portrait of a lady

so thats my mom blog. i hope you enjoyed how pretty and awesome and pretty awesome she is. i love her and during this very small project i scrutinized her fashions to come to the conclusion that her easy breezy style has truly shaped who i am. word.

best outfit ever

she is the best in this, no one rocks high waisted like this.

skiing

ripped up!

shaggs

purps

swim suit ballet

babes

strawberry

hippy music

girls state

mom starting the first feminist club at sonora high school. look at those milk maids braids.

onesies

big fan.

mk and a

patty and mom got matching onesies so they could trick people into thinking they were twins. it didn't work tho.

monochromo

they looked so good together

she is reading a porno

play girl. its a play girl.

crulity free mink

no not really, actually they clubbed baby minks over the head so my mom could look like a pimp.

willow the pig

we had a pig for about a week. we fed it on the floor but then mom thought the cats were plotting an assassination so we gave him to a very nice farm, tear.

picnic

they have been picnicking at the spot in sonora for about 35 years.

preggers cravings

pickles and ice cream, martinis that she didn't drink and her old body back.

phone time

old fashioned love song

we all do these pictures at this ghost town close by, eat candy, drink sarsaparilla

WHOA, afro!

jerry curl? afro? and that guy...

um, fashion mullet?

yeah she rocked it pretty hard.

like mother, like daughter

shorter the better

two maids a milking

everyone looks so good in this photo. i love the dude, wow.

hand made by MOI

she made this herself!

we're gonna go back in time..

i used to seriously associate this jacket with back to the future

rogers at bear river

sweet 16!

starts

annie hall/annie lennox

this is the gayest mom ever got but i really do think it bolstered her career as an artist. androgyny was totally in that year.

animal print onesie

yes.

aunt allison's engagement

it was a party that everyone remembers as the best ho-down square dance prairie gathering in all of 1849.

when life gives you lemons...

when you turn 50... have a 50's party!

baby cakes

glowing

she was preggers with me in this pic and you can see the glow even tho she is giving who ever was taking the picture some serious badditude.

lace phase

she did that a lot, i'm starting to really appreciate what lace does for a lady's figure....

pssssht

"yeah i made that cake, and i made the one last year too. duh"

art show

this picture says it all

fancy party from the front

these two always had a flair for the dramatics

christmas of 91 or 92 or whatever..

the back of these pics are almost as good as the front sometimes. you can tell when mom had developed some pics or an event that she was totally not WOW-ed by.

that purple sweater was cashmire by the by, with crazy polka dots of different colors. um! wow!

dude, nepal.

my dad took my mom to nepal. she crossed a crazy bridge that looked like it was going to break. she wore v. cool hiking attire.

eat your heart out diane von furstonwhatever

mom had LOUD prints down. that trip looks like something out of joe vs. the volcano (one of mom's top 5 if she ever put together a list)

slopes

i honestly believe mom never liked skiing but loved the weird jumper suits she got to sport. full length lined in hot pink. duh.

trench

i love mom showing up to my hippy school functions dressed for the set of law and order

dinner party

she is wearing a blouse and dress hand made by my great great grandmother.
whoa lace.

pigs and chickens

on the back of this picture it says:

"Oh My Gaud!
Chicken and pigs?
Liv looks on knowing
Mom will be returning
this sweater tomorrow
morning!"

down the isle

pretty as a peach.

stunned

she looks like she wasn't expecting whatever she just opened

the whole clan

this is all the sisters and bothers.

mom is magic

this is my mom. she is magic. i'm pretty sure if eveyone knew her like i did they would be fascinated by her. her history, her life and most of all her fashion choices over the last 5 decades. i basically just wanted to share with you what shaped my set of aesthetics, this beautiful lady. i know it seems cheezy and it essentially is but check out my mom!
