My Mother’s Blood, Sweat, And Tears

“I think I’m somewhere around 10 in this photo, which would put it somewhere in the mid-80s. This hairstyle is the result of curlers left in overnight and a curling iron in the morning, and a lot of my mother’s blood, sweat, and tears. It is little wonder why I had no friends as a child.”

Chopped

“The 80’s were an experimental time for Dad when it came to facial hair. Here he is reading the Cabela’s catalog with my brother. I am not sure what the knife was for. I always wondered if his chin got cold.”

Action Hero

“Hubby is going through old pics at his Mom’s. We’ve been texting baby pictures back and forth comparing each other to our baby. Then he sends me this one. And this is why I love him so much.”

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.”

It Wasn’t Even Halloween

“I wanted to be a teen model desperately and needed pictures to send to modeling agencies so I had mom take some pictures of me with my three favorite things – black lipstick, stuffed animals and of course Motley Crue. I never got called.”
