I really like today's photos, featuring some girls that you will see a few more times in future posts.
In this first one, two sisters spin and spin on the legendary Mad Tea Party attraction - little sis is doing all the work, but she seems to be having a lot of fun, so it's OK. I love the color and implied movement, this one's almost SOUVENIR GUIDEBOOK WORTHY.
Mom finally let this girl get her ears pierced, and I'll bet she was darn happy about it. She's munching on popcorn, holding one of those classic striped boxes that were recreated many years later. Popcorn and braces don't mix well, but sometimes you just have to say "What the heck"!
Major-
ReplyDeleteBraces and popcorn... the best-! A nice pair, today.
Thanks, Major.
I wonder if "Miss Braces- 1967" ate the popcorn before or after her spin in the Teacups? From a motion sickness point of view, I suppose it doesn't really matter; popcorn probably wouldn't cause any problems... Let's test it out!
ReplyDeleteThat is one goofy picture with the popcorn and braces. How does one get food out of those things anyway? You can't just remove them like a retainer.
Looking forward to seeing what else "Miss Braces- 1967" gets stuck in her teeth. Thanks, Major.
You are NOT supposed to eat popcorn when you have braces. In fact, orthodontists make you swear on a bible that you wont eat popcorn while undergoing orthodontia.

JB, there is an assortment of special little brushes for cleaning under and around braces. The problem is, getting a teenager or a child to understand the importance of keeping them clean, and getting them to use the special brushes faithfully.
Oh, by the way.....I do like these two pics, and I'm looking forward to seeing more from this lot! I just hope we don't see little sis chewing gum or eating caramels in a later post! Thanks, Major!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the odds?!? ....to have a close-up taken of you - at your most-awkward age, while doing something you shouldn't be doing (eating popcorn with braces), and then put on a world-renowned blog to be viewed and critiqued by millions. Every girl's nightmare. Though I bet she grew up to be an absolute doll, with a beautiful, perfect smile!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Major, for more fun pics.
P.S. In the first pic, Big Sis is looking a bit green. Not her lucky day for being photographed, either.
Those cat eye glasses are cool.
ReplyDeleteHi, EricM! I see that you commented yesterday, too. Welcome aboard!
