By the time you were born your grandparents had already gone through raising your parents – so it’s safe to say their lives were a little less glamorous than they used to be.
But if you get a chance, take grandma or grandpa up on the chance to look through some old family photo albums to see their lives before children. We’re guessing you’d be surprised at just how old-school cool they once were (and perhaps still are!).
1. Glam-ma
This is next level.
Shouldn’t we all wear gowns on gondolas in Venice more often? It’s the least we can do to leave our potential grandchildren such a treasure.
2. Date night
Check out these glamorous grandparents!
They had no idea thousands (or more) people would see that date-night photo back in 1948 – but they sure were dressed for the occasion!
3. Teenage heartthrob
How are you supposed to feel when you find out your grandpa had a 6-pack and looked like a hot Tarzan?
We want to know what kind of work he did to get that ripped – because that was one heck of a summer job!
4. The look of love
Wedding photos are always so fun to look at.
Just check out the way these two look at one another. This is vintage glam at its very best.
5. When your grandmother is Snow White
How does she manage to look so gorgeous (and clean) on a farm while cavorting with wild animals?
It must be pretty exciting to find out your grandma is a Disney character. But would a fairy godmother be better?
6. Winning winter
Check out this stylish pair après ski.
There’s a special style the glamorous adhere to after hitting the slopes – and boy did they nail it!
7. Stunning sidekick
Go, grandma! Back in this day, this woman was the support system that led to a big NASCAR win.
We’d love to hear stories about how welcome women were at the track.
8. Good, old-fashioned scandal
This is what passed for scandalous in Taiwan in the 1940s.
And there are many more areas in the world where this would have been considered a wildly inappropriate public display of affection. Times sure have changed!
9. What a hunk!
What a fine young gentleman he looks like.
The hair, the steely eyes, those dimples! No wonder grandma was cheered up by a colorized photo of her beau.
10. Grandbros
How fun would it be to have pictures of your grandparents from separate sides of the family hanging out together long before you were born?
Maybe that happens more often in small towns.
Do you think these guys ever talked about their future children at that age?
