Big Red
“My mom sewed clothes for the family when I was growing up. Since our family sang together in churches in Indiana and Michigan in the 70’s, she had the grand idea of making red polyester suits with a hint of orange Polka dots (along with the awesomely huge bow ties). Gotta love ya, Mom! And BTW, I’m the little boy next to dad. Today, my family of 7 children all play in our own family music group, but without the polyester.”

Ghosting
“I’m the boy in the picture with my family. Apparently, the ghostbusters craze got the best of my mom and she made us walk through the mall in those stupid shirts to get our picture taken. From the look on my sister’s face, I don’t think she was too thrilled with the whole idea either.”

Turqlenecks
“It was the 80s. My dad thought it was a good idea to take a picture in the woods with snow. The look on his face doesn’t validate the brilliance of the idea. Mom chose the color of our shirts. Apparently she expected more of a tropical setting.”

Red Stripe
“This is my family circa 1994. We heard ‘Where’s Waldo?’ so many times. All us kids were so embarrassed to wear these, but my dad made us wear them whenever we were in public!”

In Bloom
“A picture of my family and I (I’m the little girl with brown hair). My mom thought it would be a good idea to take the family to get professional photos. We were rocking the mullets, huge glasses, and floral prints.”
