The One Thing I Can Never Forgive My Mother For


The ill-fated glamor portraits of 1994, meant as a Valentine's Day gift for my dad.


Creepy, is it not?


Poor me.


Poor, chubby, emotional, junior-high-ish, pimpled, cranky, moody me.


(From left to right:  My sister Meagan, Mother, and Me)


That is all.

  5. Yep, been there.

    I believe all of my Glamour Shots have been burned, shredded, and donated to the nearest garbage dump...for a really good reason.

  7. What did they wrap you in? Gift wrap? That is the BEST (as in the worst) Glamor Shots I've even seen. Love how the one in front (you?) is even blurry! LOLLL

  9. I have always felt that my life had hopelessly gone wrong because I never got to have any glamourshots done. Thank you for making me realize I now have to come up with another reason for my hopeless life.

  10. Seriously?! SO FUNNY! I hope your mom didn't pay money for that... your sister isn't even in focus!!!

  11. HA HA Ridiculous... looks like you are wearing capes from the hair salon. I love your mom for this... wish I had put my girls in one! We have one where we all look like The Judds with really big hair and I love it. They cringe that i hung it with lots of family pictures in the stairwell...I like it b/c I think I look thin.!!

  13. Oh my gosh - you guys are just full of blogging material, even from long ago!

    I posted my ill-fated Glamour Shots photo, as well as the accompanying True Story Tuesday legend (it has to do with EXPOSURE... put it that way *sigh*)

    Thanks for the laughs - and for the record, you guys are all cute!

  14. that is truly awkward. but you actually look super cute and not at all chubby. could they have not gotten your sisters face in focus a bit?

    maybe you should do a glamour shots gift for your hubby with you draped in only an elk skin as a valentine's present.

  15. You are breathtaking. Name that show. :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. LOL! :) What were you wearing? A sheet? A cape? A colorful garbage sack!

  17. blu ush! I can't believe you did this, but then I guess I do believe it. sigh

    ReplyDelete
  18. What are you wearing??

    ReplyDelete
  19. It's not that it's a bad picture of you...you look like you really don't want to be there. But, you know what? That is what we looked like back then. I say "we" although I'm a little older than you are. I did have the poofy bangs though. When you pulled one strand of hair in the bangs, the whole thing moved as one.

  20. It is real.
    Very.
    Real.

  21. If you're feeling nostalgic and want to do it again I hear you can still get those blue tarps at Wal-Mart. LOL. Moms are so mean!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yep, I've got pics like that too! They were all the rage for about 5 minutes. And for the record, I don't think you are chubby in this picture at all.

    ReplyDelete
  23. What are you wearing??!?!? Is that like a tarp?

    Otherwise its just lovely. :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh girl, we've all done it. My mom, sister and I have the same photos. Oy, I hope they are hidden far, far from view.
    You know what's sick? My husband would love me looking like that. It's like another woman. Big hair, different color hair, etc. You get the picture. He's a pig.

  25. Irregardless of the cheesieness, y'all could a been a model.

    ReplyDelete
  26. A ha ha ha! But I am not laughing AT you, because you were actually a cute girl. Instead I am laughing WITH you and all of us who survived the big hair glamour shots era.

    Not a good time in history, was it?

    ReplyDelete
  27. I don't think you look pimply or chubby. You do look like you're wearing the covering they give you in a hair salon to protect your clothes from chemicals.

    So, did your dad love this and hang it somewhere for all the world to see? Does it still hang somewhere for all the world to see?

  28. Oh my goodness... :) You all should have done a Charlie's Angels pose with your "finger guns" pointed to the sky :)

  30. O.M.G!! My mother and I did the exact same thing! Was Mary Kay running a special or something!? And what is up with those off-the-shoulder smockes? Seriously, the 90s were some bad years for fashion.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Psst. . . . Irregardless is not a word but regardless is.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Awe... I never went to have my Glamour Shots done - I feel so deprived. :>

    ReplyDelete
  33. Lovely. Very 90s. But don't feel bad. I did the Glamour Shots deal too. Haha... I don't think I kept a copy of mine though. Good for me!

    ReplyDelete
  34. My sister and I had our photo done together - not exactly a glamour photo, but it looked quite similar to yours. We were really into color analysis at that time so of course wore our 3-star colors for the photo op. Gotta love those days gone by........

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'm sorry. I don't like to laugh at pictures of other people... but I have to say... Bwahahaha! I love this!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Okay, that picture is terrible. I'm not gonna lie. First of all, why the heck did they situate you guys that way? Your sister is totally out of focus! Second, you guys look like you're wearing shiny hair cutting capes. I'm so sorry you had to go through such a thing.

    Did your dad like it?
