Laid Back Leather
“This was taken in I think 1993 when I was 11 and my mom took me to get glamour shots at this little hair salon in rural Massachusetts. I remember thinking how cool I looked but now I just have to laugh.”

Born This Way
“Our mom who is a photographer thought it was the cutest thing to wear tutus and pretend we were ballet dancers. She could force us to wear those and pose like that, but she can’t force our expressions!”

The Dental Photo Opp
“Our family went to the dentist. The man to the right is our dentist. Our little brother was still feeling the effects of the laughing gas and we all decided to take a picture.”

Clown Clan
“This family photo was from around 1980 and I am on the lower left. When I was a child my mother started clowning and we became a professional clown family. We went to hospitals, parades, birthdays, school carnivals, and even began a clown society that outlasted our participation in it. We actually have an entire exhibit dedicated to us at the Museum or Whimsy in Astoria, OR.”
