from right: my great aunt cecilia “chila” cortez, my great aunt mary barbo with her husband ruben barbo, my great grandmother lorenza “blanche” roque, my grandmother evalina perez, and my great aunt ophelia “giche” bowers.
seriously, people in my family have the sweetest nicknames ever. speaking of nicknames, i actually have my own, which was given to me by my uncle ruben (who happens to be pictured above). he used to call me “blondie” because despite my naturally dark brown hair today, i was naturally blonde as a child. no joke. i’ll give you photographic evidence sometime.
now back to the pictures:

Haha, I love how fashionable your entire family is.
That picture of her sitting on the car is beautiful. Definitely a classic (;
I want that classic car she's sitting on! very lovely family photos!
i've never commented before, but these recent family posts have inspired me to! i just love these photos so much! i especially love that last one. i wish my family had taken as many pictures!
OMG this is so rad… love seeing old photos from the past. Your family is hot!
I'm still loving the family photos. I've been preoccupied with the perfect cloche since I saw one of your relatives rocking one a few posts back.
your family is way cute.
It made me so happy to see these photos. I love seeing vintage photos of latino families because we don’t see them that often. your family all had great style!
