if anything's stayed constant,
it's the fact that you're a super social person,
so it doesn't surprise me at all.
- He is nominated for prom court. So, prom is Saturday night,
and finger's crossed... - Fingers crossed.
- ...we'll have a little legacy continuing here.
This is such a good picture. Please be good and safe.
We made a good couple. Lovely. I met him that night.
He's a delight. We've stayed friends,
and we're friends on Facebook to this day.
- It was probably about two weeks before school was over.
We had our nice picture, but this is us being seniors.
- It doesn't surprise me that he's like this. (chuckles)
That's my dad's personality. He seems cool,
like a cool kid or something. - What do you mean?
I still cool. (chuckles) - (chuckles) Oh my gosh.
- That was a school dance. I liked to dance
and I would dance to whatever-- - She still does.
- I still do. - It's so bad.
- I wasn't super popular, and I was very aware
of where I sat in the cafeteria.
Oh, does that exist? - No. (chuckles)
- Oh my god. - You were friends
with all the "nerds" is what you always said.
You were, like, the bottom of the "nerds."
- (laughs) All my friends are gonna be like, "Wait, what?"
- Aww. (laughs) - "Vanessa McCoy whispers
sweet nothings into her date's ear."
- (both laugh) - That's so bad.
- I could tell you exactly what I was whispering.
- (FBE) Please. - "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
- What? - Yeah.
That was the dance that my date picked me up,
and he was gonna borrow his dad's shoes,
and his feet had grown like two sizes.
He could not have them on his feet anymore,
so he literally went to the dance in his black socks.
- Cesar shows his power. - (both chuckle)
- It's pretty cool. It's a really good shot.
I think when I was super young, he tried putting me in soccer,
in a soccer team, but I didn't like the running.
- We sucked. That season, we only won one game.
- Ah. (laughs) - Yes.
- This is most popular. It's myself, Vanessa McCoy back then.
- This pose. - Oh, I know, right?
This was taken at the senior fashion show,
which they used to have local dress shops
and tux shops dress seniors in their finest
and walk 'em down the runway. It was a lot of fun.
- I'm right there with a cunning vest on, I believe.
- This just proves you that were a nerd. Not in a bad way.
- Grays were, like, a super competitive thing.
And I was so competitive. I still am.
If I lose one laugh challenge, I wanna take somebody out.
I'm not kidding around. - That's like me now,
where my mom will be like-- I'll be like, "Oh my god,
I just got a C on this test. That's so bad. Oh my god."
And she'll be like, "You're fine. It's just one test.
It doesn't define you." I don't get pressured by her,
but I put pressure on myself,
so I think that we're similar in that way.
- It's funny, cause I didn't think about him necessarily,
I just would see the pictures. It's a lot more easier, you know,
so yeah, I'm pretty grateful for that. I didn't think about how he went
through high school versus how I went through high school.
- You should've had a job when you were 13. (chuckles)
- I think it's really wholesome. I think it's really cool.
You know, I don't get that kind of aspect
of looking back in your past the all the time,
'cause we don't often kinda reflect on the past in that way.
- It's true. It's interesting when your children
can grow up to see you as humans instead of their parent.
I always think that's a good thing.
- We don't ever sit down and look through the yearbook,
and it's weird to think she was my age once.
No offense. (chuckles) - (laughs) I know.
Now, she's old as dirt! - But I just look at you
as an adult figure, and it's weird to see
all the fashion trends and also new perspective
of my mom in high school. She was a little bit of a partier,
a little bit of a rebel.
- Hi, guys. JC here, producer here at FBE.
What other Reactceptions do you want us to do?
We're down in the comments in the first 30 minutes,
so let us know. Bye, guys.
