    It’s two options. Either you have the parent photo like this, or the family photo that looks like Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayham.

    No, no they don’t. Not by a long shot.

    However, my mom did have a small number of framed Glamor Shots (or whatever that business was called) photos of herself back in the day. I don’t recall the details at the moment, but she was gifted a free photo session and I guess a certain number of prints.

    For those of you who never got to see a stegosaurus in person, let alone ride one to school, Glamor Shots was a popular business in that era. If memory serves correct, they provided all kinds of costume jewelry and wardrobe, a drag queen level cosmetics make over, and a photo session. Then you could buy blurry photos of yourself airbrushed to the edge of sanity and back that would literally make an 80 year old woman as well as a 14 year old girl look like a 22 year old through the eyes of someone with severe cataracts. It was glorious. It was glamorous. It was worth a shot. Glamor Shots.

        FWIW I was considering 12-14 to still be “children” in this context. I’m in the very last wave of millenials, my parents were teen parents lmao. I always had the youngest parents in my friend circle, in one case my mom is 21 years younger than the mom of someone I’m older than.
