Truth is, they will actually be on the receiving end instead. Scroll down, enjoy, and upvote your faves!

My daughter was 11 when she started experimenting with makeup. So for her 12th birthday I organized a makeup party with a beautician. Great fun. Of course we made pictures. When she saw them, she was shocked to see herself as a 25 year old. After that she hasn't touched makeup till she was finished in collage, and only sparsely.

Conclusion: The 80's and early 90's didn't do anybody any fashion favours. Can we just pretend those two decades never happened? They were cruel.
Every decade has its stupid fashion trends. I cringe every time I pick up my kid from high school and see boys sporting skinny jeans with their butts hanging out.
Load More Replies...Why were kid glamour photos a thing? It’s such a weird concept to begin with.
