Prom Pictures - A Challenge
On March 21, -R- challenged everyone to post their prom pictures on their blogs, if they dared. Partly because I took a surprise trip to Finland, and partly because I couldn't find the CD with the scanner software (I'm hopeless!), I am very late in finally producing the said prom pictures. The first pic was taken before our winter semi-formal, and I included it just to show you my "high hair" days (Oi!). The second is the official prom picture, where the hairdresser gave me a severe updo with bangs teased out to here. I had seen this dress, which reminded me of Cinderella... and, well, as humiliating as this getup looks now, I felt like a princess, heheheh.

Oh, that's so cute! Your prom picture looks absolutely timeless. (Maybe it's the Cinderella dress?)
These pictures are so nostalgic that I almost burst into tears. You both look just awsome.
You look really nice in both pictures - there's nothing humiliating about them.
What we had was not called a 'Prom', but we did have something similar. I remember I had my period on and I was reluctant going in the first place. Later on I still went to the event. As far as I remember, I did not have anything special clothing on. None of us had, btw. We just got dressed up a bit, but never near as nice as you for example.
Oh, you had the gorgeous red hair back then, too! Is that your natural color? Anyway, I agree--these aren't terribly embarrassing. Love the random brick pillar of carnations in the second one, though. ;-)
aren't those gerberas?
oh, no, the big version suggest me Chrysanthemums.
hm?
anyway they are nice.
You guys are too kind, thanks :) Yeah, it's funny how they stick a random column with a huge bush of flowers on, like "these are nice, they go great with the fake sky!"
There's nothing wrong with big hair. That was totally hot back then. If it was big enough that you had to be wary of ceiling fans and low door frames, you knew you were doing something right.
Hell, I even had the 90210 sculpted-Brandon-Walsh hair style. It was totally rad. Until it rained. And then the liquefied hair spray would run into my eyes and cause temporary blindness.
OMG Mark, now there's a "True Confession" if I ever heard one. You do know what this means, right? WE DEMAND PROOF!!!
Yeah, getting caught in rain with hairspray... for me it's not even the eyes that's the worst, but when it gets in your mouth, that horrible chemical-waste taste, ugh!
That's exactly reason #25798463 for NOT wearing ANY chemicals on your otherwise natural body.
allright, allright, I'm just being extra-green again...
Heheh, tell them SF (^_^)
I'll consider it. You have to understand, your pictures are not embarrassing in the slightest. Mine on the other hand...
Some things are better left dead and buried, my hairstyle in the late 80's and early 90's chief among them.
Heheh.
*clucking noises*
*chicken walk*
*more clucking noises*
Oh, joyous kids, you both!
*practicing a word*
:-P
Okay, this is gonna sound so fake, but my damn scanner broke. I swear. Promise. If you were here, I'd even pinky swear, that's how serious I am.
As soon as I get a new one, I'll scan in two pictures: 1) The Brandon Walsh-Mark; 2) The rebellious, grunge-inspired Mark with hair down to the middle of his back.
Give me a week, and hilarity will ensue.
Okay, since through our association you have struck me as a man of honor, and far from a coward, I will take you at your word. I hope your scanner either a) heals up or b) enjoys itself at the farm up-state :)
I enjoyed the monkey-picture in the meantime. Now that was a joy-inducing picture, if I ever saw one... you both looked like you were having a blast!
