Last Action Heroes

“I’m on the right my brother is on the left. It was the middle 80s. All I can say is I fully hold Stallone and Van Damme responsible for this. We tried. We failed. Miserably.”

Pump Up The Volume

“This is my 2 sisters and me in a portrait that was an anniversary gift for our parents. Our sister Michelle, in red with a hybrid ‘Farrah Fawcett /Pittsburgh big hairdo, was the one who thought this would be the perfect gift (she footed the bill).”

Hair Club

“This family photo was taken at Sears in 1987 as present to our mom. I guess you can tell we all loved heavy metal music. The guy on the back right is the oldest of the four brothers and yes that’s his real hair. The one in the front left is me, the youngest of the four, and I was pissed that I had to take this picture.  We asked if they had an alley way for the back drop, but had to settle for a plain one.”

“Mom didn’t trust my dad to hold me outside the carrier.”

Thanksgiving Meltdown

“That’s me with the curls. Apparently not being allowed to stay at the table was enough to warrant a complete meltdown at the family Thanksgiving meal. Everyone else is doing a great job of ignoring me.”
