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.
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!

WendyB says

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!?
Marian says
now that is a great throw back picture. The expression on your Mum’s face is priceless.
Marian says
p.s your Mommy is a total hottie!!!
WendyB says
Isn’t she? 🙂
Susan Partlan says
That photo of your Mom reminds me of you.
WendyB says
Oh, thank you!
stacy says
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.
WendyB says
BWAH!
