Say Yes To The Vest
“On family picture day, we were made to wear these homemade vests with prints of Scottish terriers on them. But what the camera doesn’t capture is the shame we felt when we put them on. Unable to look each other in the eye, we bore our humiliation with silent equanimity. The dogs and the baby weren’t having it either.”

Smoked
“Christmas sometime in the early/mid 90s and this is me and my two sisters. My neighbor worked for Marlboro cigarettes and my mother decided that since their company sweatshirts were red, we should all wear them for our Christmas pictures.”

Sesame Ave
“I think this was around ’92 or ’93. My mom worked at a nursing home and these Sesame Street characters were there for the day (???). Can you tell me how to get, how to get to…never mind.”

Break Point
“This is my birthday party (I’m the one blowing up the red balloon) in the mid 70s at the McDonalds in Richmond, BC. My mom looks like she’s had enough.”
