Re: Ah, Prom
 

LMAO!!! Now, you know you need to quit!!!!

My places and prices are the same as CT4's except I went in '92. I was in a cotillion that year, so I got my cotillion dress altered for my prom dress. So, I wore a long, white dress. Crimsinqt, I couldn't get my THIGH into my dress!!! Don't feel bad! :) I went to two proms that year, both with my good friend, who soon became my boyfriend. I don't remember the theme... Maybe It's So Hard To Say Goodbye? I'ma hafta look at my stuff when I get home. No, I wasn't queen.

Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 

I get to test my memory. Let's see... WAY back in 1989, I went to my prom, and it was terrible.

-Did you go to your prom?
Fortunately, I did. Unfortunately, with the wrong person.

-What did you wear? Colors?
Black and silver. To make my prom worse, I had the same dress on as another girl. I walked in the door, and the girl was standing there. We looked at each other, with our mouths hanging open, and people were laughing so hard. It was so embarassing. But, as the night went on, I forgot about her. Besides... I looked better in my dress, anyway. :D

-Were you prom king/queen?
No. And I can't remember who was.

-Did you go with someone special or friend?
Heck no! The guy was my boyfriend at the time. But he was a true thug. He was acting so thuggish, ruggish, it was ridiculous. Yall, he didn't even get a car for us to go to the prom in. I had to call my friend, at the last minute, and ask if we could ride with them. Just another embarassing moment to add to this horrible night.

-What was your prom theme?
I can't remember. Too long ago.

How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have :eek:ish prices?
I think it was $20 dollars. Oh heck, I can't remember... it was too long ago.

Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 

Now, I cannot remember all of this, it was back in 1990:
my dress was Peach. The style back then was where the front of the dress stopped at your knee or above and the back of the dress went to the floor or right above it. THAT WAS THE STYLE. LMAO

king/queen: can't remember

date: my "special friend" Moses (lmao) until I left for college

theme: cannot remember

cost: we didn't have to pay, the Junior class paid for our prom. I DO remember that.

what about the after set?
we (groups of us) went to the riverfront (levee), rode around town :rolleyes:
returned home around 4 am :eek:

Re: Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 

This is like the ultimate PROM NIGHTMARE. But at least you looked better kissy324, LOL.

At my school, there were these two girls - one who was like the school hoochie-mama who always wore the most revealing and crazy outfits ever. Then there was this girl who always dressed badly. Back then, someone who dressed out of style, we called them "SKLAH" (it's pronounced just like it's spelled, to rhyme with "fa la la la la"). Sklah. This girl was straight up sklah. We also call/called that "boogie". Ol' girl was sklah AND boogie. And if something was really really bad, we called it "sklah-vega". Why or where this came from, I have no idea.

Anyway...everyone was wondering what is hoochie mama going to wear to the prom, and what is that sklah-vega chick going to wear to the prom. They came in the same dress. It was hilarious. The hoochie chick was embarrassed, but the sklah chick was almost proud that she had on the same dress as hoochie mama, who dressed hoochie, but stylishly...

All of y'all youngins talkin' about "I can't remember, it was all the way back in 1989, 1990" are tripping....

Youngins...(scowling) :o :mad: :rolleyes: :eek:

Re: Re: Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 

Oh geez...after my intial :confused: wore off about the sklah thing (and sklah vega even) this post is a riot! LOL :D But I tried to say sklah aloud. It is hard. When I say it, it's like 3 syllables...sk-uh-lah...maybe I am just too Southern? :confused:

Re: Re: Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 

I CANNOT remember. Seriously. I do remember the decorations had these blue clouds with the our names and our dates name on each cloud taped on the wall. The clouds were outlined with silver glitter. I still have that it's in my memory book. :eek:

I guess the colors of the prom were Blue and Silver...:confused:

I do not remember WHERE it was held. lmao

Alot has happened since 1990. :D

1985
 

Did you go to your prom?

Yes, both Jr and Sr

What did you wear? Colors?

Jr prom was black and red and Sr was pink and white.
Both of my dresses (which I still have!) were tea length. Both were made by Jessica McClintock--the Gunne Sak line.

