turning back time
yes, a HIGH SCHOOL PROM!
a few of my friends and i thought it would be super cool to throw ourselves a formal, black-tie dinner and dance party with the theme of a high school prom.
so last month, we invited 60 of our friends and rented out a nice ballroom with a delicious dinner and open bar, hired a dj to play 80's & 90's songs, set up a photo booth complete with a cheezy backdrop, hired a photographer to man the photo booth, and even had an announcement of prom king and queen and presented them with a tiara and crown! we named each table after classic 80's-90's movies, such as "Top Gun", "Pretty Woman", and "The Breakfast Club". we danced to Wham!, Erasure, Madonna, Cyndi
Lauper, Depeche Mode, and more. personally, i would've enjoyed hearing more old skool Hip Hop and R&B like Bobby Brown, Salt N'Pepa, Bell Biv Divoe, LL Cool J, and Mary J Blige. i requested them earlier, but for some reason the dj never played them. didn't hear any New Kids on the Block songs either. (yeah, i admit i was a fanatic NKOTB fan back then! i ain't ashamed... well, not really! haha) anyways, we had fun! here's the cheezy couple picture of me and larry. funny, right?it was cool because many of our friends here in Hong Kong didn't attend high school in the U.S. or Canada and never had the chance to experience prom, so this was their very first prom! for the rest of us who went to our proms but didn't have fond memories, it was our second chance at a better prom experience... and might i add, looking much nicer now than we did in our hideous 80's-90's prom dresses and permed hairs. =D

This is so awesome. Will you send out/post more pics? My friend in grad school was reminiscing about her HS prom and asked me blissfully, "ah don't you remember prom?" And I told her: I really don't! :) So long ago!
that is hilarious! i'm glad you had a good time! i'd love to do the same thing if only to go back and hear all the music (including NKOTB)!
btw- you'll love this but joey mcintyre was on my flight from nyc to la last week. =)
