Here are Some Funny and Painful Glamour Shots For You to Enjoy

Remember when people went to their local malls to get glamour shots?

Of course, you do!

You got all dolled up, put on some fancy duds, sprayed a ton of hair spray onto your head, and then smiled BIG for the camera.

And the results were usually…hilarious…

Let’s relive those days together with these wonderful glamour shots…try not to cringe too much.

A good chunk of these photos are from an Instagram account called Bad Glamour Bios. These folks find old glamour shots online and then give them very funny (fake) bios.

Let’s dig in!

1. Look at these two!

Watch out for Tracy and Stacy!

2. An interesting mother-daughter combo.

Are you guys going to a leather bar?

Follow these gals on Instagram: badglamourbios Mother-Stacy, 41 Daughter-Marissa 15, quiet the duo at the High School. Stacy has been known to use profanity towards other parents in the drop off line at the school, “Bitch, I will hit you if you try to cut in this line”…with a particular finger waving out the window. Friday night games can get heated when Marissa performs during half time shows at the foot ball games…Stacy’s in front of the girls doing the same performance, since she is the twirling coach, her favorite routine is to Cyndi Lauper, “Girls Just Want To Have Fun”…and since Marissa is head twirler, one drop of that baton, and Stacy is going to yell. Safe word is high-kick. #glam #glamour #glamorous #glamourshots #glamourgals #glamourphotography #90s #90sfashion #90shair #comedy #comedywoman #gay #gayboy #gaydaddy #instagay #twirling #twirler #batontwirling #safeword

3. The Queen of Hearts.

Need I say more?

Follow these gals on Instagram: badglamourbios Jenny, 25, has gambled her tuition for the local junior college away at Jerry’s Bar, and has done some questionable acts for repayment, for that gambling habit. Her parents had dreams of her becoming a nurse, but she’s just worried about winning that next big hand at Texas Hold ‘Em. After her shift at the pawn shop, she’s ready to get home and get those cards dealt. She gets all dolled up, gets into her Ford Taurus, and jams out to Pat Benatar “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”…that just gets her pumped for the nights game. Watch out boys, she’s got her Poker Face on and an Ace in the Hole! Safe word is flush. #glam #glamourphoto #glamourous #glamourshots #glamourphotography #glamourgals #glamourshot #glamourshoot #90sfashion #90s #90shair #poker #pokerface #comedy #gay #gayboy #instagay

How would you like a night on the town with this one?

5. Oh, my…

Viola has done it again!

View this post on Instagram

Follow these gals on Instagram: badglamourbios Viola, 78, spends her mornings at the YMCA doing water aerobics, and gossiping with the other ladies in town. Don’t get them started when Carl gets out of the water, they all blush. On Fridays, she goes down to Sue’s Beauty Shop to get the hair done, it’s a full day ordeal. Then she loads up the girls to go to The Catfish King for the Senior Special. Saturday evenings she is at Dukes Saloon, dancing with Carl to “I Fall To Pieces” by Patsy Cline. Sunday’s are spent in the choir section, she may doze off, just give her a nudge when it’s time to sing or pray. Safe word is Lycra. #glam #glamourphoto #glamourous #glamour #glamourgals #safeword #90sfashion #badglamourshots #90shair #90sphotoshoot #90sphotography #gay #gayboy #instagay

HATES Tax-Free weekend, “Cannot be combined with other coupons, ma’am.” On Friday nights, you will catch her driving down Main Street with the windows down of her ‘90 Pontiac Firebird jamming out to Bon Jovi “Living On a Prayer”. And don’t catch her at the four-way stop, you will get a show of some air guitar and head banging, don’t worry, that hair has enough White Rain to keep it up! When she makes it to the bar, she likes her LIT’s strong, just like she likes her men.

Family Uses Chalk Art to Go on Adventures Without Leaving Home

Everyone is looking for great, fun, creative, interactive ways to entertain their kids at home – and obviously, in the current season, that goes double (or maybe even triple).

People who have kids of a certain age always have sidewalk chalk in their arsenal. That said, you probably haven’t thought to use it the way this Atlanta family is employing theirs.

