An Honorary Blog

In honor of all of the lucky (but hopefully not TOO lucky) highschool kids that are heading to prom this very night, I thought it would be fitting to take a little lookie back on prom way back in the 90's. I would SO go to prom right now if I hadn't read in the paper a few weeks ago that the "average couple" spends an estimated $1,300 on prom night! Whaaaa??? I guarantee that wasn't happening back in '94. I'll tell you what WAS happening: my sequins and this backdrop. Please view Magic Carpet Ride 1994, Bobby's Junior Prom.....and note the magic carpet below that looks very oriental ruggish to me.

When 1995 rolled around I still thought the sequins were a great idea, along with the updo. This year, however, I threw in the dyed shoes from Payless. Apparently I wasn't the seasoned shoe lover I am now because those are not cute in any way, shape, or form. Surely I wasn't going for comfort? How ridiculous. Bobby pretty much played it safe in the exact outfit from the year before. The tux didn't evolve much in the 90's.

Ahhh, 1996. My senior year. The year Bobby and I like to recall the unfortunate mishap with his tux (which, again, is exactly the same) and the picture prop. His coat was caught on the column behind him and increased the appearance of his derriere by at least 3 pant sizes. This is one moment when the bootie was, well, too juicy.

I just kept with tradition and rocked the sequins, updo, and dyed shoes. I also must note that I left the curling iron on the bang a little too long giving that nice "I-just-curled-my-bang-under" perfectly placed turd roll. But I do have danglies on the side that I still find nice.

Prom. I loved it. Dance hard young people.....next thing you know you'll turn around and have 4 kids, a mortgage, and sun damage from tanning for prom. Memories. I love them!
