Looks Like Teen Spirit

“The 3 older kids (including myself with the red hair) were victims of the grunge/punk/goth surge of the early 90’s.  A ton of pent up teenage angst between 3 high schoolers.  As you can probably tell, none of us were very thrilled at the idea of a family photo.  My two younger brothers simply had the misfortune of being young!  We didn’t have a lot of money growing up, and while my mother is an absolute sweetheart she was not a professional hairdresser for obvious reasons. Put the bowl on the head and snip away!!”

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.”

Sugar Grills

“Classic sugar grill.  Story goes that I chewed on my bottle so much that it ruined my teeth. My neighbors used to chase me around the yard with pliers saying they were going to rip out my teeth and sell the silver.”

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.”