Abbey Burns Tucker and her four daughters have not only been drawing amazing, colorful pictures, but interacting with them for the absolutely cutest pictures.

She told Bored Panda that the idea arrived when her oldest drew a bunch of balloons, and she took a picture of her youngest “holding” them.

The rest, as they say, is history.

12. That looks like so much fun.

And wayyyyy safer than a regular trampoline.

11. These are so whimsical.

They remind me of Mary Poppins!

“Life is like a carousel. Sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re down, and sometimes you just go ‘round and ‘round….

10. She looks so happy.

And isn’t that all that matters?

We are ready for the start of a brand new week and brand new adventures. #charlotteschalkadventures

9. What little kid wouldn’t want to do that?

I mean…I want to do that, too.

I cannot believe the ride we are on right now!! We are loving every minute of it. When you receive an adorable whale…

8. I know it’s not the most complicated one, but it’s just so innocent.

Sweetness overload.

Today was a perfect spring day. I can't wait for our butterfly bush to bloom so we can watch all of our little friends at work.#charlotteschalkadventures

Posted by Abbey Burns Tucker on Monday, April 20, 2020

7. My heart cannot take this one.

Hold on, I need to call my sister.

One thing is for sure…these two together are trouble. I can only imagine that I will walk into this exact scene in my kitchen one day. #charlotteschalkadventures#chalkyourwalk

6. Super jealous of everything in this picture.

Those colors are just swoon.

5. It looks like a way funner version of friends.

That couch should have been pink.

4. Look at her, getting even MORE creative.

If I only had more time on my hands.

We tried something a little different today! In honor of the 2020 Olympics and all of the athletes whose dreams were…

This Cemetery Is a Colorful Resting Place for the Dead

In small towns, everybody knows everyone else’s business — there are no secrets and no hiding, period.

In the tiny town of Sapanta, Romania, that sentiment even applies in death. When its residents die, their lives are memorialized with truthful and often harsh words, pictures and symbols on their gravestones at a place known as The Merry Cemetery.

Photo Credit: fotos_de_xavier68 under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0

The work is the brainchild of a man named Stan Ioan Pătraş, who got his start carving crosses for the cemetery when he was just 14. Over the course of his life, he began implementing more elaborate designs that included poems and pictures.

When Pătraş died in 1977, his apprentice Dumitru Pop took over the important work.

Aside from being cheeky, the gravestones are absolutely gorgeous works of art:

This cemetery really does seem more “merry” and less “doom and gloom:”

Such intricate details:

One of the sassy poems goes like this:

Underneath this heavy cross
 / Lies my mother-in-law poor
 / Had she lived three days more
 / I would be here and she would read / You that are passing by / Try not to wake her up
 / For if she comes back home
 / She’ll bite my head off / But I will act in the way
 / That she will not return
 / Stay here my dear
 Mother-in-law.

If you ever decide to take a trip to Romania, be sure to put the Merry Cemetery on your list. Even if you can’t understand the poems on the gravestones, you can still appreciate the artistry and beauty of this place.

What do you think of this unique cemetery? Does it honor the dead appropriately? Yes or no?

We’d love to hear from you!

This Dad’s Solution To His Kids Fighting Over His Lap? This Awesome Triple Rocking Chair.

If you have more than one child (or one child and pets, or more than one pet) you likely know that problems arise when they realize you only have one lap – and someone else is already in it. My 17 month-old and my puppy regularly oust each other from that warm, cozy spot between my folded knees.

Reading a book is, of course, the time when laps are at a premium, and for one father, not being able to hold all three of his babies and tell them a story was too much – so he did something about it.

This was the first "outing" of my StoryTime Rocking Chair. It won first place at a Fredericksburg art exhibit. Rose, at…

Posted by Hal Russell Taylor on Friday, August 30, 2013

Hal Taylor is, in addition to being a father with three kiddos, a master craftsman. He loves reading to his kids, but after the third one – a daughter named Rose – was born, he realized he’d run out of lap (but not love).

He created a beautiful, one-of-a-kind (for now) masterpiece he calls the Storytime Rocking Chair. There are seats for at least 3 kids (I think you could do 4, with 2 on your lap).

