Sweater Ninjas
“My sweet, beautiful, uber-feminine grandma raised 5 boys. However, the vast majority of her grandchildren were girls, with whom she could finally enjoy dressing up in frilly clothing and playing with dolls, tea sets, etc. Even as we grew older, our grandma still relished shopping for us. Here are my cousin and I being good sports at Christmas, wearing the token “twin sweaters” with Grandma. Special shoutout to us for also incorporating the gift ribbon as part of this winning getup, as well as Grandma’s ‘Ted’ sweater. Fashionistas all around!”

Blinded By The Light
“My husband and mother were trying to take a picture with our three daughters at Iguazú Falls in Argentina. The middle child was loving it, but the sun was too bright for the youngest, and the oldest…well, keep looking and you’ll spot her. When we finally looked over the photos days later, we could not stop laughing at her face and hand held out looking for help!”

Cowboy Up
“I actually like these photos, which I believe are the only posed photos we ever had shot as a family. Sure, future generations will look at us and think WTF? But those were the times, man, and my Dad loved his cowboy hat.”

Directory Assistance
“This is myself, my partner, Alison and our then five-year-old son, Theo. our church decided to make a pictorial directory, and this is our entry. Theo was pissed at us about something. Yet, he agreed to participate in the photo. Who says lesbians make unfit parents?”
