The first photo is of Dina Lohan with baby Lindsay... Bizarre how similar Lindsay later turned out to look, and how utterly floozy-like Dina looks here. You'd think with a new baby, you'd slightly tone down the hair-dye and make-up...
Apologies to Dina Lohan for saying she didn't look "motherly" enough in that picture. From the dozens of new mothers I've been around, the general pattern seemed to be a definite "toning down," and gladly so. A chance to be real and relaxed and natural and not have to get all made up like you're up for a night on the town (a phoniness that most women have already had enough of by the time they get married and have a kid). I dunno---I saw this shot and I immediately thought only that she was all got up that way only to please her husband, Michael Lohan. Seeing a mom with her baby that decked out was somehow depressing to me. Looking at the shot, it didn't feel like what a woman would normally want to look like at that stage in her life.
