FLASHBACK to your PROM
 
Tonight is the prom for the school I teach at. The seniors this year were my first class ever -- my babies and I cannot wait to see some of them all gussied up and stuff.

Anyway, I was thinking back to my prom 9 years ago:( -- it was not what I wanted it to be mainly due to my date.

Did you go to your prom?
What did you wear? Colors?
Were you prom king/queen?
Did you go with someone special or friend?
What was your prom theme?
How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have :eek:ish prices?

Tell me all.:D

Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 

Did you go to your prom?

Yes I went

What did you wear? Colors?

I wore white long dress. My back was out with a criss cross tie across my back. A little bit of my sides were out as well. It was very cute. I got a lot of compliments. Even from older people. I was a bit surpised because I was showing so much skin. They said it was done tastefully and I looked elegant.

Were you prom king/queen?

I was not the queen

Did you go with someone special or friend?

He was one of my good friends

What was your prom theme?

"If Only For One Night"

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

Its only been for years and I can't really remember the details. I just know I spent a total of about $700 including the dress, hair, nails, pictures, the general prom fee, and the trip to Gurnee, Illinois to shop and go to Six Flags Great America.

1985
 
:o 17 years! Boy, do I feel old.

I went to my prom with my HS sweetheart who attended our brother school (we went to his Jr and my Sr). Since many of our classmates dated each other, we saw many of the same faces.

We wore Royal Blue and White ( :eek: ) and arrived in a white limo. Our theme was "If Only for One Night"; it was expensive because traditionally we held our prom at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel, a very old and distinguished hotel in Philly. I believe the hotel is no longer open.

Boy, those were the days...

Memorial Day Weekend 1993
 
I am loving that you 2 both had the same prom theme as I did. If Only For One Night

BTW SOROR McCoy 1985, I was in the 4th grade:eek: :p still wearing stirrups and pony tails.

I wore a turquoise dress trimmed in pearls that my mother made for me. I loved the hell out of that dress. No high school sweetheart for me. Instead I went with this lame o who could not slow dance to save his life. Keep in mind that my prom was the summer of Silk's FREAK ME and H-TOWN'S Knocking the Boots.
**I ditched him @ Cedar Point that Sunday**

Our prom was held at Landerhaven this ritzy ball room. After prom was held at the Mediterranean. That Saturday night we went to see the premeire of Menace to Society.

Our prom for a couple was $95 -- that was for prom, after prom and Cedar Point tickets for 2. My dress was made and we went in on the car with another couple.

Did you go to your prom?
Yes, I went to both my junior and senior prom, but this info is about my senior prom

What did you wear? Colors?
a red satin(with lace) floor length off the shoulder gown

Were you prom king/queen?
nope

Did you go with someone special or friend?
Just a friend. He, my best friend, and her date rented a room in the hotel along with pretty much everyone else on the same floor, so that we could have one big party and just stroll around from room to room or hang out in the hallway. Anyway, around 3am, I and my best friend were getting sleepy wanted to go lie down. Our dates said cool and then left the room to go hang up with everyone else. Anyway, I later found out that my date was accused of raping one of our classmates that night! :eek: Apparently after we and my friend went to sleep, he went to the room across the hall and raped one of our classmates that was to drunk to stop him. :eek: WOW!!! After that, I purposely lost touch with him.

What was your prom theme?
Saved the Best For Last

How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have ish prices
Well, this was in 1993 but our prom tickets were $30 I think. We had it at some building called the Cotillion. I think I might have spent about $150 on the dress.

Re: FLASHBACK to your PROM
 
Did you go to your prom?
I went to both my jr. prom and senior prom. At my high school, the junior class planned the prom and I was jr. class president, so I pretty much had to go. We also have an "After Prom" at our school, and I went to the afterprom my sophomore - senior years.

