My Dad has been going through all of his old slides and just sent me two pictures of what must be one of my senior proms (I went to all girls school so I went to my prom as well as my boyfriend’s).

I don’t think this was mine because I’m wearing my junior year prom dress (I did buy something new for my own) and my hair desperately needs a cut (I totally remember that – not getting around to it in time for the first prom that year).

This just screams DC catholic school to me. I look like I’m on my way to some cocktail party and not a high school dance. I have no funny pictures of over the top dance dresses or big bangs…but I must say – I did a fantastic job with the hairspray that night. My bangs are actually catching a tiny bit of air (back then I always resented how my hair refused to do anything but lie flat).

Anyway – in honor of prom season AND my 20th high school reunion last weekend (Visi ’90 baby!) there is my very unexciting blast from the past. A least I wore big earrings.
