I'd say something but I'm scared to wake up next to the head of a horse.

The best part is that no one is looking in the same direction.

Gianfranco is apparently keeping his pimp-hand fresh.

Where is the mother looking at? He looks like some evil maffiaguy.

i like how the one in the red is like, "i'm so launching a lifelong rebellion against you at puberty, dad."

Gianfranco has scared everyone from coming near his daughters with that icy stare of death!

"The Shining"

Too bad nobody ever voted for him.

Being Italian myself, I wouldn't have even had to see the man's name to know he and his family were Italian.

That guy is a dead ringer for Abe Lincoln. Weird!

Now you see his family. And now you don't. Oh where oh where did you bury the bodies Gianfranco!!

He sits in his chair and smokes his cigarette and just whispers. You will NEVER know!

I guess the photographer was too scared of the G Man to tell him and his family to wipe their shoes off before they stepped onto the background paper.

Once again, I thought that vampires couldn't be photographed.

It's Honest Abe and family!

His socks match perfectly his suit. Nice touch.

I didn't know Emma Thompson was starring in an Italian mob movie.

Ok, how has no one commented on the fact that this could be a VC Andrews book cover? Those books with the dual covers and you open up and inside is a creepy family portrait? There's always the little girl (main character) and an older, horrifying family member looming over them all.

Hey it's Hillary Clinton

This is Ralph Nader!

He looks like he needs to pee. Who sits with their legs crossed that tightly?

It's reassuring that Gianfranco and at least one of his offspring share the same taste in socks

I think that girl's a little too old to be sitting in mommy's lap.

I'd make fun of this guy, but he'd kill me.

Is that Abraham Lincoln?

Jodi Renshaw said...

I would hang these on my wall. So cool. So classic.

He looks EXACTLY like Lincoln. Could be his twin.

His wife is such a disappointment for not producing a son.
