Today is the birthday of someone I love with a crazy love. Recently, he asked about a couple of photos, no doubt hoping I’d shredded all copies and the negatives. Um, I rarely get rid of anything sentimental–ask Tom, who’s moved it all several times, and Tim, the Great Purger.
These photos are really for four kids who were given free access to their aunt’s closet and cosmetics, circa 1985. Happy birthday, Daniel.
Love the sneer!
It was his Billy Idol impression.
OH NO, you said Billy Idol. Prepare for Marika fondue.
They do look like they’re ready for some 80’s rock and roll!
Yeah, that sneer rules. : )
I was a teen at the time and had several of those outfits.
Happy Birthday Daniel
For some reason I get the feeling they were aided and abetted by their auntie. Great photos, Beck.
Thanks! We had a lot of fun that night.
Um, can we talk about the awesomeness of these photos? Do you remember what camera you used for these?
And uh, Happy Birthday to Daniel!
Thanks! My Canon AE-1, probably with no flash and 400 speed film.
Happy Birthday to my fence-climbing, brick-stealing partner in crime!!!

We were the most stylish bunch of kids you could ever meet!! I have to ask though, Were Sarah and I talked into this by Idol and Prince?? We look unhappy lol…..Gin
You were striking your model poses–those are your haute couture, “I’m so above it all, and I haven’t eaten anything but a Tic Tac in four days” expressions.
