That is funny, you noticed! He bailed!

I was jilted on prom night. He went back to his ex. Not that much of a stunner was I, huh.

Oh no! What a creep! Well it was his loss-

I think Ali MacGraw was a very popular actress then and I remember I was determined to be just like her!

Very pretty photo! I did go to my senior prom, only because I was determined to and because a good friend egged me on...shy me asked the pole vaulting jock I was tutoring...silly me...I didn't hang in the same crowd, didn't know he had a girl friend, and wasn't exactly on her favorites list when he said "yes".
I remember after the shock of him saying yes, telling my friend who so encouraged me, and she said she could never turn around and do the same with the guy she wanted to go with!!
Of course, he wacked his back on a vault, so went to the prom on crutches...we actually had a good time.

In the life is weird department, years later, in my 30's, I met him again at this friends house, and he let me know he'd really wanted to ask my friend

I honestly wish he hadn't told me. Then, my thought was, well, you didn't have the guts to ask her, she didn't have the guts to ask the guy she wanted to go with, I had the guts to ask you and I had a good time...that memory can not be taken away.

sheesh!

And now he is fat, balding, and floating around someplace on Match.com

That was mean of him to say to you. He sounds like a miserable man, that's probably why he made such a rude comment. Things like that are best to keep to yourself.

No, he was still incredibly cute, but with more of a history by then, a sad one. I felt bad for how life had gone for him.

I think it just popped out in one of those being "too honest" moments about our life as teens. But I did wish he hadn't shared it!

And...you also get a good view of my hometown, Ormond Beach, in that pic. Sorry it's kind of far away!

I know that beach!!

My family and some friends are in Daytona.

Yay!! I absolutely love the Ormond Beach atmosphere. It's got a different feel from Daytona, but it's definitely nice having Daytona as our neighbor -- it adds more nightlife than Ormond would otherwise have! I really miss Ormond when I'm away at college!! Luckily though, finals are next week and that means I can go home for a few days out of every week during summer!

hahaha yeah, it is. Those kinds of dresses were really popular in my area about that time (2001). I absolutely loved that dress. It was fun, bright, and I knew it would stand out so I was really excited about it! It was, afterall, early May in Florida!

 

[sashacat421]

Early MAY and midriffs showing? ? <gasp!>

Well considering they go into hibernation towards the end of November and come out again midway through February in these parts....

Great thread idea, MA and great pics everyone!! I just dug this ancient picture out tonight. This is me (on left) and my best friend Paula (on right) in 1996. The picture quality sucks b/c my scanner is pretty crappy.

 

[wellingtoncats]

Beautiful picture, Kelly!

Thanks Sam! That's one of my favorite photos of us. I don't get to see her as much as I did in high school. We live 3.5 hours apart now

We keep the phone lines hot, though!!

Well thanks ma'am!

My grandmother had the great style in our family. After she came to America from Russia in 1912, learned English and went to college, she opened up an accessories boutique in New York City. She had the best bags, hats, gloves...and hair ornaments "all the way from Paris", which was a big deal back then (this was when Russia and France were good friends so she got great stuff!).
