Prom Dresses. . . It's A Whole New World

[preciousjeni]

Oh me too!

I had really weird experiences that I very hazily remember...

Junior Prom:

I remember wearing a maroon dress that showed a lot of cleavage. But, I was supposed to be going with an old friend of mine. The night of the dance, I was waiting for him to arrive and he never did. When I called his house, his parents were horrified because they looked on the calendar and realized that they had put down the wrong weekend! LOL! So, I never got to my junior prom.

However, to make up for it, a week later (the weekend that he THOUGHT was prom weekend), he took me out and spent upwards of $200 on me. And, this was just an old friend! I didn't even really talk to him after that because we went our separate ways.

D.O.M. (Debutantes of Monroe):

This was an invitation-only social event not associated with school. To be honest, I was SHOCKED that I got an invitation because it was one of those things that all the girls in the city would hope for, so people cried when they weren't invited each year. I wore this killer purple ballgown - again, made by my mom.

Senior Prom:

Did you go to your prom?

Yes

What did you wear? Colors?

Sparkly silver dress that my mom made

Were you prom king/queen?

No

Did you go with someone special or friend?

I feel like I had a date but I CAN'T REMEMBER! Oh my gracious! I get all the dances confused.

What was your prom theme?

I have no idea.

How much did your prom cost?

I believe we just had to be current with our senior dues and it was included. The dues covered a number of senior events but it was only like $50 each semester or something like that.
