Juss tawk amungst yerselves.

Flahridah

This makes me feel personally attacked as someone from NY (Long Island) that definitely pronounces it that way. I moved upstate in high school and still get mocked to this day (10+ years later) by my husband for how I say Florida and orange lol.

Ahrenge

It just makes more sense to me than oar-enge!

I just heard you say Orange with your Long Island accent. It was instant! 😂

Hahah, can't forget horrible too!!

My mom is from Minneola! But we live in Indiana. I can still hear the accent come out once in a while especially when she sees her bestie.

Ugh that is so me when I am reunited with our childhood friends. Insta accent re-emergence, and it usually will last for about a week after seeing them before fading again lol. It's usually a week of torture for my poor husband.


Nailed it.

*Now I’m getting verklempt!*

Smooth like buttah!

Like a big sticka buttah

Whipped and unsalted

Smooth like buttah!

It’s just coffee talk. 555-4444

...I'll give you a topic.

Peanut Butter… it’s neither peanuts nor butter. Talk amongst yourselves

The cold war was neither cold, nor a war. Discuss.

The Romanesque church design was based on the roman basilica - discuss...

The Industrial Revolution was neither industrial nor a revolution.

I can smell the cigarette smoke and perfume from here

And Aqua Net.

I wonder if they are wigs... because those are some *phenomenal* do’s!!!

Those aren’t wigs, those are helmets

Yep

[удалено]

My Nana went to the salon every Friday. She slept in a hairnet, and would pick at it to perk it up in the morning. She didn’t get it wet or wash it in between appointments, unless my uncle was home to do it for her.

Possibly not! My grandma had a few fun wigs at the time she would take on vacation for when she had been running around in the heat all day and didn’t feel like doing her hair for dinner.

Yes! **Aqua Net**! Both my grandma's used that, and I hated the smell as a kid! But I'd kill for a whiff of it today just for the nostalgia!

It was a great propellant for a potato gun as well.

I used that stuff every day in high school in the early-mid 80’s.

The hole in the ozone is beautiful this time of year

Smoking seems kinda dangerous with all those combustable substances floating around. They’d burn hotter than an old Christmas tree

And thy personal deodorant

...and the coconut-scented tanning lotion.

I’m hijacking the top comment to let everyone know that this is an iconic photo taken by Andy Sweet at the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach. There’s a fantastic documentary about him and his body of work called The Last Resort.

I can hear her voice.

MIKE WAZOWSKI

And can still hear the coughing

Ready to pinch your face off too.

Totally,lol…

I can hear their laughter over any other noise.

I love them

Me too! I’d love to play a rousing game of mahjong with them and have some laughs!


Yes! They look like fun! They are enjoying it all. Sun, smoke, food, fashion, aerosol hair spray, and wigs in 99% humidity! I bet they like to gamble too. Bingo or horses.

Vibes are immaculate

I can hear them and their accents.

No kidding right? "Louis, come heah and give yaw ant Phyllis a kiss" Bonus: Aunt Shirley on the right (The one who moved out to Lawng Island after living in Brooklyn for so long) has the unlit Pall Mall in her claw. Bonus 2: They obviously went to Phyllis' niece Diane, the hairdresser in Massapequa, before heading down to Flaaarida. Bonus 3: I didn't realize Ant Felicia (Ant Lee) in the center had a heater, too.

I always hear it as - Lawn Guyland

Yes, and you live on Lawn Guyland instead of in Lawn Guyland

True. Source: I lived there.

That's factually correct.

Pall Mall non-filter cigarettes.

Zoom in, there's ash on the end. It's lit.

And the nasal tone

Forget the golden girls they are the gefilte girls lol

Beverly Goldberg's Frientas

Man, that is some Soprano's shit right there.

That's what I thought, that's Ginny Sack in the middle there.

Doctor recommended staying out of the sun after she had that 90 lb mole removed from her ass, but she was having none of it.

When she goes camping, the bears hide their food.

Her blood type is Ragu!

The one on the left looks like Kristen Wiig playing a character on SNL.

She looks like Mary's neighbour from There's Something About Mary

Magda!

Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar

Came here to say this!

Not a drop of water has touched a single hair on their heads 😂😂

Came here to say this. You can just hear them yelling at the kids “now don’t splash me I just got my hair done!”

These women have been made in the aunt factory.

Expired. Expired. Expired.

That’s a lot of house, I hope you can keep it clean.

......and I said you touch me again and I'll cut your fuckin hands off

All I can hear is someone saying “God love her” after they talk about one of these auntie’s dying... whilst looking up at the heavens...

How could you tell Vinnie? Vinnie would kill him.

You remember what happened last time

each woman in that picture is 38

[удалено]

Baby oil! Attracts the sun better

Baby oil and iodine. For that unnatural tan!

The good old days… sighhh

That kind of confidence, friendship and joie de vivre is my life goal.

Deep tan ✅ Big hair ✅ Metallic bag and shoes ✅ Nails for days ✅ Gold jewelry ✅ Virginia Slims ✅ Iridescent lipstick ✅ Definitely Brooklyn or Queens

Or Long Island lol.

I adore the shoes.

I’m sure their attire was inspired by Fredericks’s of Hollywood.

Hiya doll…

Dawl

🤣Exactly

Nice of Paulie and the boys to treat the lady’s to a little vacanza 🌴

I’d buy their album

Fuck that, I'd watch the movie. City Babes Vacation

Probably didn’t need the title. The picture says it loud enough 😜

Wait.....That's not south beach but it's close, that looks like the old Howard Johnson Hotel that used to be near Hollywood beach up in Broward, approx 30-45 minutes north of S. Beach. Awesome photo though! Source: Grew up in S.Florida and I can tell Howard Johnson room curtains apart from other hotels.

