Back in the USSR

A few years ago, my mom gave me a giant box of slides from Moscow, ranging from the 1970's to the early 1980's. I know, I know...slides?? Hey, we Russians didn't have access to fancy capitalist technology. Har har...

Amazingly, my tech-hoarding bf Freddy happened to have this crazy contraption that attaches to your scanner specifically for film slides. These were pretty exciting to scan in because I actually don't have that many pictures from my early childhood that weren't professional photos. (I find that candid is always better) Freddy joked that I still dress the same.
Here I am with our neighbor's son on their door swing. Ok, it's true...I would still wear that.
We are so excited about that scrawny Christmas tree!


This picture pretty much sums me up. Cats, doilies, over-the-top wallpaper, and giant hair bows.
