Kids
K.O.
“This is my older sister (by 12 years) and my father. She got boxing gloves for Christmas and thought it would be a good idea to challenge our father. From the picture, you can tell, it wasn’t such a good idea.”

Overwater
“At 9 years old, I learned to waterski. Being short, I got a lot of spray in the face. Goggles seemed like a good idea at the time.”
Lipstick
“This is me after I used up a tube of my mother’s lipstick…everywhere but my lips. Needless to say, my mother felt the need to capture this on film. Upon seeing it, most people comment that I look like I’m covered in blood. Lovely.”

Fish Food
“When I was about 9 or 10, my mum and dad took me and my sister on holiday to Wales. My dad is the biggest wind up merchant and never happy until he can make a kid cry. On this occasion, he had convinced me that the lake was full of man eating piranha fish and 6 ft deep. This was taken by mum, you can’t see my sister laughing behind her, but my whining and protesting at the prospect of being fish food made for a good photo that’s haunted me for years. Dad has just confessed after 30 yrs that he felt bad for making me cry!”

Claw VS Paw
The Clawrate Kid has met his match.
Couchsmoking
“Me and my step dad back in 1991. He refused to take a photo without his beer AND his cigarette present. This one also features my undies showing and that god awful couch everyone seems to have had during the late 80s and early 90s.”
“Taken back in roughly 85/86. Me and my Uncle Chuck, who apparently thought he was Hugh Hefner and was allowed to wander around the house in his robe and pj’s all day, every day.”
