Prom

Did you have a Prom or prom-like event where you are from?
Yes
If so did you go?
Yes
Did you go with a date? Stag? With a group of friends?
A childhood platonic friend
What was your Prom like?
Ok I guess but the music wasn't that good and the place was a little cheesy. I did not like most of my classmates because the school I when had a lot of superficial rich kids and that is so not me. But I had fun with my group of friends. I think I had too high expectations because in american movies and tv shows they are epic and mine was anything but that!
What was similar or different from Buffy's prom?
Everything was different. No live band, no romantic slow dance, no prom prices and no life threaning event!
Did you have any hell beasts (or the real life metaphor for it) trying to keep you from enjoying the party?
No, I was no bullied by anyone at the end of high school. I don't think people cared enough because I was not different or special in no way for people to notice.
Did you have Senior Superlatives (Most Popular/Best Dressed etc) and if so did you win any?
No, I don't think we have does in Quebec.
Do you remember any memorable songs or dances?
Yeah from Usher was pretty popular at the time and I remember slow-dancing to Incomplete by the Backstreet boys...like I said the DJ wasn't good.
Was it magical or boring or somewhere in between?

In between, not that memoriable but I loved dressing up and having fun with my friends. My mom made my dress so it was perfect for me!
 
I still have my Belle ball dress. Its hard to imagine being that tiny!!! My boobs and hips are all baby bearing width now. Also a shimmering navy blue type 😀 Twinsies! My grade 11 dress still fits cos its stretchy 😛 I never really liked it though. Now even less that I can see the lumpy bits.

The worst part of attending the Ball was getting my hair done. I had extremely thick and long hair. It took 3 hours at the salon. I hated that bit. One Ball I didnt want to do it, so the boarding house mother ironed my hair. It didnt really work lol.

I was at a large city school before boarding, they had discos and formals but I didnt go to any held off campus. My grade just loved holding formals on river cruise boats, someone always spewed and I never wanted it to be me. We had SO many school music concerts/comps, rock eisteddfod, dance and arts days that none of the scholarship kids really bothered with the friday night booze dances. It was too bloody hard to get up for band practice on saturday morning!

Funny, it was never an issue for me to wake up and go to pony club following parties the very next year 🙄

Yeah part of the fun/tragedy in still having the dress is looking at how much thinner I was in my youth! Lol
