Well hello there Mr. Tuxedo!
Hair...perfect! Smile...charming!
Tara High School 1987 Senior Prom, that's where that photo came from.
Actually, that photo wasn't taken at the prom, it was one of the 438 shots snapped by my prom date's dad as we posed in front of their lovely fireplace.
As you can see, I have cropped out my date to protect the guilty.
My date to the senior prom was my best friend at the time. She and I were cut from the same mold, we both enjoy people watching and sharing social commentary with one another, so it was fun to say the least.
Not only did we go to our prom, but somehow my friend managed to procure tickets to another prom, of a school that we didn't attend, the following night. So needless to say, we were wacky kids and went to that one as well.
I got full value out of that tuxedo rental and yes, that is a floral pattern tie with cummerbund to match.
A while ago I was asked the question, if I could go back in time and tell my 18 year old self something what would it be? My answer was to keep in touch with old friends. I would also like to add to that, wear sunscreen on your nose.
Luckily, because of our 20 year high school reunion information being passed around, I've been able to get in touch with my old friend and prom date. It's been great exchanging emails with her and remembering goofy things from high school, the past couple of weeks.
I'm not sure if I want to go drop $150 bucks to rub elbows with people that were jerks to me in high school, but I will most definitely want to catch up with her and other people that were in our circle of friends back then.
DUDE! that is great that you posted that. memories!! is that red hair or is it just the pic?? now those are the photos we should be sharing with the playgroup!!

I owe you one - big time. Thanks for the crop! However, Todd B. is now wanting me to post his fireplace picutures (circa 1986) on the THS Reunion site. What do you think - do you want any of yours out there? Come on - go for it!

i went to my 20 yr. high school reunion and had a blast. and even some of the jerks weren't jerks anymore.
of course as the AHD, i spent more time chatting with some of my old classmates' wives about child rearing!

I have to say my curiousity is peaked now that I know I will be in town when the event occurs.
