Happy Weekend!

I don't usually read many forwards that are emailed to me. But this one was sent to me by my BFF since 4th grade, Brittney, and I know if she sends me a forward that it must be good. Consider this a Happy Weekend post! Dan and I laughed so hard we had tears running down our faces last night. Caption is directly beneath each photo.

OLAN MILLS
Everyone had AT LEAST one of these in their living room while growing up:

Those glasses came free with a purchase of Brut cologne

Thoughtful Lance. Mirthful Lance. Two sides of a delightful coin.

Drake won Raddest Senior Mullet by a landslide.

That dude wore a tie for nothing.

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.

I wanted a shot like this for my wedding. The Mrs. said no.
It's called a leisure suit, ladies and gents, 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 football player pendant that we all got at that year's team banquet. I was THE MAN.

Once they had two or three, how did they ever find enough time alone to make more?

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

A pose like this will get you kicked right out of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Bobbi isn't the first waitress to fall for her manager, but she and Dale both got fired from Shoneys.

Just a typical afternoon down on the plantation. In a business suit.

Dawn and her recently exhumed sister, Gorgotha, pose with Scraps.

This photo isn't discolored. The 70s really were that Orange ...

Yes, they were kicked out too...

Again... No comment

Olan Mills Backdrop #11: The Library, one of their most popular themes, as seen in this photo of the young Unabomber and his wife.
The Library might be more believable if the shelves weren't sloping downhill. Is that a book on teen pregnancy?
Olan Mills is all about versatility. The simple addition of a column turns this generic plantation into Tara, where, apparently, someone opened a Hair Cuttery.

Patrick broke ranks and chose drag over the bow tie

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

Is this posing or bragging?

Kenneth and his prom date .

I got $20 that says he drives a Camaro.

This was Dad 's idea.

Yes. Someone spent money on this.

Nothing says 1973 quite like denim and helmet hair...don't these kids have parents with matching hair too? (I know you're gonna scroll up to look)

B-52s... The Early Years

Ever wonder what the heck they were all looking at?
