Drawn Together
“This is a photo of myself and my brother and sister wearing one of the worst Christmas presents from the late 80’s. My great aunt crocheted these matching sweaters for us and thought we would love them. We were forced to wear them to the theater when we went to see Home Alone. Embarrassing to say the least.”
Denim Days
“I am the little girl who looks to be about 40 years old and that’s my brother on the right. My mother wanted our portraits done and we didn’t want to be anywhere near each other so she bribed us with candy bars to stand back to back like best buds. Oh yeah, and clad entirely in denim. Why did we all have those giant glasses in the 80’s? I look like Tootsie.”
Half Mesh, All Man
“This is a picture of my mother’s two younger brothers and our uncle. My Uncle Mike is the hairy one in the half mesh, cut-off shirt with the socks pulled up, the one next to him is his younger brother Craig, and the one next to Craig is my Uncle Ron. This was at a family picnic back in the 1980’s. My Uncle Mike was obviously the most fashionable of the bunch.”
Glamour Girls
“A photo of my dear friend and her mom and sister.”
A Touch of Pink
“This is me, heading out to my BFF’s bat mitzvah at age 13. what you can’t see is that there’s a bow that matches the one on my shoulder on the back of my head.”
Ordinary People
“It’s ’82 and I’m the dumbfounded baby with a mullet.”
Strike a Pose 2
“This is a picture of me in 1986. I was 12 years old and, as you can tell by my pose, very confident and sassy. I had checked myself in the mirror only minutes before this photo was taken and was quite convinced that I was looking pretty good!! I had my mullet, which had been meticulously curled with hot rollers and sprayed with a generous mist of Aqua Net. I had my flannel paisley Esprit shirt with the collar up. And, finally, I had my glasses. The glasses that I myself had selected after my previous pair had been tragically broken in a sledding accident. I remember they were Diane von Furstenberg and was so proud that they were from the women’s section of LensCrafters.”
Blending In
“This is me , little bro, and little sis camping (in the 80’s) in Yellowstone.”
Punked
“Yep, this is my family. It’s from 1986. Need I say more?”
