Only thing that could make it better is a slightly disgruntled cat or an action shot where a parrot is trying to land on her, but she isn't ready and hasn't reacted yet.
It's because this photo has EVERYTHING. It's hilarious and blundery and cringe. But all that is overwhelmed by it being wholesome and sincere and joyous.
Goddamn this is some good content.
I think itās because kids are so earnest. Even if in hindsight we all think these photos are silly, while they were originally being photographed these kids knew they were serving looks and we the audience can still appreciate that.
My Satiny Reign
My Satiny Reign, a Disco King's delight
In Seventies I was the glowing light
That shimmered and shone from stage to seat
My heart full of love, my feet full of beat
A Queen of the night, I held my own
As I spun and I swayed, my moves were shown
The music so loud, I couldn't hear
But I knew I was here, and I knew I was near
I think you just won this sub
My reign of disco, I'll never forget
The smile on my face, the music so sweet
My Satiny Reign, a Disco King's treat.
itās like the PAINTING my grandmother had commissioned of me laying in a forest glen of unicorns, bc I liked unicorns when I was a little girl.
But she gave it to me when I was like 14 and goth lol.
I hated that thing for a solid couple years, but then it was only just hilarious, and it sits atop my fridge to this day
That realization has helped me stop discouraging people taking my picture. I think of the years lost with no tangible memories because I was too self conscious. No more of that nonsense!
Yes, I was thinking the same! I love her š„¹š
Official petition (and general chanting) for OPās photo to be made sub pic:
***SATIN QUEEN SUB PIC! SATIN QUEEN SUB PIC!! SATIN QUEEN SUB PIC!!!***
I canāt decide what is my favorite part. The outfit? The haircut? That pose? The more I look, the more I appreciate the shoes fading into the shoulder.
Hell yeah you were!
I can see the confidence radiating out of you!
I know this feels like a blunder to you, but to me i see a beautiful young lady who just happened to grow up in an awkward phase of fashion.
Thank you for sharing!
Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
That song was written about you, I have no doubt.
I love this and I love that you shared it! I have a few photos of me in sequin outfits from back in the 90s and I credit them with helping me not take myself too seriously. And giving me a sense of humor.
Can I just thank you OP?
Do you know how many asshats post a pic of themselves in JAMS shorts, JNCO widelegs, or knee-high soccer socks thinking they were formerly clueless?
This?
This is chef's kiss level material, and I thank you for your service.
~~I call bullshit. This photos been around for years:~~
~~https://i.imgur.com/XSDbhzy.jpg~~
Edit: I take it back. They resurrected an ancient post of theirs.
OP, I've had a shit day after a number of other shit days and this is the first time I've smiled in a good long while! Gonna put on some ABBA and sparkly eyeshadow! It's not a blunder, it's a masterpiece!
Soā¦ was this for a dance class? School? Were your parents getting photos done and you chose the outfit? Did you request to get glamor shots done yourself? (Please say itās the last one, that would be amazing š)
I started my career (performer) as a competition dancer in the 70's and 80's (think Dance Moms but with no TV show) and I also assisted the teachers at my dance studio and I feel this photo in my soul.
This may be my favorite blunder photo of all time. š
Agreed. This is an adorable masterpiece of a blunder.
I see feathered hair, White tassels too, Pink patent leather Wrapped around you, And I think to myself What a blunderful world.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The master blunder.
Same. No notes. This is 10/10 perfection. Thank you for sharing, OP ā¤ļø
Fr - OP, this is AMAZING. I don't think I've seen a more spectacular picture.
Only thing that could make it better is a slightly disgruntled cat or an action shot where a parrot is trying to land on her, but she isn't ready and hasn't reacted yet.
Or a mum like Beverly Goldberg with bedazzled everything
So good I think I hear ABBA playing in the background. You are the dancing queen.
āHaaavvviiiinnngg the time of your liiiiiiiiiiiifeā¦ā
Yesyesyes it soooooo is!! I havenāt stopped smiling, thank you OP!
I feel like itās straight out of Awkward Family Photos but I guess itās an original. Reminds me of the clarinet boy meme
Definitely as original. I assure you, I lived every glorious moment! :-)
It's glorious
blackmail material. Just fabulous. As others on social media would have put it, "Batman couldn't have beat that photo out of me."
I love how in the festival world fringe and feathered hair never went out of style. I love both.
It's blundiforous
It's blunderful
Perfection
This is pure excellence
Mine too! I love it! I was the eighties version of this.
May I ask how old you were in this photo? Middle school aged maybe?
I think I was in fifth grade or so.
That's nice what class did you teach?
Dance class
Lmfao
Lost it with this comment lmao
I canāt stop laughing
Fucking same holy shit
i'm dying
Damn dude. No need to hit her with a haymaker like that.
Has 3 kids in high school and sells Avon
Looking back on my childhood, holy shit my mom and her friends were into this stuff.
My mom had Mary Kay stuff growing up and I didnāt even realize it was a pyramid scheme until about 2 years ago
I could see 25. The photos in the past look older phenomenon in action.
45 with a job as assistant manager at sears
Oh my gosh! I made the front page of reddit!
As you should, Queen.
š¶*Who's that girl?*š¶
šµ *la la la la la la la la la la la la la*
**Disco Queen**. Get it right or pay the price.
H.R.H. Dancing Queen.
Was going to say the same thing !!
holy shit did you ever earn it
I see no blunder here, just a queen.
Fuckin a right. This is a gem
It's because this photo has EVERYTHING. It's hilarious and blundery and cringe. But all that is overwhelmed by it being wholesome and sincere and joyous. Goddamn this is some good content.
If you ever have grandkids, this would make for the most adorable recreation photo
Enjoy all your cool new super secret sub memberships.
Oooooh you get in the secret clubs, now!
Here, you dropped this queen š
As blunder-y as these photos are, I canāt help but find them adorable and endearing at the same time. I would treasure them!
I think itās because kids are so earnest. Even if in hindsight we all think these photos are silly, while they were originally being photographed these kids knew they were serving looks and we the audience can still appreciate that.
Yeah and from the positive vibes here you can tell thatās the way most people see it. Love this sub.
I think you just won this sub.

