YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY High School Audrina, Classic Audrina, Current Audrina

Fully-clothed pictures of a high-school era Audrina Patridge have surfaced, putting us in a reflective state of mind on this solemn Monday. Looking at Audrina's yearbook photo, we can't help but swell with pride. She was once just another blonde SoCal high schooler with the sort of mediocre dye job that plagues so much of the Golden State. Luckily, she came to her senses in time for the MTV gods to snatch her up when she just happened to be a hot brunette sunning herself around the pool of Lauren and Heidi's Park La Brea digs (OMG, Lauren and Heidi were friends then, seems like so long ago). At that point, she was just another struggling actress/receptionist in L.A. Fast forward to today:

• Death of Yves Saint Laurent Puts End to Feud With Karl Lagerfeld
• Emo Kids: We're Not Suicidal, Just have Questionable Tastes In Music
