Gave me flashbacks to my prom - lavender taffeta with giant puffy sleeves and dyed to match shoes. White lace hose. As a bonus, my date and I both had braces!
Did you go to your prom? Was it a good experience?

p.s. Now I'm on a quest to find a photo of that night - I'm sure the dress is worse than I'm remembering
I have a DD now and can't wait for her to be old enough for that. I never got to do the dress shopping and really want to do it.

I had no boyfriend, so I went with a guy who was just a friend, so it was not a romantic night,but we had fun. plus it totally pissed off the junior b***h who was only dating him becsuse she wnated to got to the prom. He knew it and never asked her, though she had already bought a dress when we decided to go together.
my dress was peach- I am not girly but I love girly colors and pretty formal dresses-. It was strapless and floor length. I loved it- so did my cousin- she's the same age and unbeknowst to my mom and aunt until after the proms, we had the same dress! Had any of us known this, I'm sure they would've tried to make us share it since we did not go to the same school. I actually wore small heels, about 2 inches- a lot for me- a rarity for me, so you know I thought the occasion was special.
I had a great time. I still remember the seafood bisque we had as part of the dinner- delicious. Afterward, there was an after party and a bunch of people then ended up at IHOP.
The funniest/oddest thing about the night was that when I was getting ready at home, my sister and 3 of her friends- they were all juniors- came over to help me get ready! Then while my date took me to his house so his mom could take pictures of us, my sister and her friends went to the prom site and were there to take pictures when we arrived!
My senior prom...I went with my BFF Steve, who is probably the only guy who I can truly say I love to death but think of as only a close friend. DH was being a jerk so I didn't want to take him. My girl BFF wound up taking DH (I didn't mind) so he wound up being there anyway. This time we kept the group in the limo small....we kept it to our small group of friends. Afterwards we went into the city to a comedy club and the next morning we went camping out on eastern Long island for one night. DH also did not come to that. However, we had a blast! Def great memories...I loved every second of it...
Now I am a bitter old lady hehe ....almost 29 lol but I am def boring now...I think I need to make changes in my life and become fun again....thank you for the reminicing

that is so funny that your DH came to both of your proms, but neither as your boyfriend!!