What did you wear? Colors?
I wore a red satin floor-length dress to the prom. Actually, it was a "shirt and skirt" which my mom made - the pattern I picked actually was a shirt and skirt rather than a dress, LOL. My man did the black tux, red cumberbund thang. Soror Mccoyred...oooh, I'm still laughing picturing you and your man in royal blue and white...HEE HEE!! I wore a black lace tea length dress to my jr. prom, and actually had a better time and looked better there than I did at my senior prom.

Were you prom king/queen?
No, and I was HOT about it, LOL. That year, they decided that each organization would nominate a couple for prom king/queen, and I just KNEW that since I was cheerleader captain that the cheerleaders would nominate me and my man. Those knuckleheads nominated ANOTHER COUPLE, and I was PIZZED!! I think the football team ended up nominating me and my man tho, but two TOTAL GOOBERS won. Everyone was like, HUH???

Did you go with someone special or friend?
Oh, I went with my high school sweetheart to both my jr. and senior proms. In other words, a STRAIGHT UP KNUCKLEHEAD. Trip this, two of my friends came to the senior prom without a date, so my man, being the nice (CONCEITED) guy that he is, took photos with them. And do you know that those heffa's photos came out BETTER THAN MINE?? I was, again, pizzed.

What was your prom theme?
Chalk up another point for Luther V. - "If Only For One Night" was also my prom theme. Class of 1986 - In the Mix!!!

How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have :eek:ish prices?
A prom bid (for a couple) was either $65-75 I believe, and it was held at a hotel - the LAX Hilton I believe. Someone usually has a champagne party beforehand (a la Beverly Hills 90210, remember when Donna got drunk and they weren't going to let her graduate??). Anyway, for our money, we got dinner and a champagne glass that said our school name, the theme and date and such (lawd, I probably still have those glasses somewheres...). The After Prom cost $40 a couple, and lasted from 2 - 6 am or something like that, and they served a breakfast buffet. The next day (Saturday), we'd all go to Six Flags Magic Mountain. My car broke down just as I arrived at Six Flags, and I had to bum a ride home. Again, me, pizzed.

So...I don't really have fond memories of the prom...
(but my date didn't rape anybody, YIKES!!!)

PrettyPetite 05-10-2002 09:59 PM

My prom was five years ago...class of 1997. (Senior Prom)

I didn't go to Junior Prom, but I did go to Senior Prom.

I wore a red floor length crepe satin dress. It was form fitting and the straps crisscrossed in the back. For some reason, red was the color that year. I have a picture with all the girls who wore red to the prom, and let's just say, everyone didn't fit in the picture! (I believe like, 75-100 ladies wore red out of about 200) I must admit my dress was one of the better looking dresses, because I got compliments all night. Looking back, the combination of my hairstyle and the dress and accessories really made me look like an elegant young lady. (Some of my classmates looked like they stepped out of a Luke Freakfest Video, with all the chest and backside that was showing.)
:eek:

Were you prom king/queen?
You know, at my school, we didn't do that. We had something called a Valhalla (our school mascot was the Vikings) court that was picked during Homecoming Week...that was the big thing. No one cared about the prom king/queen thing.

Did you go with someone special?
I had a boyfriend at the time, but I really didn't want him to come (he went to another school), so I didn't bring a date. Amongst my clique at the time, it was planned that we would all go solo. So, about 10-15 of us piled into a stretch limo, and did the stag thing. A lot of folx went stag at our prom.

What was your Prom Theme?
This was a Keith Sweat Prom--Make It Last Forever was the theme. The colors were Silver and White (we called it White and Dirty White, since the silver balloons and things that the committee purchased DIDN'T LOOK SILVER. :o )

How much did your prom cost?
Well my ticket was...65 dollars, but add the price of a 150-200 dress (I don't remember the exact price) plus limo...spending $$$ afterwards (we hit South Beach...we didn't have an after prom event), and an 'after prom outfit'...I know my mother (cuz I didn't have a j.o.b. :p ) spent a good 500-600 dollars. Our prom was held at the Airport Radisson in Miami, and it wasn't all that. To be honest, it was a real ghettofabulous production. My sister's prom was much better (she graduated from the same school three years after me) and her ticket was the same price.


