Amanda, God bless her, writes: This was my senior year prom, and year two of mullet-dress look (short in front, long in back. Although as you can see, this number certainly had some party going on in the front too).
In judging my photo(s), I hope folks consider how the silhouette of my hair complemented the fanning silhouette of my dress, the entire context of the photo(s) — Camaro, white van, Payless shoes, date’s knock-off Ray Bans, mom’s boyfriend’s trucker hat (pre-Ashton Kutcher), the Lee Press On Nails perfectly matching that pink and that devil-may-care look on my face. (I knew my date had a fake ID).
If you do decide to only use one, and use the one of me seated, please make sure folks know that’s not my date.
These two photos (this one and the one above it) are true works of prom art. Big hair, bold colors, and a date who’s right there with you, fake Ray-Bans and all. But set against your mom’s boyfriend in his teal t-shirt and trucker hat? Oh, my.
These photos could only be improved if they were set against a canvas of black velvet. And maybe not even then. This is…these are simply stupendous. It’s basically the prom equivalent of the three wolves t-shirt.
No. It’s even better.
[...] We plan to update daily. Of course, before you dig in, a GIANT Thank You needs to go out to the brave souls who submitted their photos before this site was launched or even named. Souls like Amanda’s, whose submissions are to the left and below. [...]
Oh, my. It's the hair/beard symmetry that gets me. And the pink shoes. My oh my.
just saw this one and i've decided i totally want to share a pitcher with amanda.
mullet dress! party in the front, business in the back. oh wait. that didn't sound good at all.
@ tsxjewels. I'm thirsty (the years of Aqua Net left me permanently parched).
