Player’s Club

“This is me aged fourteen at my aunt’s house playing dress up with her traditional party clothes. I have no idea why she had a giant Playboy mural on her wall, nor why my mother thought it was fine to photograph her teenage daughter next to it.”

Under Woman

“Apparently wearing underoos for a Halloween costume back in 1984 (while posing in the most 1980s room ever) was completely acceptable for a 5 year old girl, according to my mom.”

The Chug

“This is a picture of my family on Easter sometime in the 90’s. I’m on the right with the stonewashed pink pants, mullet to match my older brother’s. The only thing in this picture that focuses the awkwardness away from me is my Grandpa in the next room slamming what I hope to be his first Easter beer of the day because if memory serves me correctly, we always took our pictures before church.”

Two Thumbs Up

“My 6 year old daughter drew a picture of me ‘giving two thumbs up.’ Apparently I had gas that day as well.”

Way Of The Dragon

“A photographer came to the karate studio my parents made me go to back in 1982. I had no interest in karate and wasn’t good but I sure looked like hot stuff with my pose and props. This pic has gone from my most embarrassing to my absolute favorite.”

Tune In Tokyo

“My dad is the baby in this photo. Apparently there was some confusion back then about what exactly feeds a baby.”

My Left Foot

“Swollen left foot on the wedding. And well, no shoe plus the bowtie got crooked and the usher’s tie was too short.”
