Ahhhhh... nothing says family togetherness like an oversized brandy snifter.

Touching, really.

Bartender, there's a family in my drink.

The Richardson Family: Light, fruity, easy to drink. With an aroma of pear. Pair them with fish.

It is nice to see the Richardson family is so open about the importance of booze in their family.

"...this looks great, but is there anyway you could capture my rampant drinking by photoshopping us into a snifter? Ooooh, and drop a red rose in there. And I'll throw in an extra $20 for a lens flare."

Fascinating. I wonder whether the baby grew up to be an alcoholic.

You'd have to be under the "influence" of something to choose that frame for a family pic! LOL!

No, that baby is a future Al-anon attendee.

Some of my parents friends had a photo like this and I remember when I was growing up it always freaked me out....wait, it still does. *Mama*

Insert joke about Couvassier here...

And I thought putting a worm in a bottle of hooch was weird...

This must be what they mean when they say "drink til they're pretty." I feel like I need a drink now.

That rose has the thickest petals ever!

Wow, A drink to forget the painful moments in the family's life

Seems like foreshadowing to me..."Hon, the baby just won't stop crying and go to sleep, any ideas?" "Sure, babe, just give her a shot of the brandy I'm sucking on...works for me!"

I wonder if there were any issues with alcohol? Seems very sketchy to me.

My Mom used to do photography like this back in the 80's. Usually it's a romantic couple who request the "brandy snifter" effect. The whole family is weird!

A wonderful guy and I got our photos taken in San Francisco at a little shop and when it came out, we were in a snifter, too.I was shocked, but my beau really liked it. Then we had our 1st arguement and eventually broke up over it.I hope things went better for this family!

Ellery said...

ZOMG!!!!!!! THAT FAMILY IS STUCK IN A BRANDY GLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Us Craven's said...

AA anyone- or is it a "toast" to family togetherness?

Cupcake Lightning said...

the fact they chose to be inside inside a brandy snifter speaks volumes.

I need to remake this.

My friend and her high school sweetheart had a photo done just like this one. We called it "Fruit Cup" behind her back. lol

How are they gonna get out the glass?

Shelouise said...

It's little Sheila in a brandy snifter!

Anonymous said...

Maybe the couple wanted to commemorate how the baby came about.

A rose AND a brandy snifter?

Anonymous said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LOVE IT!!!

Belladonna said...

Klassay!

Child: Momma, why are we in this drink glass?

Because that's how you were conceived, Brandy. Now run along and get Momma another cocktail.

Emily said...

How do you make a baby? 1 part man, 1 part woman, 4 parts B&B. Back to basics.

Michelle Wood said...

Fucking Classy!!

"That scam-artist who sold me that expensive water softener system said it would get RID of dried on spots and film on my glassware! What a joke!"

"Told ya hon, life in the snifter ain't so bad." (Dear god, kill us)

"Them's some nifty special effects, Cletus!"

deimos said...

hmmm, I get a whiff of early computer nerd with a hint of dirty pampers and just a trace of prozac mom. Robert Parker gives it an 87

rott said...
