Faded Photographs

The next post is in the works, but I haven't been able to finish it because I've been so busy scanning old family photos this weekend. Until I get tomorrow's post in the bag, I'd like to share some hilarious and some horrifying finds.

This is the she-woman man-hater's club. Otherwise known as the American Business Women's Association. They basically raised money for girl's college scholarships and dress up parties such as this one. My grandmother is wearing the black pointy hat and tights. Why she's showing off her black panties is beyond me.




My dad's all like, "Gee golly mom, they've got air conditioning!"




This is my mom's hair and my dad's pants. Mr. and Mrs. Bell, this whole thing's just a tragedy.




My grandmother's friends. They appear to be my kind of people.




In this picture my mother is trying to kill someone with mind bullets...thats telekineses, Kyle. 
Seriously, now I understand why my pupils always look crazy in pictures. Thanks, mom.



Good lord, Dad. You looked like a 70s porn star. On a windy day his comb over would wave to people.



So all of my brothers and sisters are 17-20 years older than me. This is what my poor family was like before I  came along. I can't figure out whats worse... that the pepto bismol monster just gagged all over them, my dad's showing off of the furry creature in his shirt, or the mullets...oh god the mullets... Ima cry.



The South: Where big ass guns are totally appropriate at Christmas.



I'm just including this one because it was my favorite. David and Alice Bell.

  5. There is no photo in the history of photos that is more 70s than the one of your folks on the couch in Dec. of '76. Jesus, the 70's were so cool. Those pants. And shirt. And socks. Just so damn cool. Fire up the time machine. I want those pants.