Were you prom king/queen?

Thank GOD no...

Did you go with someone special or friend?

Well, Jr prom I went with my crush, who I found out later had 2 kids by 2 different women. :eek: We had a great time though.:)

My Sr prom, the guy(different guy) was a jerk. :mad: He lied about the limo, lied about how much money he had for pictures, dissappeared when we got there to hang out with some of his friends. But I got him back. There was thisREALLY CUTE guy I had a HUGE crush on--a sophmore whose girlfriend was in my Sr class--asked me to dance during the prom. Mind you, my "crush" knew I liked him and we were on the track team together. He was so sweet. He saw me sitting by myself and while his girlfriend was gone chatting with her friends, he asked me to dance. We danced for 4 songs! :) It seemed like forever. I was floating for the rest of the night. If it wasnt for that, my sr prom would have really sucked.

What was your prom theme?

1984--Jr. was Love Me In A Special Way
1985--Sr--I can't remember


How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have ish prices?

Geeze...in the neighborhood of 65 for a couple for Sr. and I think 30-45 for the Jr.

1990
 

[B]Did you go to your prom?

yup.. sr year

What did you wear? Colors?

fuchia and black.. and i too had a twin. And as far as i'm concerned we both looked a hot mess. But my hair was tight... bob/a-symmetric do.. wid a splash of hardcurls.

Were you prom king/queen?

nope

Did you go with someone special or friend?

now.. i'm glad you asked about my date. That freaking loser. For starters he showed up more than 2 hrs late... it was dark outside when we got to the prom site(summer time so he was late as h*ll). I had missed dinner.. basically i had enough time to take pictures and go home. then he had a nerve to say.. "oh i thought we would stay at the hotel tonight..." yeah WHATEVER!!! 1. we weren't boy/girlfriend 2. you shoulda thought about that when your azz was at the barbershop all late and wrong instead of at my house ON TIME.

But how about i saw him about 2 years ago leaving a club with my gurl. He got married had 2 or 3 kids... and had been divorced for at least 3 years. What type of madness is that... !??!?! Mind you my prom was only in 1990. Then had a nerve to say... (in my dude voice of course) "um, i see you still got those hips..." I kindly asked him to take 3 steps back and 1 step to his left... and rolled out!!!


What was your prom theme?

If only for one night


How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have ish prices?

h*lla expensive for 15 mins that i was there... $95.

Re: 1990
 

ROTFLMAO!!!


ok, i guess I'll answer....

Went to my prom Sr. year. My dress was white, there was no prom king (all girl school) nor was there a queen. I went with this dude I used to like in the 8th grade. I swear that had to be the most BORING event I've ever been to. I think the theme was "Wonderful Tonight" I honestly don't know. I don't know how much I spent on it either. It was a non-event for me.

Re: 1985
 

LMAO...That's back in the day with my sister's proms (84/85). I remember she had those big "fluffy" dresses that looked like the Southern plantation antebellum time. :eek: :eek: :o

Re: Re: Re: Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 

LOL! It is a hard word to say.

It sounds like this - ssss-klah. Like, the hissing sound of the letter "s", with "klah" afterwards. Sklah. Only one syllable.

And can't you just picture someone or something, looking all crazy, and saying, "Now that's SKLAH." The word really fits sometimes.

Feel free to add it to your local slang dictionaries, LOL.

Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM

May 8th, 1993
Yes and I had a horrible time. I did not want to go in the first place but my mom made me go because my boyfriend really wanted to go.

I wore a black knee length chiffon and silk dress with those flared sleeves and flared out bottom. It was cute and cheap because I borrowed it from my cousin. My date wore a standard black tux.

no but my future maid of honor was voted prom queen and a really good friend of ours was also made prom king.

Did you go with someone special or friend?
I went with my highschool sweetheart who is now my husband of almost seven years. We almost broke up that night. That was the worst date we ever had.

Enchanted Forrest ("WE" had nothing to do with that mess) They decorated our gym to look like a huge "Enchanted Forrest" - I mean from trees, vines to forrest "sounds".
