Oh yuk yuk yuk!!! I do have a stack full of these!!! And you just gotta buy them 'cuz they are your kids!!!

Oh man, Olan Mills phone sales was my first job. It was horrible. I must have had Lawrence Welk Village or something because I would get these old people 'Oh, honey, I'm so old....no one wants a picture of me'....I had to quit. It broke my heart. I mean, how do you argue with that without becoming their psychiatrist? Or stopping by on Sundays with some cookies and tea? I mean, tooo sad.

Thanks, I had a nice belly laugh outta those. :snap:

Yet another example of the hideousness that was The Seventies. I had to laugh at the 'yellow' photo- it's true!


(Tori has been getting into Queen videos on YOuTube- she loves their music, but the outfits she finds very disturbing. She said to me "Let me guess- the Seventies, right?)

Wow, yes! It's amazing how different she looks withought the Glasses!;)

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Wha? Oh. Sorry I was looking at her boobies...

[Alex]

Who is she?

[MouseWife]

Sorry Kevy, I wasn't looking at her boobies but I was looking at the guys in the photo....

Alex, she is one of the Desperate Housewives, I believe her name is Marcia Cross.

Yes, quite similar! Some slight differences but I think mostly because MC is trying to look a bit vampy {smuggish?} while the woman in your pic just looks happy as can be!!! :D

Gah. I remember the 70s. I had those hairstyles. And the clothes, I'm sure. I know I had a pair of bellbottoms. I'll have to post the family pics my mom sent me; they're not the worst pictures ever taken of me but it's bad enough. :)

[JWBear]

I'm sure as hell not post any pictures of me from the 70's! :eek:

[Kevy Baby]

We had that leisure suit for our Swing Choir outfits! 100% polyester - in slate grey.

We sooked like a gang of teenaged bus drivers.

I have one picture of me from 1990. That's the only picture of me I own.

It isn't horrible, just a dweeby 1990 15-year-old.

I have lots of charming photos of me and my brother in outfits my mother made - where his shirt matches my dress.
