This photo isn’t in very good condition, but I still love it. I believe it’s from the early ’80s. That’s my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, on the right, and her stylish friend Ursula on the left.
BarbaraB doesn’t have a look of disapproval on her face, but something about her expression — plus the angle and distance between Mom and Ursa — made me think of the famous picture of Sophia Loren eyeing Jayne Mansfield’s bosom.
Ursula was so chic and severe. She reminded me of sex-ay villain Ursa from 1980’s Superman II. Hmmm … she even has the full sleeves.

Sarah Douglas as Ursa in Superman II.
The names are awfully close too. OMG! Ursa survived Superman II and was living a quiet civilian life in Mahwah, N.J.!
ha! The Sophia Loren pic is one of my all-time favorites. Your mom is gorgeous and so is her friend–I want that blouse Ursula is wearing!
I do love a puffy-sleeved shirt!
wow, two foxes! I also love the photo of Sophia and Jayne. It looks unposed, but who knows? or cares? : >
Yeah, a great picture is a great picture!
that is funny! i see how one reminded you of the other!
I love that picture of Sophia – someone gave it to me as a birthday card once (I believe I was Jayne).
The pic of your mom is classic – gawd, don’t you just love the clothes and the make-up and that hair!?
now that is a great throw back picture. The expression on your Mum’s face is priceless.
p.s your Mommy is a total hottie!!!
Isn’t she? 🙂
That photo of your Mom reminds me of you.
Oh, thank you!
Good find! That pick of Sophia is scary close to your mommy!
OMG, Jayne M. should just set a place at the table for her breasts already.
BWAH!
