Okay, when Amber created “Fugly Photo Friday,” the alliteration made sense. But I have a few really ugly photos of myself, and it’s Saturday today, so we’ll all have to accept that it’s Sugly Soto Saturday. Nn-K?

Anyway, here is the first photo, made during the heyday of the polyester revolution, about 1975 or so. You can also see that I am struggling desperately with my hair identity, caught exactly halfway between Woodstock and Mork and Mindy. I am also working to perfect my squint.

Also pictured are my grandfather Russell Barron, a sister who prefers to remain anonymous, my mother Sarah Jo Barron, and my grandmother Mini Alleen Barron. The original image is a Polaroid.

I think we have a new ugly photo leader!
