There's one of me in a little cowgirl outfit riding a stuffed rocking horse in front of the TV waving pistols. Dated about 1952.
Oddly enough I can't stand Westerns now.

That sounds adorable. Not embarrassing at all.

I'd tell you to go to Hell, but I work there and don't want to see you every day.

My mum was huge on stuffing me into cordrouy flares and hideously coloured skivvies. That or big fluffy dresses covered with lace and terrible colours like pea green. Never dressed me up in a costume though. My sister did, but she did ballet.

My mum adores Westerns, and has seen pretty much all of them as she grew up on them as a child. She scares me with her childish glee when one comes on! The only embarrasing picture of me is when I was only a year old; we were on holiday in Jersey and I was swanning along on all fours around the edge of the hotel pool butt naked. My dad took a photo of my mum in the pool laughing her head off, and just the back view of me and several grannies in smiling at me. Good god it hurts to see it now  |

Well, you could have told the guys that you could always rope them in and put a brand on them if they fucked you over... Just an idea.

My mom made us shorts and halter tops - comfy, practical clothing. I don't think we -ever- did ruffled pants, even when we were really little.

My mom made our own clothes and cut our hair, so most pictures of that era show a very disgruntled little troll dressed in old curtains with a bush on her head. Thankfully my dad's company took off and they started actually buying me clothes by the time I reached puberty |

Except pants. I hate to say it, but nearly all the pants she made for me were awful. |

My mother would buy a bolt or two of fabric and patterns in four different sizes and go to town on her Singer sewing machine. We all wore the same style dresses out of the same fabrics, you name it. I didn't have jeans until she started her own business and it took off. I felt so GOOD wearing my purple bell-bottoms and tie-dye shirt...

My mom took pictures of me at age 0 in the nude, in a playboy bunny centerfold pose, complete with huge glasses, and sent them to my dad in 'Nam.
I didn't bring guys home until college. Any embarassing baby photos of me that might exist are suddenly seeming less and less embarassing... Except for this one that was one taken when I was about four, sitting on the toilet with a big grin on my face. Why my mother thought it was a good idea to come up on me in the bathroom and take it, I will never know.  |

My mom's a great seamstress. I had mostly store bought clothes because she rarely had time to make us clothes and write/take care of my mentally handicapped brother/ make sure my sister and I weren't getting into too much trouble, but I absolutely adored this dress she made me when I was about 3. It was a sailor style dress, sleeveless, made in white fabric with blue flowers. I cried so hard when I outgrew it. You would have thought my dog died or something. I wouldn't let her give it away to the battered women and children's center she volunteered at with the rest of the clothes I outgrew, like she usually did. I'm pretty sure it's in some box in my grandmother's storage unit, well preserved. My mom also gave me horrible haircuts. She offered to cut my hair about a year ago and I backed away with fear in my eyes going "Oh God no, no, no..." Lucky for me, she has a good sense of humor. Then again, if my dad had his way, all his kids would have had buzz cuts for the first ten years of their life. My mom allowed it for my brother, but objected to them for my sister and I. |

I guess it's good that I've never had kids. |
