Oh Those High School Dances! Blog Hop
 |
| Junior Prom |
Kelley Lynn at Between the Bookends and Emily R. King are hosting an “Oh, Those High School Dances! Blog Hop” today.
People are sharing photos and stories from high school dances.
I thought I would put a 2012 spin on my 1988 junior high school prom.
Here’s a tweet, if there had been Twitter back then:
Prom date works at flower shop. Can you tell? Dancing night away w/ #friend @BrotherWaylon #verycasual #havingfun
I attended Junior Prom with a friend I met at an FBLA camp — that’s Future Business Leaders of America. Oh, I had so much fun traveling around the state of Georgia attending competitions, camps and conferences in high school. It was a great way to get out of the comfort bubble of my small hometown and meet new people. I met my friend and future prom date Brother Waylon (I can’t remember why we called him Brother. I did live in the South).
If you need a dose of high school inspiration or maybe a giggle at our outfits, visit the other blogs on the hop.
This brings back memories! Love the tweet–those flowers are something. 😉
They were Dana.
What a fun idea! I’d have to do some serious digging to find any of my prom photos!
Karen, I ran across this during my search for A to Z photos. I was just lucky I found one.
This whole prom things is such a foreign concept to a European, as is the big graduation thing in high school, but sure am enjoying these blog memories today.
Joanna, It makes for funny teen movies here in the U.S.
The flowers were a nice touch! And you guys look great. Love the tweet!
Thanks Danielle.
Those flowers are pretty cool. And I love the balloon rainbow. 🙂
Ilima, The balloon rainbow/arch things were all the rage.
The pearl necklace adds a nice touch. Ha! And look at all those balloons. Nice!
Emily, yes fake pearls are always classy.
Love that twitter post, and those balloons – so 80s . . .I remember.
Tyrean, I wonder what they do for present day proms!
I was going to mention the flowers but you beat me to the punch (and did it so much better than me as well. that tweet was made of awesomeness)
I also love that you called your date Brother. I hope that wasn’t too awkward 😉
Shelly, Proms are intended for awkwardness. 🙂
THis blog fest is kind of fun. I like peeking into people’s lives.
Yes Michael. It is.
I think we had the same balloon back drop! You look adorable!
Thanks Johanna. You are too kind.
Love the flower and the pretend tweet. ;0)
Jenny, I thought a tweet might make for a shorter post, but I still rattled on.
The pretend tweet is priceless! I’m sure that’s how its done now 🙂 haha
And I love that… ‘not sure why we called him Brother’ haha
Kelley, When you get old like me, you tend to forget some of those details.
LOVE the tweet! I will admit I noticed the hair first and the freaking long flower second 🙂
Angela, I was trying to ignore the hair issue ….
haha the tweet is funny.
looking back if fun! my kids laugh so much at the styles!!
I am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
I enjoyed wearing black way back then, too.
That is a flower, all right. 🙂
Yes. Lara. Yes it is.
Love the photo — can’t believe you graduated in 1988 — 19 yrs after me. I never went to a prom.
Patricia, I actually graduated in 1989. This was from my junior prom. 🙂 I would have survived without the prom experience.
Your dress is so tame for the 80’s…way to go classic!
Elizabeth, Thanks. It was different from many of my classmates dresses.
Lovely 80s number, but yeah, it’s not that freaky. haha
Trisha, Thanks.
HA! This is great! And your tweet just set the tone perfectly! I love the flower though. It’s pretty, but might make dancing a little difficult! 🙂
Leigh, I’m sure I left it in the car after the pictures.
Great photo, Stacy!!
Thanks Candylynn
I am so bummed I missed that blog hop because boy do I have some GREAT pictures! 🙂
You look adorable and I love the faux tweet. 🙂
That is a ginormous thing of flowers! lol
