Famous Family Proms :)

While writing/whining about Sierra's prom dress (see posting below)

I got thinking about other proms, proms of the past.

I decided to find the pictures I have of proms

gone by. If the pictures are a little bit blurry

(okay so a lot of blurriness)

It's because I took photos of them with my

handy camera. No scanning here people, I'm

just a novice at this stuff. But you'll get the picture. :)

This is Eddie and his buddy Robert (Rob to his friends)

ready for their Junior Prom- circa 1974.

Look how handsome, hubba hubba.

In a bit I'll show you Eddie and his date.

This is Brad and his first prom, first date, only a sophmore,

barely 16.

His date Amber was a few days shy of 16, but got

special permission from dad Lew to go. Notice Brads

hair, the style then, shaved underneath :) 1995

This was the only prom picture I could find of Tommy,

it was a group picture, I just cut it down. Too bad kids

don't give their mom's the pictures from prom- then we'd

know where they are :) Tom went with Sara. He looks very

handsome :) 2006

Here we have Kira with Andrew. He sure looks

serious :( Kira looks stunning :) I made her dress-

We were going through a "Lord of the Rings" period.

weird that Sierra is now dating Andrew's little bro.

2003

Lisa's Junior prom. She went with some guy-

I don't remember his name, I do remember their group

rented out the old Grove theater and watched a movie

after prom there. She wasn't so impressed with him.

But she looked gorgeous! I made her dress too.

Do I hint a bit of Mallory in her face???

1998

Oops, Brad again:) Well his hair is worth another look :)

Brad and Kelly before Senior prom. He looks a lot more

confident, eh? Sporting a kilt and all. Yes, his mother

was still proud of him, at least it's modest :) We had

to find.... I wish I could remember.... 11 or 13 kilts

for he and ALL his friends to wear. Believe it or not

Brad won Prom King this year in this outfit :)

Must have been his hunky legs :)

1997

I know you've been waiting- here's Eddie with his date-

Lola.

They look like babies.

1974

I've saved the best for last-

Eddie and I ready for my Senior prom.

12 sets of professionally done photos didn't turn

out that year- ours was one of them. I remember being so

sad. I'm grateful Eddie's mom took this one so we'd have

something to remember. I didn't make this dress, I did

make the dress for my Junior prom, but I didn't really like

the guy I went with, so I didn't post it (sorry Carlos, I'm

sure you're a nice person:) LOVE the color of Eddie's tux-

it was very far out in the day.

1976

That's my walk down prom memory lane :)

Thanks for coming!

and if you're mad that I posted your old prom pics-

don't leave your pictures at my house. xoxoxoxo

Procrastination Queen

Why is it whenever I have something that really needs to be done now- like it should have been done yesterday- I find a million other things to do before I get serious and finish the pressing project? Such as- I need to read all my favorite blogs.... and comment on them. I need to check on all my friends on FB and comment on them, or at least hit the "like" button. Instead of just having cold cereal this morning, I really needed to cook oatmeal (and not the instant kind either) oh and wait, I think I'll make some toast too, good idea!

Prom is Saturday. The dress is not done. It is not even half way done. I hate the dress. It is mocking me. I've never had such a devil of a time sewing anything. So the dress (what is done of it) hangs on a dress form in my basement waiting for me. Every time I pass it (which I have to do each time I go to my bedroom) it laughs at me and calls me names, "hey stupid", "hey procrastinating queen" "hey good looking" (ok it's never really said that last one, but I wish it did) So today is the day I HAVE to get it done. Right after I eat my oatmeal. and toast. and I take a shower. Then I'm getting it done. But first I'll find a good show on TV to watch. like Lost or ANTM. At least I know I'm the queen.

It's how much!?!

DD Tink and her BF went to the mall to try on PrOm DrEsSeS! They looked so darn cute in them. This was Tink's favorite dress, and mine too, until we looked at the price tag. For $400 it could be yours. Tink's favorite part of the dress is the back. That's a little weird isn't it?

Look how sweet and angelic they look. $8oo bucks standing there.

We're going to try our hand at sewing our own dress. After a trip to JoAnn's to get the fabric, we are ready to make our own super-de-dooper prom dress. wish me luck.
