Did you go to your prom?

Yes, both junior and senior year. My junior prom was the night before my birthday, so I went to the prom 15 and came home 16.

What did you wear? Colors?

My junior prom dress was fuchsia and black with black velvet bows that I bought off the rack at Macy*s ... as soon as I stepped off the elevator I knew I had to have it. I was still rocking the curl then and I had a tail added (I was unbeweaveable)!

Senior year I had a lavender/silver two-piece dress made. By then sistah had a perm!

I still have both dresses, and they stopped fitting a long time ago!

Were you prom king/queen?

No. Our class president won senior year. I don't remember who got it junior year.

Did you go with someone special or friend?

I went both times with really nice guys. I am still friendly with both, but now that I'm engaged I haven't been keeping in touch.

Junior year date took me to the Adam's Apple in Manhattan after the prom and we danced for a little while ("You got to show me, got to show me a little ...")

Senior year date took me to the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC after the prom -- he ordered a sundae and spilled chocolate syrup all over his tux.

What was your prom theme?

1989 -- "Nothing Is Forever but Memories Last" -- This was a compromise between "Make It Last Forever" by Keith Sweat (which the black girls wanted) and "Hold on to the Night" by Richard Marx (which the white girls wanted) (I went to a single-sex high school). We held a meeting after school to resolve it and it ended up in a tie! Thus, the prom committee created a theme using the lyrics to both songs.

1990 -- "Here and Now" (wasn't this everyone's theme?)

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

I don't recall, but not nearly what the asking prices are today.