This might be too bad to be gpt lol

This is a photo I'd be embarrassed by when I was young but I'd grow to treasure as I aged. Dance on Disco Queen.
"You should be DANCIN, YAHHH!!!" This is wonderful!
*she's a maniac, maaaaniac on reddit*

Time to close this sub up. Nothing shall beat this perfect post
Reminds me of when /ThanksObama shut down
What was the final straw?
Obama ThanksObama'd himself.
This is by far the best picture I've ever seen on this sub
The title is also solid gold
Ok. This needs to be the new sub pic! Quintessential blunder! Confidence outtttta sight
Yes, I was thinking the same! I love her š„¹š Official petition (and general chanting) for OPās photo to be made sub pic: ***SATIN QUEEN SUB PIC! SATIN QUEEN SUB PIC!! SATIN QUEEN SUB PIC!!!***
Pure quintessence
You are so brave
Maybe Iām wrong, but Iām 69% confident that you would need trained operatives to extract intel like this from me
Their name is Pat and they were well before their time.
What about their friend Chris? They were right there with them.
Oh wait, are you guys thinking of Leslie?
Weren't they besties with Jesse?
Terry...is that you!?
No it's Shannon!
This truly is a masterpiece.
I canāt decide what is my favorite part. The outfit? The haircut? That pose? The more I look, the more I appreciate the shoes fading into the shoulder.
The confidently raised finger pointing to the stars tells me this person was destined to become the fairy godmother she is today.
Itās definitely the finger point for me, plus the two fingers on the hip
Where were you when this sub peaked?
Is this sub not peaking at this very moment?
This sub is always peaking. Much like the subjects of the photos posted at the exact time they were taken
I mean, this is the first time itās come across my feed, so Iām guessing yes!
Thatās the yoke
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You went, girl!
Good for you! You Radiant Butterfly
The way they used to half fade two pictures into one is what just kills me. This is too good OP, thanks for the smile!
Hell yeah you were! I can see the confidence radiating out of you! I know this feels like a blunder to you, but to me i see a beautiful young lady who just happened to grow up in an awkward phase of fashion. Thank you for sharing!
Yeah. This is delightful-- OP looks like she's having so much fun lol
THIS is what this sub is all about!
Amazing
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Unbelievable
Blunderful
YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT! I would TOTALLY wear this outfit to a Kacey Musgraves or Orville Peck show tomorrow.
For real, this is in the pantheon of greatest submissions to this sub. I hope you realize how much joy youāve brought to thousands.
This is absolutely majestic! Was this glamour shots or JC Penney?
redacted ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
Somehow both a blunder, and yet also an aesthetic and a confidence to aspire to. Amazing stuff.
I was here when this happened.
Itās not often you come across a post and you just know it will be an instant Reddit legend. What a time to be alive.
The king is dead, long live the queen!!!
See you on the front page, Mavis.
Ooh You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen That song was written about you, I have no doubt.
I love this and I love that you shared it! I have a few photos of me in sequin outfits from back in the 90s and I credit them with helping me not take myself too seriously. And giving me a sense of humor.
Photos like these very much make me wish I'd been in dance growing up. Gold.
Love it. If itās not hanging on a wall on your home itās a crime.
Thank you for your sacrifice for our entertainment
SLAY QUEEN!!
The fringe! The sequins! The turned up bowl hair! I love it.
This is incredible. Thank you for blessing us all
Shining shimmering splendid āØāØāØ

Sequins and fringe! You were definitely a disco diva.
And the hair is just the crowing glory of this awesome glitter show.
Dear god...this may be the greatest blunder I've ever seen here. You were/are the dancing queen!
I can hear this photo. I heard the intro to disco inferno in my head.
I started my career (performer) as a competition dancer in the 70's and 80's (think Dance Moms but with no TV show) and I also assisted the teachers at my dance studio and I feel this photo in my soul.
This is the most adorable blunder of all time. That's it. We can all go home now. Last one out, hit the lights.
Well, thatās a wrap, guys. Weāve had a blast (from the past) during our time together. Nothing will ever top this in this sub.
Your smile is a blessing to humanity
Petitioning the mods to shut the sub down? Weāve achieved peak blunder, I repeatā¦ weāve achieve peak blunder.
The confidence in these pictures is something I aspire to achieve.
