Okay, I'll dig up one of mine too. Orchid, your post made me think of something I hadn't thought of when I posted this. I work in a 180-bed nursing/rehab facility. Twice, we have had an event for the residents that has been one of the most enjoyable for them. A Prom Night. When we do this, we decorate our big activity room, hire a 3 piece jazz band with a singer, have little pastries and punch and some of the staff (like me) who are not usually at events go to it. A local tuxedo store donates the use of tuxedos for the men and family members bing in and donate gowns for the women. They get dressed up, do their hair and make-up. To see them enjoying it is heart-warming. Who knows the memories it conjurs up? The ones who can, dance. We even vote on a King and Queen and her court. If I could post a picture I would, but I can't post any pictures that a resident is in and I think they must be in all I have. So, Orchid, it never is too late.

Louisa,
I just went to your luvs2write.com link. I've been told I look like Susan Lucci; I don't see it myself. Not because of that, but I'm a big fan of hers. And I love Disney! I've never seen so much creativity as the Disney people develop.
It truly amazes me! My senior prom gown was white and strapless and the top had sequins. It had a full skirt, with a lacy overlay and a puffy petticoat. I think the length was mid-calf.
That was fun!!!

I found my pictures!!! Yahoo!!! I couldn't decide which one to post...so you can see four of them when you click on the link. Before you do that, I want to tell you a little background story.

My prom night 1967...

My date was a good friend, Tony. He jumped in to take me out because my “real “ boyfriend was not accepted by my parents. That is actually a long sad story, in which I still wonder sometimes if they had accepted my big love at that time, how my life would have been.

I have learned though, from my parents mistake, (which meanwhile my mother has admitted, and I have forgiven her). And that is, I made a point of accepting every girl friend, fiancé and or wife of my sons with an open heart. That kind of heartbreak I would never ever do to my own children.

But I’m getting off the subject...

Tony, didn’t have a date either. So we spent the night dancing away. It was still a fun time. Lots of laughter and being with friends. I’m so grateful to Tony for having made it possible for me.

Hopefully I'm not the only one posting pictures here! Can't wait to see yours!

I remember mine for sure. I dated a guy named Bo and he was so cute, in my opinion. AnyHOO, I had my hair done that day and it was in one of those behive things. I got home and hated it. I washed it out and did my own hair.

My dress was a white something or other, with a lace overlay, an empire waist and one turquoise band around the midrif. I loved that dress. It was simple. Wish I still had it. No...I wish I thought I could fit into it.

I'm like LJ, I'm going to find the pic and post it, if I can.

since I started this, I will be the first to post a photo. I have one standing up, but it's not clear. I'll try that one too.

With my Gypsy Rose Lee Gloves I didn't know how to make it smaller. Check out the tv in the background.

Hannelore beat me to it. How sweet those pictures are, Hannelore! This is fun. Did we have the same bunny fur?
Jabber, try my blog if you like Susan Lucci and Disney. There is a disney slide show of my recent Nov. trip and she's on it.

We did not have proms. Nearest was watching the Fonz.I truly believe this must have been a magical time for everyone.Mothers having fun and Fathers seeing such beautiful daughters.
Keep posting everyone I am enjoying this post.

Oh you guys!!!!! Hannelore and Louisa, how that took me back (even though they were your pics!!) Both so sweet and beautiful....what a time of life it was and such beautiful pictures...oh gosh, I'll get mine when I can locate them in this disrupted time of life!
