Leotard Chic
“I spent much time in a leotard during the late 1970s/early 89s, evidently much to the chagrin of my grandmother and sister, both giving me the stink eye here. Mum seems not to care. Thanks, mum.

Spirit Of ’76
“This was taken in 1976 on our country’s Bicentennial because nothing screams ‘Murica’ like dressing up like our forefathers. I’m the little guy that resembles a puppet.”