My prom was alright. I'm glad I experienced it, but it wasn't the best night of my high school life--I had more fun at Homecoming, lol.:p

DramaQueen42401 05-10-2002 10:17 PM

I went to the prom, my senior year in high school (2000).

I wore a long, shimmering white dress with silver lines running all through it. The back was completely out, with criss cross straps that connected the neck with the sides.

The only thing I reign is the throne of drama, lol.

Initially, I was dateless, so I rode there with a friend of mine who also had no date. But, when I got there, this guy who claimed he had been admiring me for a lil while asked me to be his date! On the night of the prom :eek:! So, I figured, hey, this is my only prom, why not just accept his offer and enjoy it to the fullest?

There has to be an epidemic, b/c "If Only For One Night" was our theme too. I think schools just go from which prom favors they like best from those prom catalogs, lol.

I think the prom ticket was between $50 and $60.

All in all, prom was tight. I danced all night and didn't sweat a bit! Thank God for air conditioning, in a room filled with black folks, and Secret deoderant, shhhhhh. Lol.

Prom Report
 
Prom was cool. For the most part, my babies looked nice. I kept getting asked to dance. I finally did the Cha Cha slide.

Now let me tell y'all about the ONE outrageous outfit that we had!:eek:

One of my former students and her date wore white and orange coordinating outfits. Not bad you say??

YALL THE OUTFIT WAS ORANGE AND WHITE DUCT TAPE!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: I swear. I felt it and e'erythang.
I took pictures too. You have to have goo gobs of courage to wear that as well as tons of spare deodorant. :p

CTHU!

Maybe they couldn't afford a dress and tux, that stuff can get expensive.

Did you go to your prom?

I went to my Junior and Senior Proms. I had more fun and the junior but looked a million times better at the senior prom.

What did you wear? Colors?

I wore a strapless champaign colored gown that had a bustier top (kind-of) and just a little bit of a train. I wanted my date to have on a black tux with the shirt, tie and vest all made in the same fabric of my dress but he was too cheap to pay the seamstress to make it for him, and I dayum sure wasn't going to pay for it.

Were you prom king/queen?

No, in my high school only the people at the prom voted for the prom king and queen. Normally, not many black people went, so no black people ever won.

Did you go with someone special or friend?

At the time he was a mixture of a special someone and a friend. One of my friends calls that "a friend with privileges."

What was your prom theme?

Again, the black people in my school didn't really take part in student council. So, our ideas were normally voted down. For my junior prom, it was "A Time to Remember" and for the Senior Prom it was "Wonderful Tonight."

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

The senior was way more expensive. The tickets were only $75 for a couple but my dress was almost $300 because I had it made by a seamstress. My hair was $75. The pictures were another $65 and I didn't even like them so I never let anybody have any. We went to Six Flags the next day, so that was about another $150. And, we rented a luxury car for the weekend instead of a limo for one night so that added on another $200-$300.

I spent all of this money and we were only at the prom for about an hour and a half. I can say that we had a ball at the after prom though.

Girl please they came to prom in a JAGUAR!!!:eek:

I don't know when was the last time you priced duct tape but umm err to have enough for a dress ( full length), his suit and hat was probably the equivalent to a dress and tux. I forgot to tell you all that old boy has orange hair (for over a year) and an orange beard.

I cannot even draw a mental picture of this.

Did you go to your prom?

yes and it sucked.

What did you wear? Colors?

a long red dress. my date word a black tux w/red bowtie, etc.

Were you prom king/queen?

no

Did you go with someone special or friend?

he and i were just friends

What was your prom theme?

whatever song was popular by atlantic starr back in '90. but it wasn't secret lovers.