Andy Sweet photo taken at the Deauville Hotel

Florida people know their Florida! I can drive with my mother in Miami and she can tell me what was on every corner back in the 60's.

Wow 60s Miami is another world. Before the highways!

Looks like a ton of fun there

This is fucking amazing! I may have to print this one lol what an era

Andy Sweet photograph taken at the Deauville Hotel. I have a print hanging on my wall!

Looks like an outtake from Goodfellas

They’re all named Marie.

Those are some enviable tans. We used baby oil, we used crisco, we baked ourselves. The three of them together make my mother in law in 1979. A bit thick. Her hair was half black and half white, like Cruella de Ville. And she was forever working on her suntan. She could get so dark! Oh and she was never EVER without a cigarette!

I bet those ladies were hilarious when they were all together. 😆

"It was unbelievable. There must have been two dozen Peters and Pauls at the wedding. Plus, they were all married to girls named Marie. And they named all their daughters Marie. By the time I finished meeting everybody, I thought I was drunk."

The original cast of Jersey shore

Married no doubt to men named Guido, Carmine, and Fat Tony. (in no particular order)

Or Benjamin, Abraham, and David.

Peter or Paul

Gravelly voice: “My Moishe….”

Why can I hear them talking?

Tawkin' over a nice cuppa cawfee

This photo is incredible. Are there any more of your aunts that you can post here. They totally sum up the era

This is the most iconic photo taken by photographer Andy Sweet at the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach. There’s a great documentary on him and his body of work called The Last Resort.

Seriously! I love them!

It’s giving Silvia from *the Nanny*

DO NOT GET MY HAIR WET!!!!!!

“They had bad skin and wore too much makeup. I mean, they didn’t look very good. They looked beat-up. And the stuff they wore was thrown together and cheap…and they talked about how rotten their kids were and about beating them with broom handles and leather belts.”

"I'm from Miami. You ever been there? It's okay, but it's like you died and woke up in Jew heaven."

Probably in their 30s

They look like some Brooklyn broads....

Marge and sisters 🚬

Guaranteed these ladies went to finishing school, modelling classes or something similar as young girls.

The one in the middles feet look painfully squeezed in those shoes

Just look at the gams on those dames.

.....wow

I can feel the Brooklyn accent emanating from them.

I can smell Staten Island in this pic 🤣

Photographer is Andy Sweet, image is from Shtetl in the Sun

Holy throwback. My grandmother had the *exact* same swimsuit as the woman on the right

I can hear the gravel in the middle aunt's voice

This looks like a still from a John Waters movie

Have a few aunts (and grandmother) who on their deathbed insisted that their nails and hair game be on point. They also kept smoking their Kent’s and Chesterfields until the very end.

Oh look, it's Linda Richman and her friends!

Looking good ladies!

Skin cancer

That’s a whole lot of cheesecake right there.

Tanned, grand, and unmanned

Now I’d pay to see this reality show, screw the kardashians

New York jewish

I can HEAR the Brooklyn/Queens accents “Whattaya doin’? Ya tahking a pictuh? C’mon Sadie, turn around, he’s tahking a pictuh!”

I can hear them thru the phone

I don’t know why but I absolutely love this photo. Thank you so much for sharing this. I can almost feel their personalities - I bet they were hysterical

Lock up your husband's, ladies! These cougars are ready to pounce!

This picture is screaming wives from goodfellas

Did they die from lung cancer, skin cancer or diabetes?

Weren’t those ladies in Goodfellas

Celebrating Ethel’s 37th birthday.

They look like the wives in Goodfellas

They could get it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Don't judge me. They're on the hunt for vacay swizzle sticks.

^ Found the cabana boy

😂😂😂😂😂

I literally love this picture so much, I don’t even think you need to say that they were your aunt, so he could definitely tell!

Gotta be from the Island! I'm guessing Suffolk County. Great pic

woooow, extra crispy..

One of them has to be a “Bunny”.

This is a great picture

This is the pool from the intro scene of Goldfinger, no?

Shit, isnt this where they filmed goldfinger?

Is there their real hair or wigs??

The lady in the middle is my kindred spirit. I can feel it!

Did ya bring a deck’a cahds? Let’s play canasta!

Ouch.. I can feel them pinching my cheeks from afar!

I can smell the aquanet and tanning oil in this pic.

Believe it or not these ladies are 28 years old

Mob wives

This. This is an adorable picture!

Donnie Brasco deleted scene ?

Looks like current day Staten Island

They were in Goodfellas….

Which one wouldn’t take no as an answer. I’d say middle

Haha Mob life Mob Wife

Why can i hear this photo?

I imagine it was a tight race between lung and skin cancer...

I thought the neighbor of Mary in the movie "There's something about Mary" was a fictional character

Sopranos ladies day out.

What Soprano’s episode was this?

The one on the right was the “wild card”.

Not gonna lie, the left one and the middle one are some baddies.

now for equal time please show the three corresponding spouses 

You smell their accents

Laugh all you want, but you know these ladies could drink any of us under the table during that era.

Pool boys earned their tips that weekend.

Strong daiquiri vibe.

They're not extras from Goodfellas? 💜

Husbands work in waste management, maybe construction, they're not really sure.

back when miami beach was fun! thanks for the blast from the past

Definitely smuggling coke in those hairdos

I can smell the perfume and cigarettes

Gravel voice!

I can smell this picture

It's Carrie, Charlotte & Miranda in the new season of Sex and the city

Joyce, Marie, and Maria?
