Stripes
“Back in the seventies, my mother bought large quantities of discount fabric to make clothes for the family. Here are my father and three brothers. I’m so glad I was a girl.”

Red, White, And Groovy
“My Mom has always been a creative sewer. Back in the early 70’s she thought dressing the family alike in the cool, trendy flag cloth would be a great idea. Note the awesome brown polyester pants and cool white belts sported by the guys! And little me on my father’s knee! This picture has been out of the family’s eye for decades and I recently dug it out of somewhere. I showed it to my Mom and her reaction was “Good lord, what was I thinking?” That got a huge chuckle from me!”

Holy Roller
“I hated taking pictures when I was little, especially ones where we had to dress up. I told my mom I was done and she didn’t believe me. I didn’t mean to make this face. It just sort of happened on its own. So this is the Christmas card she got.”

Mom Wanted Twins
“This is a photo of my boyfriend when he was two years old. Why does he match that doll? Why is there a lit candle in the middle of the train? Did the photographer provide the doll and matching outfits? We will never know.”

Last Action Heroes
“I’m on the right my brother is on the left. It was the middle 80s. All I can say is I fully hold Stallone and Van Damme responsible for this. We tried. We failed. Miserably.”

Angels In The Food Court
“It was family day at the mall and my brother and I were blindsided by this awful scheme. My mother stopped right in front of one of those kiosks where you dress up your kids in mortifying costumes and take pictures of them and of course my Mom was all for it. Our faces are not the happiest, but the best part is my Shih-Tzu hair. Thanks Mom.”
