Ahh, remember prom? That kick-A time of year when we all lost our minds looking for the perfect dress, shoes, purse, accessories, date, up-do, pre-prom picture-taking place, post-prom party place, etc? The horror of someone wearing the same dress, not getting a cool corsage, or having a dud for a date? It's just around the bend for a lot of teens so we thought we'd take a stroll down memory lane...

Oh. My. God. I love that you two shared your prom photos! You both look fabulous in them. Did you guys ever read Seventeen magazine? Remember how they had the Jessica McClintock ads for all the dresses around prom time?
ReplyDeleteYes! Seventeen, YM, Sassy - the prom issues were always the best. We would always flip through and do a "would you rather wear the dress on this page? or that page?" and you HAD TO CHOOSE. Oh, the horror of Jessica McClintock, Gunne Sax, etc...
DeleteYES! This is too good, ladies! I don't know what I love more...Specky ascending into heaven or Sally dancing on the clouds above the Golden Gate. Prom awesomeness. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteHappy you approve, Lani. Now, let's see YOUR prom pic ; )
