"Last week, I asked you to bravely send me your prom photos. My inbox was flooded with photos of your fabulous dresses (plus lots of perms and nervous dates!). So, without further ado, here are twelve of your awesome shots....&amp;quot;All of that hair! I was studying abroad in Germany for part of my senior year, and my date asked me while I was in Europe, so I shopped for prom dresses in Paris. I felt so fancy.&amp;quot; -- Jordan from Oh Happy Day. &amp;quot;My friend B. invited me to his senior prom. I was a bit of a wreck the whole time because all I could think about was how B. had emailed me days in advance to ask if I would slow dance with him! In the end, not a single slow song was played, and the party wound down before I had to contend with an awkward, pressure-laden slow dance. I was elated!&amp;quot; -- Leigh from Marvelous Kiddo. &amp;quot;A) Can we talk about my eyebrows? They are the width of my forearms. B) Did I take a quick jazzercise class before snapping this photo? What is with my hair?! C) My dress is about 14 sizes too big. D) Paul is about 14 pounds underweight. E) Paul is wearing a Mr. Clean-sized earring. E) There is a bush on my wrist. Also, I included a picture from our wedding, as proof that (thankfully) we turned out OK! &amp;quot; -- Melisa from The Lil Bee. &amp;quot;Clearly I loved me some hot rollers...&amp;quot; -- Joslyn from Simple Lovely. &amp;quot;My three best friends and I went to prom last spring, and we&amp;#x27;re all still very close. Three of the dresses are bridesmaids dresses.&amp;quot; -- Melody. &amp;quot;My girlfriend Liz and I were standing in my parents&amp;#x27; front yard before my senior prom. Earlier that week, several of my friends &amp;quot;disowned&amp;quot; me for booking a party bus rather than a limousine. (The limos were sold out all over town, so I thought the bus was the best solution.) I don&amp;#x27;t remember much about Liz&amp;#x27;s dress, but she was the most beautiful I&amp;#x27;d ever seen her. We&amp;#x27;d been dating off-and-on for ten months. It was the first time we spent the night together. It was glorious.&amp;quot; -- Max from All Plaidout. &amp;quot;I felt pretty classy, despite the fact that my adorable date was afraid of girls.&amp;quot; -- Leah. &amp;quot;My prom in Toronto was last June. I&amp;#x27;m the one in the earthy green with the embroidery. The photo where we&amp;#x27;re all laughing makes me incredibly happy, and people keep telling me it looks like a CW poster.&amp;quot; -- Alaina. &amp;quot;I think I might be the only person ever to have combined Brooks Brothers (the pink skirt) and Dolce &amp;amp; Gabbana (the top), hahaha.&amp;quot; -- Porter from Porter Polaroid Project. &amp;quot;After my mom did some serious basement diving, we were able to find my prom photos! My mom and I made the dress together. We chose a pattern based on the pink Ralph Lauren gown that Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the Oscars that year, but we used a black silk taffeta with black velvet polka dots.&amp;quot; -- Anne from The City Sage. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#x27;t have any full-length shots, but you can still get a feel for my tacky jeweled star on my chest and unflattering hair color.&amp;quot; -- Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere. &amp;quot;I LOVED my sparkly pink prom dress. My sister was with me at the mall when I saw it. Every other dress I ever wore to high school dances was vintage or secondhand (each under $30), so my mom and dad were willing to splurge on this one. Sometimes I still take it out and model it in front of my mirror, just for fun...&amp;quot; -- Kaylen from Happy Notions. Thank you, my dears! You are all so adorable! Did you enjoy your prom experience? How would you rank it on a scale of 1 to 10? Did you end up smooching your lucky date? P.S. How old were you when you had your first kiss? (I was old.) And, speaking of dresses, would you wear a vintage wedding dress, a giant meringue wedding dress or a J. Crew wedding dress?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
