Do you remember?

The theme to your senior prom?  Mine was After All, by Al Jarreau.  It was special because it was the first theme song in the history of my school (since the late 1960's) by an artist of color.

My prom was in May of 1986 and though this is obviously not my prom picture, it is from the same year.  Some of you have seen that picture and I'll post it when I get home.  Until then, laughs are on me.

  4. I remember the classes before ours were Make it Last forever and the Secret Garden... but I didn't go to mine so hell if I know! LOL Junior prom (My date went into the service in APRIL!) so my best friend and I got dressed up and went out (her boyfriend was in bootcamp) so we military girlfriends just went solo... All everyone did was make fun of people's prom dresses anyway...
    Senior prom- My boyfriend couldn't afford a tux and I didn't want to go without him, and my best friend's boyfriend was in the military, so guess who went out AGAIN with the best friend? LOL

  5. dang, ya'll didnt go to prom...?

    i dont blame you!

    i wish i hadnta went to mine. dont recall the theme (yerp, it was THAT boring), my date was my abusive bf at the time (he wasnt even my baby's daddy) and all he was concerned about was taking pix and gettin to the hotel afterwards. only thing good about it was the pretty blue formal suit my auntie bought for me. it was a royal blue strapless cocktail dress with a matching bolero jacket. he ruined the pix we took becuz he grabbed my ass and my mom threw them away. baby daddy was too busy courtin his new baby momma to go with me, so i got stuck with the abuser. i've been trying to forget it ever since...
