Man, who isn’t a sucker for looking at cool vintage photos of grandma from when she was hot? People over on r/OldSchoolCool are sharing photos of their family members in their teens and 20’s and it’s so interesting to see how things have changed after all these years. The only thing that has stayed the same is there is no denying that meemaw is an absolute fox.
