The 80’s

Merry Christmas, Dad

“It was a typical 80’s Christmas morning. Dad must’ve been on Mrs. Claus’s nice list. I’m probably freaking out at my sister who is off camera.”

Styling The Magnum

“My grandma use to run a salon In Hawaii in the 80s around the time Tom was filming Magnum PI, and he would get his haircut there. She was able to have us meet him when we came to visit. (I was 2 yrs old at the time).”

Super Grandma

“So grandma brought all the grandkids together and decided to make these great screen-printed shirts for all of us.  Don’t know why she thought she was so ‘super’ with only four grandkids.”

The Outfit Checklist

“My checklist for leaving the house: plastic visor? Check. Awkward goggles? Check. Pink plastic Swatch watch? Check. Michael Jackson-style glove? Check. Outfit purchased at the thrift store? Check. Self esteem much higher than situation warrants? Check. ‘I’m ready, let’s hit the road!'”

“My Mom and Dad in 1987. Dad didn’t realize they were taking a picture and tried to hide his cigarette so fast it caused a smoke ring to form next to his hand.”
