Don't F with Us
FOUND by Jefrey Wilkerson in Collingswood, NJ
This is one of my first finds. I picked it up off the sidewalk outside of my high school sometime around '92. I remember there was a fire drill that day. I put this in a photo album I've kept for all these years.

Danielle could easily be the author of today's other Find.

It's confirmed. Bullet holes. No wonder she and Danielle fight all the time. Who copied whose hairstyle first??

I'm left wondering if finder JW recognized any of these young women from school or the community? And if so, did he know about their "club".

Wish the airbrush T pics were visible -- I think they'd be quite telling.
Odd that it almost seems like a portrait studio pic -- in any case, an unsettling photo.

Is anyone able to identify that firearm?

Woo-hoo...we're back to adolescent people holding objects that are (more than slightly) disturbing!

One T-shirt says "Danielle" (look how she's grown!), Miss AK47's says "Gangsta" (hardly surprising, under the circs) and the last, I believe, says "Teresa". Teresa doesn't look sold on the photo op...maybe they've been posing too long. But of course, you really can't smile in a pic like this without ruining your "gangsta moll" image.

Fellow Foundhounds, that is a US-made M16, if anyone wants to know. Serious firepower for one so young.

Whoever shot this photo is obviously an amateur. A pro would have made sure you could see what's on those t shirts. Dang it, I want to see the t shirts!

It just doesn't get any more Gangsta than that.

I'm calling the gun-totin gangsta bitch Jill.

Mom Interrupted in the tanning booth- trying to get some street cred.
It's just so hard to look hardcore gangsta in glasses and white skin.

It comes off more backwater, uneducated trailer trash- which I doubt is the look these Jersey Girls are going for.

Even the M-16 can't help you, ladies. Sorry about your unfortunate melanin status.

The home perms don't help a bit, either. Can someone tell me why poorly-blonded hair with black roots looks better than your own color? Even celebrities seem to go for this look.

Muse on the Loose
All the other kids at school had been picking on Jill, Teresa, and Danielle ever since they found the embarrassing photo of them playing with jacks. In an attempt to seem formidable, they bought an M-16, some graffitti-style shirts, hoop earrings, and blonde hair dye. They went to get their picture taken, but the photographer was a bit of an amateur. Danielle's glasses didn't really help, either.

a beautiful mind, somewhere out there
AH!! Scarier than that frickin' baby pic from yesterday (talking about the hair..YIKES!!)

If your are going to pose with an M-16, ya have to look good. Doesn't work here, ladies.

I'm thinking this was taken in one of those amusement park booths where they dress you up as '20's gangsters or saloon girlies, complete with props, and that these girls decided their new airbrushed t-shirts (bought that day at the same amusement park) were preferable to the tie-in-back costumes the photographer offered.

Um, except those booths usually have backdrops to pose in front of.

Well, maybe this was the budget package.

this picture would have been taken at the Pennsauken Mart, I recognize the poses and the portrait background from having worked across from the picture studio. My guess would be circa 1990/91.

Jersey Boy, what other props did this picture studio have? Hand grenades? Molotov Cocktails?

This needs to be submitted to the Sexy People blog.

Teresa looks like she'd be a really nice person, but I don't know about the other two.

I read one of those true crime books once about a teenaged girl who killed her girlfriend when she tried to break up with her. I don't remember the girl's name or the name of the book, but Danielle REALLY looks like one of the friends who helped her kill the girl.

Frottage in your local mall's photo booth posing with my "love gun" out
A photographic representation of how deeply fucked we are as a nation which also gives the impression that it's been going on for quite some time, at least all the way back to the Marky Mark years. Great - if embarrassing, like almost all U.S. finds - find. Mall bangs, please meet my new friend assault rifle.

Hold on,
WAIT!! I found this outside Collingswood HS in New Jersey... Gangsta Bitch probably does know them! For Serious.
BTW I did know Danielle in grade school. She was kind of quiet then.

I'm glad that the author pinned a year on this of about 1992, because this really takes me back in a way. I graduated from high school in 1993, and these three hairdos and jewelery sets summarize the looks of every girl in my school at the time, what with the semi-big hair and the wet look. (I remember a girl in our class who had hair exactly like Gangsta's!) I remember the era of big hair and poofball bangs; that was when I was in middle school. By the time I graduated, the era of big hair was ending. The hair was not as big as in the 80s but not as "small" as from the mid-90s to today; it was an intermediate step. I also remember when all that airbrushed stuff was a popular fad. I'm glad that's gone by the wayside. Man, what a blast from the past, except for the gun part, of course. :)
