Sigh…….What a waste.

Castro Valley High FTW. She was really pretty. The hair suits her better aesthetically, but I'm sure she feels better in her skin as it is now.

What are you people talking about? She looks exactly the same, just with long blonde hair. Throw on a wig and she'd look exactly like that now! I'm not saying she ain't hawt, I'm just saying this is no big change.

Proving that Rachel Maddow always was, and always will be, freakin' adorable.

Fun fact: that was the only pearl necklace she ever wore.

Probably the only pearl necklace Rachel's ever had.

I think this would embarrass the hell out of her if she wasn't busy in Afghanistan.

I think she's just as adorable now! The short, brown hair really suits her face. But obviously she was adorable as a typical blonde teenager, too. :)

whoa…whoa.. whoaaaaa…. thats a crazy transformation girl went under…

Most politicians were hot when they were 18. Especially the charismatic ones. Not really much of a coincidence….

Smart and Sexy, she's our generation's Cronkite.
Love Her and Her Show.

I think Rachel Maddow looks like John Stewart.

looks pretty dudeish to me.

get the fuck out of here. One can only hope she was wearing keds for that photo as well.

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!
