Flashdance
January 22, 2007
A bunch of high school kids came to the restaurant I work at last night for dinner. They were all decked out in frilly dresses and coordinating tuxes. I was somewhat surprised since it’s neither prom nor homecoming season, but watching them talk and take pictures brought back memories and I really missed wearing gowns.
It seems like dresses have already changed a lot in the three years I’ve been out of high school. A bunch of them were puffy, but only from the thighs down. The girls left behind millions of glitter specks, all over everything. I don’t remember any of my dresses really being glittery.
Anyway, I decided to see if I could dig up a picture from each dance for each of my four years of high school. I sort of feel displaced from them now, but it’s intriguing to try to relive it all.

I’ve yet to attend a school dance, unless you count the eighth grade dance to which I had no date except for the wonderfully carpeted wall. You seem as if you had no trouble finding dates. I love the black and white dress in the last one.

Aww the 9th grade picture is so nice :)
When I was in high school, the only year we got formal events was senior/grad year.

I’ve never been one for attending dances … I attended all of two dances in my life, and neither was as fun as my friends made it out to be. =P But still, I like wearing pretty dresses.

I love trips down memory lane.

I still have my high school graduation dress in the closet, hanging there like a blue ghost in the gloom.
