Tamra Barney, Jacqueline Laurita Before They Were Housewives

Something must be in the air, because the Housewives are catching throwback fever. This week, two of our ladies have shared some seriously vintage pics.

First, there's a '80s-licious photo of The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney on Radar Online. Flaunting a bob and a teeny-weenie black string bikini, the blonde bombshell is captured modeling atop oceanside rocks. Radar Online is also showcasing a few adorable childhood photos of Tamra, where she can be seen clutching a Panda bear, posing with her siblings, and more. Of course, we're still partial to the personal shots she shared with us, like this one:

Also in nostalgia mode, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita, who asked her Twitter followers, "Want to see an old picture of me when I was kind of blonde?" Um, yes... so Jackie offered up a shot from five years ago featuring the Jersey brunette in frosty locks (we should all have looked that good five years ago). For much more of Jackie's pre-Housewives look, check out her personal photo diary.
