On the drive out to lake last weekend, I had a long conversation with my teenagers.
Why yes, it can be done, give or take a little snark here and there.
Anyway, we were talking about some pictures I’ve been seeing all over social media of high school senior portraits. I swear they all look like a work of art. Of course, they have a million change of outfits, their makeup is professionally done and they use the most creative props! When my son was a senior last year, he didn’t want any part of it. I had to beg him to let me take of picture of him for his graduation announcements. I snuck a football in the bag for a prop. I think we were done in 13 minutes total! That includes walking to and from the car! That boy is low maintenance.
I sure hope things are little different with my twin girls. There’s got to be a balance between the high end glamour shot experience and the 13 minute mom behind the camera debacle! I know they are only going into the 8th grade, but I’m starting to drop some major hints.
Speaking of glamour shots…..do y’all remember these?
Why, of course you do! I guess my generation were the original purveyors of having your pictures made with your choice of costume; I mean outfit! And all in the comfort of the shopping mall!
I can’t even with these pictures.
How did I get my hair so high?
Yee Haw! I thought I had already blogged about all my embarrassing pictures a long time ago! (Click here for laughs)
I have a few years yet before I know what kind of pictures my girls will want to take. I think I’ll keep the AquaNet on the store shelf.
Can you even believe they still sell that stuff? I just saw it the other day at Target for $1.99, When you google it, the description says:
“ALL WEATHER, ALL DAY, ALL OVER HOLD, AQUA NET HAS BEEN THE PROFESSIONAL’S CHOICE OF HAIRSPRAY FOR OVER 50 years.”
GIVES YOUR HAIR BODY AND VOLUME WITHOUT BEING TOO STIFF OR STICKY. NO FLAKING OR BUILD UP.
Ok then. I have to disagree. That $%^#@ is STIFF as *!@.
I think I lost my kids at this point in the drive out to the lake. They already think I talk about how we used to do it the “old days’ too much!
So I changed the subject to who was going to ride the jet skis. And this was met with, “Mom, what are jet skis?” I was flabbergasted.
Has the world change this much? Seriously. And then the boy chimed in, “you mean a Sea Doo?”
Oh dear Lord. I spent so many summers out at the lake with my friends on the JET SKI’s!
Is this not a thing anymore too!
Lucky, when the time came to rent the water crafts, I made sure mine was the authentic, genuine JET SKI!
I felt like a little girl again.
It was so fun!
Although this time I was a little too worried about slipping off the wet and wobbly pier. I mean, who wants to pay a big copay at the emergency room in the middle of nowhere!
Geez. I did get old.
I’m like a couple of decades from pinching cheeks and calling people “whipper snappers!”
Oh well.
Here’s to better hair and good insurance!
Stay Sassy Y’all.
