Retro Glamor Shots Party!!

Hi Everyone.  Lori @ Family Trees May Contain Nuts is having a glamor shots party today.
Remember those?  I actually never had any done but I do have some that I think will qualify.
While in college I did a wee bit of modeling.  I was living in Madison, Wisconsin the year was 1977 and I had a few shots taken by photographers who needed to work on their portfolios.
Now don't giggle too much.  I actually like some of the pics.  They were all taken when I was 20 years old and it seems like a lifetime ago.  But their kind of fun to have and show to my kids and my future soon to be grandchild.




The first photographer went for the girl next door look.  How about that hat?  Now that was his idea.




I was wearing a coat in this pic although I don't remember why.

This pic is in kind of rough shape but I just had to show you my going out with John Travolta dress.
Right out of Saturday Night Fever, oh I loved that movie!   Very retro 70's !


Strutting in a granny gown!
Oh my gosh! 




And I actually thought I looked fat in this pic.  I am 5 ft. 5 1/2 inches and weighed a 115 lbs. 
Geez, what was I thinking!
The next pics were taken by a different photographer.  My hair was shorter and he was more into the sultry look.


I had my Dorothy Hammill haircut going in these pics.




This photographer liked the heavily lined eyes and lips and lots of powder for contrast.






Last one.  I have more but I am sure that you have seen enough.
It was fun to pull them out and look at them although it kind of made me wince to see how young I was.
Now go say hi to Lori and check out the other glamor shot links.

  1. Oh you were so Mary Quant in those first shots. I love them and can hear the music of the times playing in the background.
    These are really quite a treasure aren't they. Look at the one that lines up next to your daughter's photo and see the similarities. We see where her beauty came from.
    These are really great shots Cindy and thanks so much for joining in. We were pretty hawt, oh hell we still are. Lol

  2. I don't think your face has changed much in any of these pictures...still the pretty eyes and long eyelashes! You are just stunning in these. My favorite is in the coat...you look so serene and confident. And you look fab in the bathing suit, girl!! To think we thought we were fat. I was always muttering about my fat tummy and I was also 115 pounds.

    Wasn't this a daring party? {thanks, Lori!} It has been hard to check the comments. lol!

    Just have to say one more time...you look mahhhhvelous, darling!

  8. Oh Cindy Sweetie...
    You haven't changed a bit. You look just as beautiful today as you did then. I love the last one most of all. They are all great, but the last one captures your true soul. So beautiful.

    I remember those John Travolta dresses, and yes I too had a granny gown. Boy we thought we were really stylin then didn't we?

    Thanks for sharing with me sweetie. What a beautiful collection. Your little grand daughter will be smiling away someday when you share them with her.

    Hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

  15. Oh Wow! Cindy, you are one hot mama (soon to be grandmama)! No wonder the photographers wanted to take your photo for their portfolios. I'm sure it's much easier to take a great photo when you have a beautiful subject. I love how sophisticated you look in the coat. Oh, I remember having those granny dresses, and I NEVAH looked that good in a swimsuit! This was such fun. laurie

  19. Cindy, You are gorgeous! I was in college in 1977 too and I think I had the same outfits! I know for sure that I had the Dorothy Hamill camel haircut! I'll bet that quite a few of us did because it was very popular. Your daughter looks just like you. Your granddaughter will have so much fun with these! Oh to go back to those bikini bodies. Linda

  25. Hello, Gorgeous! Thanks for stopping by my blog and the nice comment. Enjoyed seeing your pix, and I think I like the Granny Gown one the best! I remember those, and I think we should bring them back.

  26. Isn't it funny to learn that "fat" is relative! I'd give anything to weigh what I weighed the night BEFORE my first child was born!
    You look great!

    I look at photos from days of yore and think "Why ever did I think I was fat?" So now I just enjoy the me that I am.
