Bangin’
“The day before school pictures 1984 my mom was complaining that I wore black too often (all the time). So after making myself beautiful on school picture day I grabbed an old white sweater vest out of her closet and wore it to school. She still was not pleased with my school photos. Wonder why?”

Party of Five
“That’s me in the middle. This was a promotional photo for my parents’ touring ventriloquism act in the late 90s. The vests were made just for the occasion.”

Daughter Brawl
“This pretty much sums up my childhood. I’m the blond on the left burying my head in my sister’s lap while she gets in a cheap shot. The youngest is fish-hooking my other sister while my mother looks on and laughs. My father is letting everyone know what his future looks like with four daughters like these.”

Clown Shy
“1987 – my birthday party at The Ground Round. That’s me being held by my mom, laser focused on the clown and not having it.”
