There, Now Doesn't it Look Better With Lard In It?


All I want to see- ALL I want to see in this life is a picture of this child's hair in all of its natural Yahoo Serious glory.

Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board

I did NOT KNOW they had hairdryers back in the twenties!  I'm guessing this baby's mom is covertly stowed beneath that blanket- holding this fella awkwardly aloft, capturing on film for the first time the "Holy Sh*t!  Do not drop me please do not drop me lady!"  Infant Startle Reflex.

Ye Olde Weird Baby is Born

This blog is dedicated to the totally weird babies of yore.  Samplings from my collection of baby photography from Victorian times up to the 1950s.  Broad, I know.  But people did super weird things with their babies ALL THAT TIME.  It's up to me to save these babies.  Protect their dignity.  Give them a place in history.

For example, look at this little freak:



Clearly angry at being tossed out of the Lollipop Guild, he laid down on tin for all time his displeasure at this slight.  Never will he forget.  Do you hear me?  Never.  (His mother made him put on this rouge, but I think you can still see that he is at a boiling point.)
