The 70’s

Bunny Hop

“This was me around 3 years old, 1978-ish. For some reason our dancing school thought that dressing up girls as Playboy Bunnies and having them dance to ‘Shake Your Booty’ was perfectly acceptable.”

The Champ

“My sister and I in the 70s. I was a clumsy kid and got a black eye right before Halloween, so Mom came up with a costume to go with it. The only makeup I’m wearing is the mustache.”

Graduation Casual

“I am the lucky one in the middle on my high school graduation day in June 1979. The two bathing beauties next to me are my sisters. Guess it was hot that day and they obviously decided not to go to the ceremony.”

Bargain Bin Twins

“My mom found two outfits in the same size at a thrift store. And since her 11-year-old daughter (me) was the same size as her, she thought it would be a fabulous idea to have our picture in our matching outfits. If you can call them outfits. Don’t miss the matching ‘fros or the creepy field, either.”

Recreation Ahoy

“My sisters and I decided to do a 40-year recreation of us in these gawd-awful sailor outfits. We had them made and set the stage for a Mother’s Day gift for our mom.”

OG Napoleon Dynamite

“My senior yearbook photo, shot in the summer of 1977. My mother handed me her charge card (with a note allowing me to use it) and dared to let me go alone to pick-out my photo attire. She was horrified when I brought home a green leisure suit, sans tie. She marched me back to Montgomery Ward and returned it, and purchased this proper three-piece corduroy suit, in rust, complete with a clip-on tie and matching suede shoes. Not only was I Napoleon Dynamite before he was even born, when I looked at the yearbook photos the next year, most of the boys wearing leisure suits didn’t graduate. Thanks Mom!”

Keeping Their Noses Clean

“Taken at a formal photographer’s studio  in 1975. Mom and Dad did it as a joke but I really meant it.”
