My Hour as Prom Queen...
Soon after my latest newsletter mailed, I got several emails from readers suggesting I post pictures of me in the "prom" dress I wore for our 1985 office party last Thursday. Since I feel occasional public humiliation builds character (hence my love for Karaoke), here you go.
This is the pink dress. Too bad there's not a back view--there's a tremendous bow.
Here are my leg warmers (because it's funny) and my yellow pumps that perfectly coordinate with my Billy Idol and Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet buttons.
I won I prize package for best costume--a VCR tape rewinder, a floppy disk, and the Duran Duran poster in the above pics. I love you Simon Le Bon (even at age 49)!

Anyone who can take a little public humiliation, in the name of fun, is my kind of gal.
That really is a character-building dress. The shoes and leg warmers are priceless!
O' so 80's chic!
So fun and so pink! I love the sleeves and the badges. :)
Alice, the leg warmers are Perfection but the bangs are not nearly "poofy" enough:)
I loved the 80's! You are my kind of girl. I had a green one just like this! I found your blog on "bloggers of note". I just started blogging myself and I'm really enjoying the writing and reading other authors. I'll be back to visit you again soon!
Rock on!
I had that same exact poster in my bedroom in junior high! I still attend Duran Duran concerts!
Gotta love the 80's!
