prom.

First, I know this is remarkably cheesey, BUT I was going through some old boxes my mom saved for me from years ago and came across three of my prom dresses from highschool. So, of course, bored and curious, I had to try one of them on to see if it still fit. And it did--with very little struggle!! Yay! I tried the horrendous "just out of the 80s" green one on that I wore Senior Year '91. I would have taken a picture and done a side-by-side comparison, but cannot seem to locate my digital camera--ah well, later...I'll get bored again.
Above: Me at the '89 prom, my sophomore year. What's going on with the hair? Yikes!
Above - Me at my Senior prom '91 in a "very dated" green sequin poofy mermaid-style dress. I tried to crop my date out best I could--dammit, what is he in the picture for anyway? Looking back, I do not know if I wish I had the foresight to choose a classic and simple black dress or if I should be happy that I chose a dress that was "of the era" that I can look back at and laugh. Anyway, I amused myself prancing around the house in it. Now where did I put the shoes?

Why oh why did I always assume you were so kool? Having seen the old prom photos...I have a lot to rethink!

Are you spelling cool with a "k"?

Ok, Digable Planets. Now I'm gonna have that song in my head for the rest of the day--thanks...that was Digable Planets, right?

Love that Digable Planets album. They should do a VH1 "Where Are They Now" special on that group.

I have to tell you, I loved that green dress SO MUCH.

I still kind of do, really.