How much did your prom cost?

dress, tickets, shoes and all that stuff cost less than $100. i looked nice, only because my mother knew how to really stretch a dollar.

ironically, my fondest prom memory is falling down a flight of steps, dress all up in the air, heel bent, the works. embarassing yes, but funny as all get out.

crimsinqt_dst 05-14-2002 03:06 PM

Ah, Prom
 
Actually, by the time my own prom came around I was a veteran, I was fortunate enough to go to three proms prior to my own. Needless to say I sold the dresses from those events (my closet looked like a disco ball) to purchase my prom gown. I went to my prom by myself. I had my uncle's convertible Allante (I know you remember those!) and I wore a honey brown Issac Mizrahi gown which is still off tha hook, and I can still get into (okay, i'm lying now). I don't remember who the King was, but I know the Queen didn't graduate. Our theme was "Tonights the Night" (Blackstreet song).

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.

Tell me all.:D

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:

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:

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

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.

[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.

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.

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.

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

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
 
Did you go 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.

What did you wear? Colors?
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.

Were you prom king/queen?
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.

What was your prom theme?
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".

How much did your prom cost?
Between the both of us $200-$300.

PROM 2K2
 
My prom just passed!!! (C/o 2002)

I only attended my senior prom.

My dress was inspired by MISS TONI BRAXTON. I had it made and I think my dress looked BETTER than the original. Here's a picture of the original: http://www.xs4all.nl/~oslu/toni/gall...iBraxton13.jpg The dress was $375. The only difference was that I had the sides of the dress cut so that I could show off my abs of steel. :D The belly part of the dress was cut to show off my belly ring. The dress was cream instead of the original white. And i paid $88 for my shoes that I got at Ninewest.


My date: I went to the prom with my crush, now boyfriend. He didn't wear a tux he had a suit made. His suit was cream and gold and he had cream shoes.

We decided not to waste money on a limo and it would be cheaper to just take a car so we took his dad's Escalade.

No I was not prom queen, I was not nominated. :mad:

Our prom tickets were $80 a couple. And the theme was: Always and Forever.

The prom was off the hook...the after party was even better!!!

SCROLL 2 PAGE 2 :p

jll79 02-26-2003 09:39 PM

Did you go to your prom?
Yes I went to my prom which was pretty decent

What did you wear? Colors?
I had a dress made. It was a black strapless dress but the top was sheer with a high collar and sleeves and also a high split to show off the sexy legs.;) I paid only $90 for the dress and $15 for the shoes (black satin sandals with a rhinestone buckle) because it was on SALE at (what used to be) the Wild Pair.

Were you prom king/queen?
Actually we didn't have a prom king or queen because of the fear that a fight might break out.

Did you go with someone special or friend?
I went with my best friend and he was such a gentleman the whole night. He carried me to the limo when my feet started to hurt.

What was your prom theme?
The prom theme was called Still In Love...which really made no sense to me. I was pushing for Make it Last Forever because it's a cool theme for a prom and I am also a real Keith Sweat fan.

How much did your prom cost?
Tickets were $75 per person and the limo was about $110 per person (limo for 10 people).

NOWorNEVER 02-26-2003 10:57 PM

Did you go to your prom?

Yes, I went my senior year. :D

What did you wear? Colors?

I wore a teal tube type A-line dress that suited me perfectly because I'm a little bit top heavy. It came with a shawl and my mother found it at Marshalls for only $60...yes $60!!! I had to go buy my purse and shoes and have them dyed to match my dress. They actually costed more than my dress did.

Were you prom king/queen?

Nah. My homie got it (the girl in the picture beside me in the red dress). I was on the homecoming court though.

Did you go with someone special or friend?

Nah. I went with my best friend cuz my boyfriend was in his sophomore year of college and he was triiiiiipin'

What was your prom theme?

A moment in time, or an evening under the stars...something corny like that :rolleyes: My brother's last year was Mardi Gras and I was jealous cuz their theme and decorations were hot da def.

How much did your prom cost?

The tickets were like $25. We didn't rent a limo. My mother let me use her car. I went to McDonald's before the prom cuz I was low on funds :p Afterward, all my friends went to rented hotel rooms to chill. We ended up at the waffle house early in the morning. After all that, my boyfriend decided he wanted to "chill" with me :rolleyes:
