“Yes this is my family and this is taken at my 5th birthday party in 1987. My dad was driving a Trans Am Firebird !!!“
“This photo is of me and my siblings with our dad in 1986 on a summer visit to our Grandma’s home in Pennsylvania. We lived in Germany and only visited the states every other summer, hence our awkward expressions of unfamiliarity directed at the photographer (Grandma?). My husband saw this photo and thought my dad’s and my brother’s shorts were scandalously short. I recall the length being pretty normal for the 80s and perhaps even a little long. Maybe my brother and dad were just exhibiting some European fashion sensibility (they both did wear Speedo-type suits too, which we thought was perfectly normal). Not surprisingly, my sister (in blue) and I (in pink) were often mistaken for boys. I recall consciously choosing to wear pink at times, in hopes of averting any further instances of being mistakenly referred to or identified as a boy. I don’t think it worked.”
“This is a picture of me in 1986. I was 12 years old and, as you can tell by my pose, very confident and sassy. I had checked myself in the mirror only minutes before this photo was taken and was quite convinced that I was looking pretty good!! I had my mullet, which had been meticulously curled with hot rollers and sprayed with a generous mist of Aqua Net. I had my flannel paisley Esprit shirt with the collar up. And, finally, I had my glasses. The glasses that I myself had selected after my previous pair had been tragically broken in a sledding accident. I remember they were Diane von Furstenberg and was so proud that they were from the women’s section of LensCrafters.”

“Going with the theme “Bigger is Better”! Big hair, pink ruffles & lace, and the lovely paneling. Love the ’80′s!”
