Barney And Fiends
“Beaver, Pennsylvania 1992 at a birthday party (mine I believe). I was obsessed with Barney, but I knew this one was a “fake.” His eyes still haunt me in the darkest depths of my nightmares.”

Birthday By George
“For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, we made masks of her obsession, George Michael, for all of the little girls. Didn’t realize how scary it would look when they pulled them all on at the same time.”

The Glass Blowers
“My Dad’s 85th birthday. Took a picture outside the restaurant which was in a very artsy part of town. Wasn’t until I posted it on Facebook that a friend pointed out that the writing on the wall behind us was hilarious. Of course it originally said glass blowing.”
