I didn't realize that ordinary people could rent fire trucks? :eek: :confused:

I graduated from high school in the late 90s, right on the beginning of the half-naked wave, but some of these pics on here are just out of hand!!

I had a great time at my prom. I went with a good friend of mine because my boyfriend and I had a falling out. He was there though, with some uuuuggggllllyyy girl :eek: :eek: , but he looked nice. :)

My dress was wine colored, like burgundy, sleeveless, long.

Our theme was something like Until we meet again.

I was the prom queen :D

Tickets were $65/person.

Is that a student or the girl in pink's mom

Re: Re: These are almost boring compared to the others
 

And she has a vague resemblance to Sarah Jessica Parker, IMO.
:eek:

Re: Re: These are almost boring compared to the others
 

Oh...I thought the person in the black was a GUY.

Ok, this is going from bad to worse. She's a mom, a not so cute celeb (although I think SJP is fab), and a drag queen?

Ok, confused???

As long as it's not her "partner" which is what I thought. Then I thought "mom" because they sort of look alike.

Whew - a golden oldie thread!
 

Ladies -

I just happened to stumble across this thread and it made me realize something: "I am officially an "old f*rt." (I have now become one of the adults that we used to complain about back in high school!)

While I readily admit that I graduated high-school in 1978 :eek:, some of the prom gear on this thread is unbeliveable!

Lawd have mercy!

Well see, I thought it was a dude because the hair looks fake...kinda like a mop/wig.

Re: Whew - a golden oldie thread!
 

I turned 3 in 1978. :D

Re: Re: Whew - a golden oldie thread!
 

I wasn't born yet.

So there :p

Re: Re: Whew - a golden oldie thread!
 

Now see -- ain't nobody asked you all of that! :p

Re: Re: Re: Whew - a golden oldie thread!
 

I needed help in putting it in BETTA PERSPECTIVE. :p

Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 

Did you go to your prom?
I did NOT go to my High School prom... but my HBCU is having one so I may go to it. I haven't decided yet, even though I told SGA I would buy a ticket just to support the event.

What did you wear? Colors?
But I looked nice on Prom Night because I went to the dinner date with a few of my friends. We ate at Lucky 32's and I had this nice olive/sand color suit with a light brown collarless shirt. I couldn't find the shoes or the hat to match though.

Were you prom king/queen?
No

Did you go with someone special or friend?
I was supposed to meet a special friend so we could hook up for a nice date during the prom but I won't get into all that.

What was your prom theme?
Make It Last Forever

How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have :eek:ish prices?
I think individuals were $35 and couples were $50. They weren't that expensive... be we had a large Junior and Senior class.

Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 

You know, I never responded to this thread and I think it's about time that I do, only I will add the Air Force Jr. ROTC Military Balls I attended b/c for me it functioned like a quasi-miliary prom:

Frankly I liked the military balls MUCH better than my senior prom, plus my date (the future Delta) was FINE and off the hook. I remember we were in the dance contest and that year ('90) we had a live band and vocalist (Flight One) were all that. We lost the dance contest that year and my date was pissed off royally for that. But I had a GREAT time.

My '91 military ball I was rather moody (and it showed in the pix and on the video), so I didn't have as good of a time. But the dance contest (this time we had a DJ), they played two preliminary songs (one fast and one slow), which were "The Humpty Dance" and "Sexual Healing". My partner and I were in the finals, the song of which was "Atomic Dog". Kinda ironic now considering one of my favorite rap songs consists of a hybrid mix of the two aforementioned fast songs (Pistolgrip Pump).

The senior prom I frankly would rather forget about. All I remember was that my date was one of those platonic "I like you as a friend/like my brother" types. All I remember was that at the end of the evening I was tired, frustrated, and horny (she wouldn't even give me a good night kiss to top off the evening). Oh, and we got to the prom in her Cadillac--Cadillac Cimarron, that is, for those who remember. I still have all my prom souvenirs, though, and I will keep those (a wine glass, a napkin with the theme written on it, a program, a "ribbon" with the senior class officers and class theme on it with a few lyrics to "Love Takes Time", and a "Class of '91" button.

I was kinda turned off to proms after that.

Pix will be posted upon request.
