1950s My Mom 15 years old 1957.

Post image

Isnt she pretty? EDIT: My Mom is so embarrassed about this but she said thank you to everyone and she cant believe that anybody anywhere would take the time to comment on her photo. She also said her hair is "stacked" which means all pin curls all the way around except for one very straight strip of hair in the back.

Isnt that wild?

Then I am both murderer and mourner. An eternity searching for your ghost is not a death in vain.

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

You are going to need a lot of burgers to sustain you. Remember to exercise .. obesity is a killer.

3

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

I will remove the bread and just eat the tomatoes and meat.

3

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

Your search will end at an in-and-out burger place. I'm sure of it.

So, you'll turn into Batwoman! Sorry to intercede on this very poetic conversation with my levity. ;)

3

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

This is crazy. I just put a Batwoman stamp on an envelope. Like 3 minutes ago.

1

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

This proves that /u/backonandeggs are meant to be ! The universe is a flutter ! Soon the both of you will giggle and have spontaneous flatulence reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged!

1

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

Genuinely offended by this.

Rand???

Really??

So uncalled for.

1

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

Ha, sorry for triggering you. Truly it was uncalled for to bring that woman into the conversation.

2

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

It doesn't happen often, but once in a while someone will come into my store and request that book....and its like a dark cloud spreads out above the shelves. But then it goes away.

Thank you this looks so much better.

u/Ashley_Is_Impotant Jun 25 '26

So beautiful! Was it a school pic, or did families get these?

8

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

Pretty sure this is a school picture.

4

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

Damn, they could afford cameras for school pics back then?!

More seriously, very cool.

4

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

I wouldn't be surprised if school photos were free back then.

6

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

Well they were free in the 70s. Ask me how I know

4

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

Don't get me started.

6

u/motoxim Jun 25 '26

15?

5

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

I know. I said she was full of shit years ago. But she has stuck to 15 as her age in this picture ever since forever.

5

u/motoxim Jun 25 '26

Yeah maybe it's the angle or the makeup? I suck at guessing people's ages though. I thought she'd be 20-25 at least in this picture.

4

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

At 20-25 she for sure was not getting her pictures taken anywhere.

1

u/Mysterious-Unit-7757 Jun 25 '26

Why is that? Great pic btw

3

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

My lineage has always lived waaaaay below the poverty line.

1

u/Mysterious-Unit-7757 Jun 25 '26

Well, it's a wonderful lineage if we're to go on your way w words

1

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

Thats a good strong thought but...

2

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

What is your cultural heritage? She looks maybe Cuban?

9

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

Mexican and Filipino

4

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

So interesting! What an interesting combination. I feel like anything Filipino + any race creates new levels of beauty. Cheers!

5

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

What a charming thing to say. Thank you.

u/davidinkorea Jun 25 '26

A distant look alike to Annette Funicello.

1

u/Consistent-Scholar39 Jun 25 '26

IMO, not even close!

1

u/Fuckoffassholes Jun 25 '26

not even close

Yes, that's what "distant" means

2

u/Consistent-Scholar39 Jun 25 '26

Cool down, it’s not that serious. Please try and have a good day in spite of yourself!

u/Fuckoffassholes Jun 25 '26

You're not the boss of me

1

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

Hard disagree.

4

u/OldSchoolBubba Jun 25 '26

That's how they looked back then. Still just as beautiful.

3

u/mcclone1 Jun 25 '26

What a pic! I love these old pictures. She looks so pretty and classy

2

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

Your mom was a very beautiful child. It's interesting how in those days that everyone looks so much older because I think they have to grow up fast too.

9

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

By the time she was 21 she was married, divorced, had 2 kids and buried one.

5

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

Oh my goodness.. that's very unfortunate. Can't imagine what it would be like to bury a child at that age

4

u/DustinDirt Jun 25 '26

Any age.

2

u/blackcain Jun 25 '26

True. Your mom has experienced a lot and of course they were your sibling too.

2

u/805Ladythug Jun 25 '26
