Just admit it...

Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga-Glamour shots!

Oh, just admit it. 

You had Glamour Shots done too. 

Remember?

They had the little store set up in the mall where you would go and 'get glamoured up.'

I believe it was immortalized in the movie "Napoleon Dynamite."

Whitch, by the way, was not a funny movie.

Even though yes, Tina Majorino is awesome.

So...glamour shots!


Jean jacket wearers of the world unite!

Seriously, what are my hands doing in this picture?

What, if I don't hold them there the jacket floats away due to its sheer awesomeness?


Caution: Due to high volume of hair spray hair will explode into flames if exposed to high temperatures.


"Hi. I enjoy dressing like a banana."

Wow!

Those earrings they put on me were 'bedazzlerific!'

And that shirt was very yellow. 


And maybe by 1991 I deserved a glamour shot.

Yes, me and eighties fashions...

We didn't always mix well.

For example:


I think I had been watching way too much Cosby show here because that's a lot of sweater. 

And a lot of jean skirt.

And a lot of crimped hair.

And those sunglasses?

They said "Coca-Cola" on them.

I wore them out that summer!

Until they ultimately took a sad trip to a watery grave in the lake. 

My parents had bought them in Tokyo.

Apparently, Tokyo was going through a Coke phase.

Next:


I don't know.

I really don't.

I mean, yes, I'm wearing my cousin Mary Etta's add a bead necklace she let me borrow for the picture.

And I'm wearing a tie.

A tie!

Next:


Heck, yeah I went to Panama City and got an airbrushed tee!

And Robbie was wearing Jams.

I mean...

So really, considering the alternatives....

There was nothing wrong with the Glamour Shots.

  1. I definitely laughed out loud with you. Yes, I admit I have glamour shots and other equally ridiculous pictures in my scrapbooks. Glad you shared yours. That laugh was good for my soul.

  4. The only thing I legitimately liked from the 80's were leg warmers and plastic charm bracelets. And even they were sketchy.

  5. AGH! This made me remember something that I had totally blocked out - I DID GLAMOUR SHOTS TOO! I did the same poses as you but they had me in a SHIMMERY GREEN jacket with a popped up collar and, gulp, a Navy hat i.e. the branch of the military not the color! Oh, the shame of it all. I think they are hidden in the bottom of some picture box at my parents house. Maybe I could be brave like you and post them but I doubt it.
