Spank E. Cheese
“This is me in 1984 getting spanked by Chuck E. Cheese on my 10th Birthday. I do not know why my mom didn’t see what was wrong with this picture!”

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.”

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