Are You Brave Enough to Share Your Prom Photos?

[Hemingway Jones]

Come on everyone, dig your Prom Photos out, and the older the better.

Let's have some fun with this.

It would be great to see our members in their first formal outing.

I'll dig mine out when I get home.

I couldn't begin to know where mine are.

ok this picture of a picture is really bad but anyway so is my 'do, thanks to very hot and humid weather! lol

 

[Hondo]

How I Envy you all, never went to one :cry:

 

[LolitaHaze]

Jr, Senior, and even the year after I gratuated.

I have the best prom photos ever!! I will have to rescan them and share. :eusa_clap

 

[Paisley]

Never went to one, either. Never wanted to, actually.

Never went, and I don't think we even had one: at the time, our urban school district was flat broke and it was 1973 - the countercultural movement at its most pervasive. A prom just seemed like a hopelessly backwards and unhip idea, even to relatively unhip types.

 

[Shimmy Sally]

I went to multiple proms. You asked for it. I dressed vintage for all of them. I'll have to ask around for the dreaded video footage.

May 1965. Though I was a sophomore, one of my friends' brother who was a senior asked me out because he was in-between girls lol and knew I was going back to Japan that summer, so he was kind enough to give me something to remember about. The program is in my scrap book, but I have no idea where the formal portrait we had taken is.:eusa_doh:
In lieu of that. We don't have proms here, unless one attends an international school, instead, we have a graduation testimonial party.

1974, all the girls in my med school class.

Come to think of it, we only had 4 girls in our whole school, so there wasn't a prom, other kids with $$$ got to go in other near by schools, and the rest? We just went out and partied

Of course I am brave enough---I didn't even go.

 

[Hemingway Jones]

The photos so far are wonderful! Everyone looks great. :eusa_clap

Mine are embarassing. In one of mine, I am wearing the "Miami Vice" Tuxedo, no lie. I cannot wait to share.

Now, if you didn't go to the Prom, perhaps you went to some sort of other early formal event? A wedding? A Frank Sinatra concert? (It was formal in my neighborhood. )

At age 17, no. At age 18, I was in the Air Force by then. Being in the drum and bugle corps in basic training, I attended many formal gigs, none of them very festive, I'm afraid.

Same here. My group was too cool for school.

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

Oh heck yeah I have to find them! In one, my hair is a mess - I had it blown straight but it rained In the other I look...well, it's not the best picture but at least my date was cute.

Thank you.
One of the girls is wearing a kimono she designed and dyed herself. She has an aunt who designs and dyes kimonos as a hobby, and she made hers under her aunt's instructions. It's the girl squatting in the middle.
Here's her bridal pic, a couple of months after our graduation.
Her kimono was a gift from the aunt, designed and dyed by her. The pic does no justice, it was a truly gorgeous kimono, one of a kind.
