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.

And we haven't even figured in all the macho stuff the guys are going to be slapping on. In my opinion, they're ten times worse than us when it come to lookin' good, smellin' good and feelin' good!!!

Not to change the subject, but will the prom committee chime in on the musical options for the prom? DJ? Live band? Endless videos from the days when MTV really was "Music Television?"

I want to know exactly what I'll be dancing to with FFF. :lol:

JDarg, I scoured Panama City today and found some real gems. I mean some GOOD ones, of course my fat @rse and tata's would not fit in them. :lol:

If you or anyone else wants to know where these places are I will be glad to fill you in. Most of the dresses I saw were 20-30$. :clap:

Oh...FFF is ready!

Is it a dj or what?

It won't be disco.

Why 'cause your gonna show him how to disco dance? :wave:

I think she is kidding 'cause she is gonna be disco dancing with him.

Get in line, sister. I"m still wanting to know what we're eating for dinner.

MMMMMMM, me too! (the food part that is)

Criollas! BB says there's enough FFF dancing to go around...

Oh, I'm not kiddin' I always have to pass him around all night, he won't sit down. He will be glad to show you some smooth spins. :roll: with a cool snap of the fingers and point. He is actually known to do it going down the hall between patients....good thing they can't see him.

I actually had a ton of pictures from his undergraduate days, some of where he actually had trophy's of disco dance contests. Well....I did until a couple of years ago....I took a picture and had it put on a cake for his birthday.

Now...he has hid them so well (to keep them away from me) he can't find them.

I don't know about y'all, but we are getting totally pumped up for the Prom in my household. If you haven't been to the Panama City Goodwill on 23rd Street, go there and find a dress. Mine was $7.99 and I picked up one for 5thSista for $9.99. I had already ordered a beautiful mint green tux (with white pants) for Mr. Grayton Girl, but that Goodwill has a fabulous all-white double breasted tux jacket and pants for $9.99 total. Jacket is 41R, I think and pants look to be around a 33 or 34. There is also a big Goodwill on Thomas Drive (sort of across from the entrance to Bay Point), and a Salvation Army on 15th Street.

I ordered some long, white above-the-elbow gloves online from an ebay store.

My avatar is my actual Senior Prom photo (1977) and the photo is fuzzy because all I could find was the small 2x3 picture. Even so, you gotta love it, espcecially the fake stone background (and is that a shiny blue faux waterfall behind us??) Note that the dress comes all the way up to the neck. Ha! My date was dressed in the tux-color-of-the-year and his shoes are VERY white. Those were some good ole days.

Anyone know if you can still find this? It's Sand and Sable perfume. I used to love this in high school. I know, I know.....I was young...

Walgreens and cvs...maybe even Wal-Mart....it is fun to go back and smell the oldies...do you remember Babe by Faberge?
