Blackmail Bliss

Some people look worse as they grow older.



I would like to think I have improved with age.

**Photo courtesy of my father who obviously thinks the 80s were funny. As you can see, there is nothing humorous about them.

Rebecca Hardyman said...

Holy Cow! That's an amazing time capsule!

David H said...

It looks like you can all blackmail each other with equal ammunition. I'm gonna hide all my old pics.

Cheryl Knutti said...

I'm pretty sure I had the same dress, only with short sleeves. LOVE this picture!

Allie Whittingham said...

Oh My Gosh ... that is so ... erm ... well ... classic. I really can't stop laughing Amber! Gotta love Dad for fighting dirty and digging deep for amo - what did you do to deserve this? Or, were they just happy that you are now back home in winter wonderland? :)

Steve E said...

Stan is the man!

Becky Driscoll said...

What an adorable photo...like the wing tip collar on Pat!! too funny.

Wendy Phillips said...

You should send this into the ELLEN show and get on her Bad Paid For Photos segment!

Chris Bird said...

I'm speechless!

Terresa Hamblin said...

This is one reason,I'm so very thankful that my parents are technologically NOT savvy.

Chrissy Martin said...

awwwwwkward stage?

Charlene Johnson said...

Your picture reminds me....I'm afraid I'm going to get questioned when I show my passport photo from 9 years back. I think I look better with age too! (Though I must say, I think you're even better with age than I am!) Love it!

Rhonda Rankin said...

WHAT did you do to your Dad while you were in Canada?!?!?!

Tina Keating said...

Gotta love the 70s!

Amber said...

Hadley's response when she saw this: "Why are you all dressed up in costumes?"

The Casual Perfectionist said...

My first thought was, "Wow, there's a lot of curly hair in that picture." It's awesome! And, the first step in fighting blackmail is to reveal the said item yourself. ;)

I'm diggin' the white clogs. For real. Those are pretty cool. :)

Trainer Momma said...

That is stinkin' funny! I'm digging your brother's suit. STAYIN' ALIVE!

Head Nurse or Patient- you be the judge said...

HA! I have a few of those gems in my attic too- You are either brave or insane to let them out of hiding. Gunne Sax dresses- oh the memories.

Noelle said...

LMAO! I lovey our older brother's suit! My hair was never that cool in the '80s,

Lavender Luz said...

I am SO glad you didn't enter the Dork Olympic contest I was in last year. You'd have blown me away!

I literally snorted out my nose on this one.

Awesome Mom said...

Wow, just wow! And I thought some of my old family photos were bad.

Jess said...

roflmbo.... priceless!!!

You are so brave to share that!!! TOtally blows the blackmail possibility out of the water!!

Freckle Face Girl said...

Oh, I have a few of those photos myself. :)

Lauren in GA said...

What are you talking about? You look super hotttt.

The white clogs are a nice touch ;0

Rosey Pollen said...

I think it is better to post these yourself than have them pop up on Facebook. My sister did that to me. Payback time!

Lisa said...

Agreed! Much improved!

sef 'rett said...

Ouch!
Broke out in sweat just knowing that somewhere out there are the lurking photos of the serf from late 60s and early 70s; photos which would not only curl hair, but toenails.

Lizzie said...

Great pictures!!

EatPlayLove said...

A true gem. I just bought a scanner/printer this week, some classics may be rolling out over at my place as well.

calibosmom said...

I am in SOME AWE! I love those family pics!

Liz@thisfullhouse said...

[snort]

Sorry (seeing as I was a late teen of the 80's) I couldn't resist!
