The DU Prom: Who's your date and what will you be wearing?
I'll be accompanied by my partner. He'll have on a tasteful black tuxedo with a bow tie you can actually tie yourself, which he will discard half-way through the evening. I will be wearing a royal blue velet off-the shoulder knee-length dress with a white orchid corsage on my wrist. My hair will be in a French twist up-do which will also be discarded half-way through the evening as I get resolutely and increasingly drunk.

What about you?

1. Dunno.
No one's asked me. But I'm told I look good in a suit. :D

2. Proms are too commercial, isn't there a good live band playing
somewhere I can go to instead? Besides, I could never get a date for the prom anyway.

8. Yay, and that's okay, I refuse to wear a tux
I also refuse to weard Freeper "dress jeans" like they permitted at the coronation :).

So . . . . how does just dress casual like you would on a typical Friday at the office sound? :)

7. Hey maybe we can get a good band instead of a DJ
And once we deck the gym out with the streamers and mirrored ball, no one will even notice you're solo.

3. I'll be attending with the most beautiful woman on the planet...
...my beloved girlfriend.

Of course, I'll be wearing my dark-blue denim "Canadian Tuxedo" and 5-dollar Goodwill cowboy boots. And maybe the sombrero I bought at Hernandez restaurant in Delavan, WI.

We'll ride in on a burro! :bounce:

10. Oh, I've yet to have a date for a prom. Why start now? *see inside*
Edited on Mon Apr-04-05 12:05 PM by GreenPartyVoter
See, I married my H.S. sweetie, who is from a conservative evangelical family. NO DANCING! None.

I had a BF in h.s. but no prom date because his parents swore he would not be allowed into his Christian college if they found out.

And no dancing at our wedding either, as they threatened to not come if we had dancing or drinking. (And since his dad was the minister, they really needed to be there.)

Long story somewhat shorter, we never dance now either. He does not fell comfortable trying to move me around the floor, and I don't dance any better than when I first learned the fox trot from my dad during jr high.

Oh, well.

38. Holy shit!
reprehensor and I danced once, at our wedding, but he's not really the dancing type, so I doubt that will ever happen again. I used to love danging with my dad, though.

Sorry about the in-laws! I would have found another minister. MOBODY was telling me I couldn't have alcohol at my own wedding.

Our niece in Alberta will probably be getting married next year, and is dealing with that same issue right now- a future father-in-law who insists on no alcohol at the wedding (reprehensor's family is Metis! Like THAT'S going to happen!)

27. I'll don full white-tie
Real bow-tie (I'm allergic to pre-tied ones), tastefully understated shirt-studs and cuff-links, white gloves, white silk scarf. But if somebody asks very sweetly I may go for kilt and Bonnie Prince Charlie.

I have no date as yet ( :cry: ) and so will likely spend my entire time at the bar (I do hope there will be a bar, otherwise I'm bringing my hip-flask) oggling the gorgeous men of D.U. whilst I make witty and fascinating conversation.

42. Oh, solid! Now if you had the Rolling Stones too (the one with
Brown Sugar), we'd be sitting pretty! All the other kids would be coming over to the car, wanting a hit off our joint, sipping our wine - why, we'd hardly have time to get half-naked in the back seat! (By the way, I DO hope you have a '73 Dodge Charger - that was a cool car!)

43. I did have a Pontiac LeMans-68
And I DO have that album on CD now (I did have it on 8 track and album at the time)

We would simply leave early, go to bear hole (a deserted street) and then get half naked!

with all kinds of pretty underthings looking all beautiful and seductive. My date came late in a tie-tyed shirt, cargo shorts, and Tevas because he was busy with a project and forgot about me until the date was half over. :(
