My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
I actually got the idea for this post from a good blogger friend of mine, Diane.
So thanks for the inspiration, dear lady. And I just want you to know that I think your prom dress was so much prettier than my tuxedo.
*and if you’ve never visited Diane before, please do yourself a favor - as soon as you’re finished reading this post, head over and introduce yourself - Diane is a super lady and has a super blog.
(especially if you enjoy martini’s)
Anyway…
…most of you already know that I’ve had off from work this month, and have been going though boxes in my closet; finding all sorts of fun vintage things. A few days ago I discovered some senor prom photos that date back to 1974.
And the only thing I can personally say about how I looked in these photos, is that I totally blame it on 1974!
It kind of scares me though, because you know how they always say, “Style repeats itself?”
Well, I’ve got news for you…
..I’ll go to my senor citizen prom NAKED before I’m ever seen again in this DÉCOR.
Ok, so here we go…
Now be honest with me…when you first looked at this, which two people in the photo suddenly POPPED out and caught your attention, because what their wearing looks as though they stole it from the Wayne Newton and Liberace Museums in Las Vegas?
Did you figure it out?
I don’t know about you, but when first I looked at this photo, my eyes suddenly BULGED out.
This photo was taken in front of my house, just before we all got into my fathers’ car and drove to a formal dinner at Denny’s.
Now as far as I’m concerned, I think both ladies look fabulous, because what their wearing is simple, classic and is not causing my eyes to have detached retinas.
However, the gentlemen look like a cross between a Las Vegas Act and two funeral directors from South Philly.
Tell me…now what’s WRONG with this picture?
To me, it seems as though the two ladies and the two gentlemen are about to attend completely different social events. The women are going to the Ritz Carlton, and the men are going to the CIRCUS.
Now if you look closely at my tuxedo, it’s so long, that if I had belted it, it could almost pass for a quilted Chanel mini dress.
And my best friends tuxedo PANTS…well… I can’t even find the words to described them other than, “Get them the HELL OFF!”
And our bow ties?......no comment.
Ok, moving on to one more for the boys…
This next photo was taken in the living room of my best friends house.
And what I find interesting about this photo, is how who ever took it, felt the need to include the hanging crystal chandelier, rather than our legs.
WTF??
Notice how we’re standing in front of a window curtain, which cleverly made us look like the opening comedy act for Sammy Davis Jr.
Oy vey…
Well, the only thing I can say is this…
…thank god for evolution.
