Found in family archives (i.e. on the grandparents' balcony in Kiev).
These are pictures of my mother as a young girl, ranging from 1972 to approximately 1975

My goodness, she was so unbelievably cute. These pictures are charming. :)

[black_syringa]

I know! =) She's still beautiful, though. Thank you!

I like the collars in the last one :)

I must dig out my mother-in-law's photos from communist-era Czechoslovakia. The civil defence and pioneer uniforms look quite exotic now.

I know what you mean! We have lots of old photos and books and there's always someone good for a story around - it's unimaginable nowadays, but it *was* true...
My grandparents lived for a while in Czechoslovakia / Czech Republic, right around the time of the splitting. We still have some schoolbooks from that time!

SO ADORABLE! Thanks for sharing.

I just have to ask - are there pants missing in that last one or are my eyes deceiving me?

[black_syringa]

No problem. =)
Yeah, that looks like a really short skirt to me. But my guess is she's wearing tights.

Cool photos! Your mom still looks cute!

[black_syringa]

I know, I know. I'll make a fan page for you and Tom, ok?

[korpun]

Actually I am rather a Fan of you, Anna than of your mother. Although she's beautiful - without any doubt
