I had a pair dyed black my senior year, just because I wanted the satiny look to go with my dress. I’d forgotten the cool pantyhose!! ---

> [@Redfrost](#): > > **Freyr** you married your twin brother?!? 😛 _sigh_ I’m hearing this from _waaaaa_ too many people, I’m beginning to believe it myself. I wonder if there’s some secret cabal from the Double Mint gum company who engineered our meeting so that they can secretly use us for free advertising. No, Dean (my partner) is not related to me in any way. If you look at the wedding party photo, you can see his genetic brother, David, on the far left in the bottom row. ---

> [@Cowgirl\_Jules](#): > > [Junior Prom](http://www.flickr.com/photos/cowgirljules/510189583/in/set-72157600237346989/), 1986. Obviously a parent photo. I don’t have most of my pictures from that era, but this was in an album of my grandfather’s that was given to me after he died. I stole [Cowboy Jule’s dress](http://gloriana.myphotoalbum.com/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album09&id=prom_1986)! My junior prom, also in 1986 with my high school boyfriend, David. I believe the theme was “A Night in Paris” - check out that hair! It’s HUGE! ---

> [@Glory](#): > > I stole [Cowboy Jule’s dress](http://gloriana.myphotoalbum.com/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album09&id=prom_1986)! That’s hilarious! My hair wasn’t huge; what it was was plastered. I’d never used so much hairspray in my life. That hair didn’t _move_! ---

You look like Miss Scarlet, and I mean that in a good way. You…are the female, right? If not, your date looks like Miss Scarlet and I’ll go away into a hidey-hole for the next couple days. I think I must have the most recent prom picture here, but I want to share it just because I like it. Neener. [2003 Prom](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v15/atarus/Album%202/proma.jpg?t=1223530537). One of my friends that night came up to me and commented that I looked like “Neon Jesus.” ---

> [@WhyNot](#): > > [Parent pic here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/9460062@N07/2919043512/) > (And yes, that my babydaddy.) If he was half as good looking IRL as he was in that picture, **WhyNot** , I can see why he was your babydaddy! Anyway, [here’s mine from 1980](http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z300/romansperson/prom1980.jpg). Kind of sad, actually - I heard a couple years ago through the grapevine that the guy in the photo has multiple sclerosis and is in a wheelchair now. He’s 45 now.
