Prom-tastic

There are times in life when you get so bored you think, "We should throw an 80s prom at our house." That time came and went Feb. 8th when I and about 75 others took a trip down memory lane with puffy sleeves, skinny ties, and of course, ankle boots.


Words can't really describe how hilarious the night was for me. The music was fantastic, everyone got busy on the dance floor in their rad get-ups, and to top it off, one guy wore a metallic gold, turtleneck Dickie. I was unaware, up to that point, that those were ever even manufactured.

In spite of the Dickie, he didn't win prom King. That went to the Miami-vice clad Dallas Browning, who apparently spent hours at DI and Target searching for just the right ensemble. And man did it pay off. He and his Queen, Bryn Arnell, took a turn dancing in the spotlight as prom royalty.

All in all, I think everyone had a good time and went home happy with a group shot to remember the night by (compliments of Dallas Graham, prom photographer). And I think I learned a really important lesson that night: no matter how tight-fitting or black a dress it, it will never look chic (or even good) with waist ruffles.
