Even when you count for inflation, I’d still pay $29 for that today.

Instant viewing of your color video proofsĪll for $17.76? That’s pretty good.

Four exciting wardrobe and accessory changes.

So what was included in the Glamour Shots package? This ad from The Tuscaloosa News Jissue out of Tuscaloosa, AL breaks it down for us (and as always – click to embiggen!): This ad in the JEugene Register-Guard from Eugene Oregon is looking for Glamour Shots employees– makeup skills are “helpful”. Suddenly these Plain Janes were super models, and for a low (high) fee, they even had their head shots taken care of already. Feeling a little down in the dumps? Want to feel beautiful? Wanted? That’s nothing big hair, a pound of hot pink blush, and a soft focus couldn’t fix. Glamour Shots made us feel good in a way that we didn’t know we needed to feel good. Unlike Sears, Glamour Shots would tart you up like the finest 80s prostitute with a heart of gold.

Like Sears, Glamour Shots was located in your local mall.

If Sears Photography at the mall could do this much damage, I don’t even want to know what Glamour Shots would have done to me. There are plenty of embarrassing childhood photos of me from Sears. I never had a Glamour Shots experience and damn am I glad I dodged that bullet. If you’re a child of the 80s and 90s chances are you’ve had a brush with Glamour Shots, whether it was through begging your mom to take you and being denied or actually going and then actively destroying your Glamour Shots photos that were still displayed in your relatives’ front rooms throughout the 2000s. What comes to mind when you hear Glamour Shots? Wait, don’t tell me– I can read minds: big hair, leather cowboy jacket, and ALL THE EYESHADOW.
