SAVE THE DATE (and find one) FOR THE PROM!

[FONT=&quot]Save the Date (and make sure to find one) for ?The Prom,? a retro-celebration to benefit the Seaside Repertory Theatre, a non-profit organization and the only professional year-round theatre company in Northwest Florida. ?The Prom,? which has been relocated to the Lyceum Lawn in Seaside, will be held Friday, April 18th at 7pm and will offer dancing to the party tunes of Hotwire, great food by Criolla?s, a full hosted bar complete with spiked punch, and crazy fun with absolutely no silent auction! The highlight of the evening will be the crowning of ?The Prom? King and Queen! Prom-goers are encouraged to dress reminiscent of their own high school prom so that attire will span the decades, or come as a ?Chaperone? dressed in normal party wear.[/FONT] Tickets to ?The Prom? are $100 and can be purchased by calling 850.231.0733 or at www.seasiderep.org. Reserved tables for eight are also available for $1,000 and must be reserved by phone. [FONT=&quot] ?The Prom? is sponsored by Dungan-Nequette Architects and Tracery Interiors.

As of last May, wrist corsages were popular with prom-goers around here, so I expect they will be an option. And with the dresses these girls wear now, there is NOWHERE to pin a corsage--

Har! I told BB this weekend that I had the short little Mary Stuart Masterson/Phoebe Cates haircut in the 80s, but every time I went to have it cut my hairdresser would tell me, "You know, you could have some really big hair!"

Now is my chance... :clap:

So. Seriously. I just got the 1988 prom dress zipped up, which I'm pretty proud of. Unfortunately, I can't breathe and I won't be able to eat anything between now and then unless Skunky can arrange for me to store my liver somewhere else that night.

(But this dress is totally freakin' awesome!)

Me, too! I actually wore it for some '50s day thing to school when I was in the 7th grade. The crazy part is that it's 50 years old and still in really good shape. The picture didn't do it justice--it is such a pretty, girly, princess pink...

I'll bring it and you can give it a shot--it's perfect for you!

FYI, for the local girls. I have several dresses from the 80's at my moms house. If you want to come and look let me know.
Punzy has first dibs though.... :wave:

Don't get one so big and heavy that you can't raise your glass of spiked punch.:shock:

Can't wear THAT dress for a number of reasons. First of all, it was rented from a stripper, she is no longer around here. Looking for a hot pink number.

Then you need to look on E-Bay. Every great dress was a size 4. LOTS of pink.

Needless to say, I haven't found a dress yet. :bang:

What about a DATE? Bobby J says that he didn't take me to prom the first time so he isn't taking me this time either. (If I can remember I actually went to junior prom with a group that included Bobbyj's brother...maybe I will give HIM a call) ;-)

I'll be your date. ;-) I'm dateless, too.

This is the best idea ever! I can't wait. If we have to stick to the theme of our own prom...I'd have to wear one of those 80's dresses with the big bows and all. Can I just change eras to the 50's because I like those gowns the best?

What about this one??
