Photographer: Okay what screams childhood? Hmmm. Pioneer wagon wheel…and MASSIVE cigarettes.
calvin harris’ first big song was “acceptable in the 80s” and I think about that phrase a lot
Let’s make a list of what was acceptable in the 1980s?
-Smoking while holding your newborn. -Smoking in your hospital room. -Smoking on planes.
Smoking with kids in a car with the windows up.
Smoking in McDonald’s with McDonald’s branded ashtrays
-Letting a nerd rape your drugged girlfriend. I grew up in the '80s and this one disturbs me the most in retrospect. Like, this seemed totally normal and acceptable.
Oh the 80s were full of casual sexual assault that women and girls were supposed to tolerate. This is why I hate the conservative bellyaching about how kids don’t need smartphones; you have NO idea the danger we ended up in as largely unsupervised kids in the 80s.

I think that sometimes huge props are used in movies or commercials. Maybe this was once used in a Malboro ad…
Quite possibly. 80s portrait photos did have some odd backgrounds though.
