Beautiful!<br /><br />I had my prom dress made - a red brocade halter style dress. I pretty much made my mom's life a living hell looking for a dress, and when I deemed it IMPOSSIBLE to find one worthy of my senior prom, she enlisted a talented friend to make one for me. Good gawd, I'm in for it if I have daughter someday...<br /><br />And to make matters worse, I was prom queen (something I RARELY tell people, it's so embarrassing) and when my "king" and I entered the dance floor to dance our royal dance, they played, "Lady In Red." Que the BARFING. <br /><br />...and now I shall go die for admitting all of this.AmyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316872759420805485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-85885412443696278122010-01-26T11:55:12.415-08:002010-01-26T11:55:12.415-08:00Just sent mine.

And the...Hi Kristy,<br />Thanks for sending the picture.<br />And the flashback is awesome.That stare is priceless.<br />CuzNate-it is nice to be remembered. I miss those Xmas Eves. Last I remember, you were at Princeton. I hope all is well. Sniglets rock. "Fousion"- the art of combining puffy sleeves, cleavage, sequins and a choker into one gorgeous prom moment. My word verification word is "faming". This stuff writes itself.<br />Nate- I knew you'd comment. There should be a contest for guessing how much older a "couple of years" is. I bet I win.<br />Anon-let's hear it for being a little older! Woo to the HOO!!!<br />Meryl-My beautiful eyebrows are a wonderful burden I must bear. It ain't easy being this ruggedly good looking.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530485315842315505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-60703459231382069582010-01-22T17:56:36.640-08:002010-01-22T17:56:36.640-08:00Wow!
