The Crossing Guard
“My mother sent me to school on 4th grade picture day with my hair in little pigtails and a cute outfit. I threw my favorite shirt in my book bag and when it was my turn to get my photo taken, I put on my shirt and my crossing guard helmet and badge. Imagine her surprise when she opened the picture envelope and saw her little girl drunk with crossing guard power.”

Styling & Profiling
“This is my little sister on picture day. I remember she did not want curls in her hair that morning. The profile says it all. I guess they got her to cheer up eventually!”

On The Rocks
“We loved this particular beach in Minnesota. We didn’t realize what the writing on the rock meant until much later! My sister (left) and her best friend would sit and play in front of that rock for hours.”

The Triangle
“My mother got her hairdresser diploma in 1987. I was a poor innocent victim of her experiments. I guess she put a billiard triangle around my head and put in some hairspray.”

Silver Bullets

Sweaty Santa
“Christmas Eve, 1995; Michoacán, México and it was 40 °C (104 °F). My mom really wanted to get a cute photo of me sitting on Santa’s lap, but I wasn’t having it. So we both posed with this poor sweaty Santa and she actually made the thing into a calendar.”
