Those glasses came free with a purchase of Brut cologne

His senior year, Drake won 'bitchinest mullet' by a landslide

Thoughtful Lance. Mirthful Lance. Two sides of a delightful young lad.

That dude wore a tie for nothin'

The Purvis family made several stops along the Oregon Trail to document their six-month journey. This photo was taken just two weeks before the dysentery took Momma to Jesus

Olan Mills backdrop #4: Bucolic Meadow with Split Rail Fence.
Is that a dead animal carcass behind her?

It's a vuhjayjay lady...not a frickin' clown car.

No comment...

Poses like this will get you kicked right out of the convention quick.

Bobbi wasn't the first waitress to fall for her manager, but it got her and Dale both fired from Walmart

Dawn and her recently exhumed sister, Gothica, posed with Scraps

Olan Mills Backdrop #11: The Library, one of their most popular themes, as seen in this photo of the young Unabomber and his wife

Two more guys from that same Southern Baptist Convention?

The library might be more believable here if the shelves weren't sloping downhill

You'd think Pearle Vision would throw in another couple pairs for free

I got a 20 bucks that says he drives a Camaro

Melon smuggling isn't a crime, but posing it in profile should be

Nothing quite says 1973 like denim and helmet hair

Someone actually paid a studio money for this?

The B-52's - the early years

...talk about a third wheel.

Hiroshima, 1945. Last known photo of Bertha and Senor Loco

I'd hide my face too

Lawrence and his prom date

Patrick broke ranks and chose posing in drag over wearing a bow tie

Picture day at the asylum

Butt-cut, wings and earmuffs. Classic 70s hair. And that shirt reeks of Chess King.

Oh frickin' great. What better way to capture the charm and innocence of a child than to plunk him down amid the coarse trappings of a life lived solely in pursuit of money? They had to have oversized bills, an adding machine and the Wall Street Journal - and make him sit inside a briefcase? (They probably just fold it up with the little demon right in there to carry him home.) The finishing touch is the globe, which completes the portrait of the young Antichrist in Club Room vest and Red Goose loafers, plotting his takeover of the world (insert maniacal laugh here...lol). That is - as soon as someone changes his poopy diaper.

This photo isn't discolored. The 70s really were that yellow. Or maybe it's just the landing lights from the jumbo jet about to land on her forehead.

It's so cute when couples have matching hairdos

The Brown family. From Beige-ing.

Yet another rejected Toby Keith album cover.

It's called a leisure suit folks, and if you didn't have one in the early 70s, you were a big fat loser. Mine was teal. I wore it with a silk floral shirt and a long necklace with a varsity wrestler's pendant that we all got at that year's team banquet. I was THE MAN.

And don't miss the First Presbyterian Players as they perform "Godspell" next Wednesday night in the Fellowship Hall. Childcare will be provided. Please bring a covered dish.

Just a typical afternoon down on the plantation in a business suit y'all.

Olan Mills is all about versatility. The simple addition of a column turns this generic plantation into Tara, where, apparently, someone opened a Hair Master's. (This Dorothy Hamill cut was very popular in 70's after Dorothy won Olympic gold. My sister and my female cousins all had that cut at different times. I did not ...lol - although I did have a huge crush on Dorothy).

Mary Kay's saleswoman of the year and her add-a-beads... distracted by the Blue Light Special announcement coming in over the K-Mart loudspeaker.