And if you’re thinking this is something you could make yourself, well…not if you’re as good with wood craftmanship as Hal is.

He told Bored Panda “there are over 200 precisely cut and shaped pieces of wood which I use to make up the 19 back braces. That is more pieces than you will find in 20 normal rocking chairs.”

Recently finished StoryTime

Posted by Hal Russell Taylor on Wednesday, March 19, 2014

The man-hours and materials are two reasons he’s selling his hand-crafted rocker for around $7,000 online.

If you’ve got the cash and a bunch of kids, I’d say it’s a piece that would be handed down for generations to come.

Royal Pet Portraits You Need to See

These royal pet portraits are AMAZING.

Well, here’s your chance to let the whole world know about it!

Let’s look at these works by Crown and Paw. Be sure to check out their website, as well.

Have you had a portrait done for your pet?

If so, please share a photo with us in the comments!

People Show off Their Dog’s “Pawcasso” Artwork

Go ahead and call these dogs “Pawcassos“.

I gotta say, this is one of my favorite things that I’ve seen come out of this whole stay-at-home crisis that we’re living through right now.

People are creating work with their dogs’ pawprints and, as you can probably imagine, the results are awesome, adorable, and wholesome.

Let’s take a look at the work of these four-legged masters.

And you should try your own at home, too!

1. The look of an artist.

Very proud of her work. As she should be!

2. I love this one!

Stand up and take a bow!

Shy, but this artist is coming out of their shell.

5. Little dog. Big artwork.

Way to go, Dallas!

6. Be sure to sniff your finished piece.

I see a bright future for this one.

A beautiful work of art!

9. You’re going places!

Also, this big is as big as a horse.

You’ll see this up in a gallery very soon.

The look says it all…

Ollie is a very good boy! And a very good artist!

These are wonderful!

Have you done this with your pooch?

Or maybe even with your cat? Hamster? Squirrel? It really works with any pet…besides fish, I guess.

If so, please share some photos with us in the comments!

We’d love to see their work!

Funny, Fake Apps That Come in Handy While We’re Stuck at Home

I have to be honest…these apps aren’t real. I know, I know…I’m bummed about it, too.

These funny, FAKE apps are actually the work of a Swedish artist named Viktor Hertz. He calls this project “Honest Apps 2020” and they are right on target for the strange times we’re living in right now.

Can’t leave your house for the next few months? There’s an app for that!

But keep your heads up! It’ll get better!

12. Sad, but true right now…

🌸🌱💎 Do-it-yourself tea cup garden 🌿 I used: Dried moss, single chicken&hen blossom/bud (with roots), assorted crystal points (clear quartz & amethyst), and flower potting soil. Use your desired tea cup/mug/tiny planter/bowl/mini vase ✨ I filled the tea cup about 3/4 with soil, pushed a hole and planted the clipping, added the moss poof, and arranged the crystals to cover the remaining exposed soil. I water it about once a week with just about 1 tbs of water.

Nicki Minaj Has a Wax Statue and Nobody’s Happy About It…Except Her

Madame Tussauds is a wax museum with a main location in London and other locations in major cities elsewhere. It’s an institution that dates back to the mid 19th century, specializing in wax replicas of countless celebrities and pop culture characters.

But every once in a while, a Tussauds figure comes around that lives somewhere in the “No Thank You” region of the Uncanny Valley. For instance, twitter recently found out about their Nicki Minaj wannabe doppelganger, and they are not happy.

You know there’s something wrong right away, even if you can’t put your finger on it.

Because… hmmm….

Yeah, what’s going on here??

It quickly started getting ranked among similar sculpture missteps.

Because if Twitter is good at anything, it’s being judgey AF…

And there were a lot of takes on not just the look, but the pose itself.

Even Trevor Noah got in on the conversation:

But in all the hubbub, a couple of important details got lost…

1) The figure isn’t new, it’s been up for more than 4 years

2) Nicki has seen it, and apparently loved it

Hey internet… catch up!

What do you think? Not a really good representation of Nicki? Could they have done better? Or did they nail it?

Oh… and would you pay to see it in person?

Let us know in the comments!
