Something Borrowed

“What goes well with Picture day? The roach clips I found in my sisters room.”

“I don’t know what my favorite part of this picture is: the blank stare (I wore glasses and couldn’t see anything), the pulled back hair, my gap-tooth ‘smile,’ or the shirt, buttoned ALLLLLL the way to the top, which features a dog pissing on a fire hydrant. It’s a wonder I had any friends. I’m pretty sure this shirt is the reason I despise wearing button downs.”

Totally 80’s

“I love this photo because there was no doubt in my mind that I looked absolutely awesome that day. This was my favorite look and I rocked it with zero shame. Incidentally, it would be years before a boy actually liked me, but I was too cool to care.”

Permfection

“This is me. What in the world my mom was thinking when she did this to me, I cannot say. Between the homespun clothes and the perm gone wrong, I never had a chance.”

Keep Your Eye On The Ball

“My brother threw a ball at my eye when I was 10 years old and it was picture day two weeks later. My eye stayed like this for 4 years. I was also in Special Ed at the time. I think this is why I became a stand-up comic.”

Dad Hair Day

“This is what happens when Mom goes out of town and Dad is responsible for making sure I am ready for picture day at school.”

You Better Smile

“My son wouldn’t smile for a camera. So on this picture day, as I took him to preschool, I told him he’d better smile for the camera. When I came to pick up the photos, the teacher pulled me aside and said that the photographer was in tears, and this was the best he could do. At first, I was a little mad that my son couldn’t pull out a real smile, but it’s quickly become my most cherished photo.'”
