I admit, I was one. It was the summer of my 24th year (early 90's) and I found myself in the local mall with some time to kill. And here it is, the masterpiece...in all it's faded denim glory...complete with 1,000 yard blank stare: Pure. Cringe. LOL!!! Anyone else care to share their "Glamour" Shot?

That is all kinds of awesome. I had never even heard of these kinds of photos or the term Glamour Shotz until I saw Napoleon Dynamite.

Wow, no amount of talent could have made me look like that.

Lol, yes. Unfortunately, DH loves my biker chick shot and keeps it on his desk at work. I can't get him to give it back to me for a merciful disposal...*cringe* is right!

I did one at the request of my then-fiancé (now ex husband). I HATE having my picture taken, and this was way out of my comfort zone, but I did it for "love" I was so made up that I didn't recognize myself. He loved it, which always made me wonder if he liked the real me, or that person in the picture. Guessing now it was the person in the picture

Oh yes......and just when I thought those days were long gone, I woke up one morning and pulled up Facebook to find at the top of my newsfeed. that my mother (!!!!) had posted one of them as her ThrowBack Thursday picture!!! And it was too late for damage control because she had numerous comments on it already. Oh Lordy.
My sister thought it was all kinds of funny until the next week, when Mom posted a picture of her all dressed up for our local Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival dance. But Mom didn't want to type out all that information in her caption, so she just posted how Sister was all ready for some MLF action........(we did have to tell her later what a MILF is).

Oh God, I was! I did it with my oldest DD. She looked much nicer in hers than I did in mine but then I'm 20 years older than she is. I really liked mine for a few years but when I think of them now I cringe. Ewww!

I never had this type of photo shoot but sure was envious when friends did. I hope more people will share photos. It takes me back!

MizIndependent ok if I can find it! I think my hair might be bigger than yours! and bright red! :0 Early 90's I think might have been my junior or Senior year I can't remember why we did it. It was with my sisters. Must have been a gift for my mom or something I'll have to see if I can find the cd.

Don't cringe too hard, instead, think of it this way - you were part of a very specific time period in the history of the US when malls were at their height of popularity and denim + gold lame' were the fabrics of choice.

Guilty. No idea where the photos are. As I recall, I had one with a denim jacket, and one with a feather boa and elbow-length gloves. Oh, I was fancy!

Oh yes! Someone gave me a Glamour Shot photo session for my 18th birthday back in 1988. The photographer was going for "sultry". He completely missed the mark, I just look like I want to kick somebody's ass. Yes it's cringeworthy as hell, but I still love it because it looks so very stereotypically 1980's overdone glamour.

lolol I always wanted one, for a joke, but I didn't want to spend the money or have anyone see me getting it done in the mall. I sort of wish I had done it anyway!

I did. It was also early-nineties atrocious. I had a roommate who was in cosmetology school and worked for Glamour Shots as a stylist, so I received a free sitting. But after it all I could only afford like one sheet of prints. I think my husband has the one and only copy that survived. He's probably keeping it for blackmail purposes .
