Parrot Head

“Either I was really persistent or my mom was done being creative with the costumes but I cut 2 eye holes in the hollowed out top of a piñata and walk around the neighborhood as a Parrot Head. 1972.”

“Halloween 1979. I’m the outhouse. I thought then (still do!) that it was an amazing costume from conception to fruition, and can’t imagine why mom waited 4 months to get this gem developed.”

“Me sitting in a seat attached to a bare concrete wall at the pool while my siblings swam. Childcare in the 90’s was wild, man.”

Seeing Double

“This my younger brother and I, taken around 1970, when the Partridge Family was a big hit. The vests were crushed velvet and our hair was plastered with Dippity-do so it would stay in place.”
