Kids

Brigitte Bardon’t

“My mother took this picture of me with my father in front of a salacious wax sculpture of Brigitte Bardot. It’s yet another prime example of the laissez-faire style of parenting we endured in the 1970s.”

Hunny Pout

“My mom was so excited about her Disney official costumes. She apparently planned this photo shoot long before I was born.”

Wade In The Water

“This is the result of me getting the lead in a play. I had to stand in a blow-up swimming pool on stage in a swimsuit while a group of kids sang ‘She waded in the water’ behind me. The grand finale was me getting my swim suit wet. Definitely awkward back then, but kind of creepy now.”

Biohazard

“I don’t know what’s funnier, my babysitter’s industrial grade mask or my mom sifting through her weed to the right.”

Barely Bunny

“He was billed as the ‘Easter Bunny’ at my local San Fernando Valley (CA) mall and I was rightfully hesitant.”

Ferbie Starter

“This was our first family photo session. I had cut my own bangs and was told to bring a toy. The picture is a result of this.”

Good Grief

“Reckon it’s around 1982 and this guy’s meant to be Snoopy!! I was a mega fan so clearly love is blind.”
