Little Eddie is so cute.

Mom and Dad not so much.

I had a friend who took photos at Kmart back in the 70's.

Now she had some photos.

This picture is rather nice compared to what the pictures she had in her collection.

W.T.F is going on here?

Did the husband and wife get family photo night and S&M night mixed up, and decided heck while we're here might as well go with it? LOL.

There's just no words. Why colourize, why B&W. Why those poses. Why those shirts. My brain!

I suspect some of these may be fake, but still it's funny!
