Lisa\u2019s looks like it could be a promo shot for a 90s teen drama, while Meredith\u2019s has people\u2026 asking questions. Lots of them. And the comments? Completely unhinged in the most predictable, Bravo-adjacent way.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"270\" data-end=\"968\">Let\u2019s break down what actually popped up, why everyone\u2019s losing it, and how both women have unintentionally rewritten their origin stories with one grainy photo.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"1004\">Old photos of Meredith surfaced<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">vintage Lisa Barlow &amp; Meredith Marks <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/rhoslc?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#rhoslc<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dL4n1cgliy\">pic.twitter.com\/dL4n1cgliy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 @suttonsroller (@suttonsroller) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/suttonsroller\/status\/1725346438211625373?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1451\">So here\u2019s the thing: Meredith\u2019s yearbook photo isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just\u2026 shockingly different from the Meredith we know today. In the image doing the rounds, she\u2019s listed as Meredith Rosenberg, wearing a patterned sweater, minimal makeup, and sporting truly gigantic early-90s hair. Not the glamorous kind, the &#8220;my hair has been through something&#8221; kind. But, it&#8217;s real, it&#8217;s raw. We can give her kudos for that.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"2036\">Naturally, social media did what social media does. The tweet that kicked things off showed Lisa and Meredith side by side with the caption &#8220;vintage Lisa Barlow and Meredith Marks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"2036\">But the comments are what sent it into the stratosphere. One user joked: &#8220;Meredith looks like she was raised in a field by wolves,&#8221; which immediately became the running joke across Bravo threads. Under an Instagram repost, someone else piled on with: &#8220;Meredith done lived through the Great Depression, good for getting out boo&#8221;\u00a0 along with a GIF of a woman in a frilly pink dress looking confused.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2265\">It\u2019s chaotic, sure, but it also highlights just how much <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2025\/11\/14\/every-scathing-response-meredith-has-fired-at-anyone-who-questioned-her-and-seths-marriage\/\">Meredith has transformed<\/a> since her school-photo era. The glam, the contour, the sleek hair, none of that existed yet. This is Meredith before Meredith became Meredith.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2267\" data-end=\"2314\">A young Lisa Barlow is doing the rounds, too<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Need more young Lisa Barlow content to finish my 2022 mood board because the serve here \u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ifLwdNs7sr\">pic.twitter.com\/ifLwdNs7sr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 eric (@kiingric) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kiingric\/status\/1480311341353164803?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 9, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2316\" data-end=\"2618\">Meanwhile, Lisa\u2019s photo is circulating for the opposite reason.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2316\" data-end=\"2618\">She looked gorgeous in high school. Her throwback is full 90s perfection, thick glossy curls, soft glam makeup, and an off-the-shoulder purple top that feels surprisingly on-brand for someone who now treats glam like a competitive sport.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2620\" data-end=\"2926\">People aren\u2019t dragging Lisa\u2019s photo so much as admiring it. Comments are very &#8220;she\u2019s always been that girl&#8221; coded. Compared to Meredith\u2019s photo, which has basically become meme currency, Lisa\u2019s is borderline professional.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"3133\">And Lisa embracing nostalgia is nothing new. She occasionally shares older pics on Instagram, usually tied to anniversaries or family moments, so the vibe already fits her brand. Viewers love that for her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/\"><span
