Typical midwest God-fearing housewife? Check. Southern redneck that loves the sound of a squealing pig? Check. Donald Trump-emulating son that will one day become addicted to cocaine? Check. Cliché late 80s chick? Check.

I'd say one of these things is not like the other, but this is honestly the most mismatched group of people I've ever seen in my life.

What would we do, baby, without us?

Family ties, the serial killer edition.

This is a very special family. Apparently the kids have their mother's smile.
Mr. Tilton seems aloof.. Maybe he's just shy?

oh god.

Wow, when the height of your hair is almost the same as the size of your head...you've gone too far.

Something tells me Dad disapproves of his daughter's slutty hair and makeup. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, his son dreams of taking it in the chute from his sexy cousin Andrew.

Alex P. Keaton visits his "other" family...

Amy said...

That is incredible. Her hair is almost equal to the height of her face. It must be so crunchy.

Anyone else had the worst Sylar paranoia when you saw this pic??

Before Our Time said...

Cheryl Wade said...

Is it just me or is everyone trying to escape the hair. Dissassociation much?

Where is Charlene?

Bob Bobs said...

I always love it (not) when I get to take pictures of a family like this. Everybody is happy and having a great time, and there's dad trying his best to make sure everyone knows that he would like nothing better than to have an excuse to kill me or anyone else.

The photographer wanted to try a gag portrait shot so he and the real dad got a homeless guy to step in and take the picture with the family for all the empty cans and bottles in the back room.

It's like the Olan Mills dream team!

That was a rockin' chic. You can tell she was spending Friday nights and the Dew Drop In bar on Hwy 154.

Jo said...

I do believe this is the bestest pic yet on the site. Oh wow. It's got it all!!!

BlondeSoul said...

Ekkk Monsters!!!
WTF is up with that hair?????
I know she owns stock in Aqua Net.

Molly Millions said...

HOLY MOTHER. This is all kinds of WRONG. Are they all really the same family?? The only normal one is the mom. Everyone is in their own world!! Dad is about to make a new suit out of the photographer's skin. Just looking at him makes my blood run cold. The son is too, but he's taking the more Ted Bundy approach. And the daughter...how is her hair even structurally possible in our gravity??? Mom is just glad to get everyone in the same room. That poor Olan Mills photog better effing RUN.

Back in the day that would have been considered a pretty awesome 'clue catcher'.

Brenda said...

That girls hair! Good God! I would have killed for volume like that back in '88.

sha said...

The daughter looks like she's wearing her father's beard on her head. Perhaps the mother has been saving all his hair over the years to make a nice hairpiece for her daughter who has a form of alopecia?

words...words...words... said...

It's nice that the family included their pet raccoon in the picture.

Jeff said...

only a mother could lovde these guys

The higher the hair, the closer to God.

Felicity Walker said...

The daughter is awesome! I miss 1980s girls.

wendy said...

The hole in the ozone layer is caused soley by that girls hair

T-Mo said...

I just wish the dad had the daughters hair style!

T-Mo said...

I think the dad needs to style his hair like his daughters!

T-Mo said...

I think the dad needs to get his hair done like his daughters.

Izzy said...

Am I, like, the only one who thinks the son is totally cute? D:

Anonymous said...

Mr. Tilton is NOT amused, nor particularly happy, that he was made to bathe for, for....THIS.

The son looks like friggin' Jm J. Bullock, circa "Hollywood Squares."

Danielle said...

The look that dad has on his face seems to suggest what his next move will be with the body that he has hidden in the basement.
