Prom 80's style...

On the radio, they were talking about Prom...

we're in full Prom Season around here...

Prom is SUCH a big deal now..

Not like it never wasnt, but the way the guys now have to ask a girl to go - so dramatic.  The more creative, the better.

Did you go to prom?

I went to 3...

One with a friend that I worked with... it was horrible... I made him bring me home at midnight.  I stood at my door at midnight & my mom opened the door & gave me the most confused look ever & said, "James, you can come in"... I said, "No, he cant... (with an eye to my mom to tell her to SHUT UP) I dont feel good" ... 

I went to another prom with my buddy Brian.  That was the most fun I've ever had a prom.  It was just relaxed & he loved to dance & Brian could make me laugh like no other person in the world anyways....

My senior prom though... oh the memories.  Friends meeting up for dinner at the priciest steak house around, lots of hairspray, lots of big dresses & big flowers... lots of DANCING! 

No - my legs arent that white... I have on white hose... & yes, my garter has feathers on it... (Do they even still do garters for prom?)



I went with this guy who loved to dance... I totally LOVED that. Most guys didnt dance. This guy DANCED! There was a local place for kids under 21 to dance... when I was there, he was there... we were dance souls that needed to dance at prom.
Here we are...


You'll have to remember that the TALL Fresh Prince - Kid N Play hair was in for guys...
and WHY do I have on white shoes?  I just posted how much I hate white shoes on me... maybe its because of this.

...80's style is definitely unique...
But I did love my dress...

So did 2 other girls... there were 3 of us in the same dress.  Most people would have been freaked out with that... not me.  I took my picture with them.  And THEY didnt have on white shoes.

But how cool is that big white bow on my back?

And did your prom have a theme?

Ours is SOOOO 80's...

"Where do we go from here" by Stacy Lattisaw & Johny Gill...

I dont even remember the song... I just remembered the chorus of it.  It was like the recurring song of our Senior Year...

& I know the song title makes you think, "where do we go from here" in the sense of where does our journey take us...

No, this song is about a couple & where do you take your relationship...

High School students are dumb in picking prom themes

But Prom memories stick around

I can tell you everything about the night... the fun, the dancing, the drama...

its a rite of passage...

And I'll leave you with a slice of 80's stupid prom theme music ... (they didnt even make a video to this song... that's how stupid this song is)



Go Male Class of 1990!!!

  1. I went to prom my senior year and realized I was okay with the fact it was the only formal I went to.

    sigh

    Glad you had a good time at two out of three of yours!

    My son, on the other hand, loved dances, and he went to many. His father and I have no idea where he got that, but it made me happy!

  2. When I went to prom in my junior year, my boyfriend and I had a terrible argument, so it was a huge bummer! Plus, he didn't like to dance. My friends were my saving grace and dragged me out on the dance floor to help me forget my troubles. Then, my senior year, I went stag with a bunch of my friends and we had the BEST TIME EVER! I could dance with whomever I wanted! I always love looking at old prom pictures...yours make me smile!

  3. I went to my junior & senior proms (1981 & 1982) - both times with girlfriends. I didn't date in high school AND I didn't really know how to dance. So we just hung out & I danced a little bit & then went home :)

    Oh man I just remembered that I went to a third prom - I was dating a high school senior when I was a sophomore in college. Best not mention that one :)

  4. I never went to prom, but oh, the memories of the prom "stuff"--dresses, who's taking who, how are people arriving for the prom, dancing, tanning beds, big hair, etc etc etc. :)

  5. LOL!! Had to laugh about that dress...so NOT like the dresses out there today, eh?

    I went to three proms as well, two with the same guy...my boyfriend...gag. The third one I asked a guy who I'd had a crush on for years only because the Mr., who I was dating at the time, refused to attend prom (the six-year age difference had something to do with that). The funny thing was that the guy who took me actually tried to kiss me, and I couldn't with me dating someone else!! Can you believe it...after all of those years of liking him from a distance? Truly my luck.
