My sister and I took pictures at Olan Mills for my mom and dad's Christmas present one year. It must have been the year I graduated so probably around 1975. We had a lovely garden background. I was just looking at the pics my mom still has up in her bedroom.

I looked for some and the ones I found are all yellow or I am too far back in pic for a good scan. I will do a few next wkend anyway just to see how they scan, I have to wait for DH to help me.

HP & Shar, luv your pix, thx for posting! :-)

Oh my what a fun thread! Luved the Hirshima pic, and the Senior Loco. I think the commentary is what makes them even better. Some pix looked fine to me, then I'd read the commentary and bust a gut.

I collected a bunch of pix of my crazy hairdos over the years and glued them in one place... lemme see if it scans well...

Feel free to run screaming from the room in hysterics... Ladies and Gentlemen of the Clubhouse... I now present to you... my hair disasters from the 70's to the early 90's. Exhibit A-Z: Why I will never have another perm unless at gunpoint, why I hate bangs on me, and why I miss my thick hair, and original colour. Check out the big glasses and bigger hair. The 2nd to last one on the bottom right I'm in a patterned green granny gown. Last one bottom right - I covered the Daytime Emmy Awards one year in that getup.

Mame...that's great fun. You can look at them and tell what time frame they're from. My favorite is the curly side dooly dops inb the one with the green granny gown. Ah, yes...I remember that well.

Thanks for sharing, everyone. What a blast.

For anyone who can't figure out what is so hysterical about this pic, let me explain. This was 1974. Until I was about 3 years old, I had the brightest orange, yes orange, not red hair ever.

That little ugly dress I'm wearing matched the orange color of my hair exactly and had a yellow and green pattern on it. The rug was only a shade or two lighter than my hair and dress. My aunt has that pic in color hanging on the living room wall and everytime I see it I think it looks like I'm on fire!

These little outfits (I can't figure out what happened to my matching shirt, I know I had one cuz there are other pics of it somewhere!) were bright, very short, blue, silk shorts with the matching light blue shirts with the dark blue trim. I think I'm about 5-6 there.

I will give some props to mom, this outfit wasn't too bad for me but most the time she kept me dressed in the worst orange, yellow, and green colors imaginable. Luckily I can't find none of those pictures here!

War, LOL if you look on fire and you are crying in the pic too funny! You look like Dakota in the 2nd pic!!!

All these are just so much fun to see!

MB, love the montage, and hey, I actually like ALL the styles! You are living proof that all gals love fooling with their hair!

Yank, your hair is bigger than you in that pic!! Hahahahha! Very cute--but that's no surprise to me. You are still darling.

War, thanks for describing the first one so well. I'd love to see it in color! Very cute. And wow, you did (do?) have great red hair! Am I spotting freckles there?

Another Olan Mills photo--just my immediate family. Must have been taken that same day, as we are all wearing the same thing. (I don't remember sitting for this pose!) Mamie, is this the 'garden background' you meant?

my family

I love these pictures! I used to sport a few of those hairstyles myself, MameB. Your perm looked much better than mine, because my hair was much thinner than yours. I also had the BIG glasses shown in a few pictures. They covered half my face! Middle dd had the Dorothy Hamill haircut for at least a couple years. It was adorable on her, and she loved it. Oldest dd had her hair styled like Yankee's during her high school years. HP, the family photos are so typical of that time period and are all precious. LOL at the expressions in that last pic, Sunshyne!

1969 ... my sister and I were 10 months apart but my parents dressed up alike. I was usually in red and my sister in blue. My mother was a homemaker and usually made all our clothes.

I love this picture!

Now those last two photos are perfect at capturing the feel of the times! And wow, both moms are so trim!

Sunshyne, were you the smiler or the 'grimacer'? Very cute photo! Betting you are the light-haired little beauty making the funny face. Your parents look like the type that never raised their voices. Am I right?

Nic, which of those two cuties are you? The era is so clear in the style of the furniture, the drapes . . . and your mom's shoes! I had a sweater dress (like the one your mom is wearing) back then, too! Looks like you are all strawberry blondes. Betting you are the littler one--because her hair is darker, as I think I recall yours is now.

Sun, I love that pic!! We had one of those landscape paintings in our living room also! Was that another 70s requirement? All houses were decorated in avacado or burnt orange and had a painting like that!

Vaca, I love your mom's shoes!

one thing that struck me funny when I was looking at my old pics was all the ppl smoking around kids in the pics. I was watching Apollo 13 and saw one of the guys smoking in the NASA lab! LOL it is crzy the places we smoked in the 70s
