I was thinking of putting this in the post your pictures thread, but I thought I would just make a new thread so everyone could post prom pictures (even if you did not go to prom this year, but last year or whatever, still post your pics).

here is what I have so far from my camera:
note* these are some of the only pics in existence of me with combed hair

here is a pic of my date, van, and myself
http://quasi-ke.servebeer.com/pics/mylife/prom/me%20%26%20van.jpg
here is some rice at the restaurant, it was in the shape of a heart so I took a picture of it
http://quasi-ke.servebeer.com/pics/mylife/prom/rice.jpg
my parents thought they would snap pics of me getting into my sexy car

all of the asian girls in our group

I went to my prom in a Humvy Limo(Think I spelt it right). It was sweet. We had strobe lights, ceiling mirror and a um...smoke machine. It didnt work to well. We thought the driver was smoking but it was the ...smoke machine. I got outragousley drunk that night and vodka. I almost fainted when dancing with this girl.

Our prom hasn't happened yet and it's the senior prom anyways.  Juniors can go, but as far as I know not many are

How many people were in the Humvy Limo? I have been thinking about prom lately, even though it's like 2 years away. I definitely want to spare no expense as it's a memorable night - but from what I hear my schools prom isn't like..formalish. They have rap and all the people do that grind dancing. A friend who graduated last year said he was expecting ballroom type dancing, but like even though they had slow songs - all the kids did was grind slowly. He said they were basically having sex on the dance floor. Ugh, that's definitely not my kind of thing.

Anyway, I want to make it as classy/traditional as I can but still be kind of different. I'm thinking a seersucker suit, instead of a regular black tuxedo and instead of a regular limo I've been thinking a Rolls Royce. However, I researched that for a price and stuff @ area limo companies and I found out that they don't have regular Rolls Royce cars, but only a limo - and it's uber expensive (I think they jacked the price up since all the seats were done in Louis Vuitton upholstery and such.). It costs $80/person to go to our prom + suit + dinner + car + pictures + corsage. I should probably start saving now, as I don't really like the whole making a woman pay thing.

We have a Junior Prom too for juniors, I have no clue if you're supposed to do promish stuff for that or not. :\

[/quote] Here is a break down of what I paid for ours:
65 for couples tickets
70 for tux
40 for dinner for the two of us
10 for gas (no limmo our whole group just drove our own cars cos limos were all booked up)
20 for corsage

205 total

Her dad bought her dress for her, I have no idea what he paid... I couldn't even give you a ball park. I work in sears... but I work in the tool department, and the dresses at sears suck.

There were about 14 of us in the limo paying roughley $20 each for it. The suit cost me double that and it was about $9 for a ticket. Pluss then expense for cigars etc. I pinched all the alchol I drank off of friends.
April 11, 2005, 9:43 PM

$9? That's insanely cheap. Our prom tickets are more I think if we didn't pay dues Freshmen-Junior year, since they incorporate dues into the price or something. You can't go to prom if you didn't pay I think.

Mine are in this folder: http://www.insanedev.net/tks/ryan/

The prom pictures are the ones titled prom then some numbers. There are only four, because that was like a year ago.

The other pictures... they speak for themselves.

Notice: Every picture (most likely) involved beer, marijuana or a combination of both.
Notice of the Notice: This picture brings back some good, good memories.

Our tickets are $20 per couple or $15 per person.  Dinner is about $40 a person, tux is about $140, limo is $20 a person, alcohol is as much as you want!  ;D

Friends = guys & girls....I am a relative misfit & am not gay.  I went to prom last year & dropped $150 bucks, had about .3% as much fun as I could have had camping.  This year would've been $200+ cause of a date, screw that

They aren't that much more expensive than renting a regular limo. It'd probably be cheaper if it were just the car, but as far as I can tell nobody around here has just cars - at least those with websites. When it gets close to my prom I'll call around I guess.

See, everyone here is renting limos in groups or whatever - that rocks kinda. I'm not one for group dates I guess (not that I date) - I guess it takes away from the romantic element. However, even if I wanted to go in a group I wouldn't be able to. As many of you know I have a hard time in social situations, I can't think of 14ish friends that I wouldn't feel uncomfortable asking to ride with me or something. Yes, I'm weird and have too many phobias; sue me.

What?!?  What does it lead to?!?  Omgz I must know!

As far as grinding goes, I propose two new past-tense versions of the word.  We "grund," and the past participle, "we have grunded."

Aside from the funny word, I did not prefer to grind with my ex when we were in a public place.  I just didn't like that kind of thing in public anyway.  Our romantic relationship was our own.  Public displays of affection IMO are frequently distasteful.

[/quote] I completely agree. I danced... i did not have sex with my clothes on on the dance floor. One dude took off his shirt on the dance floor and was rubbing all over this girl... they were drunk of course, so I guess that guy was cool with doing things like that, but I am not. Seems like it would be very embarassing to do that kind of thing sober.

Because I really don't wat to wreck his $45,000 car.  If I were to wreck the rental car it would suck, but not as bad as wrecking his car.  As for the age, diffrent companys have diffrent policys, and I was looking at the type of places that had jaguars and what not for rent.

I don't know what kind of decorations we will have, but the last senior class said they were extremlly elaborate, and we rented the skyroom at trinity so I would imagine that has something to do with it.

Actually my memories of three years of prom go like this:

Sophmore year: went to senior prom with a girl who was too attrocious to get a date.  Result: learned not to be so nice to people in the future, received 2+ years of mockery.

Junior year: went to prom with a friend who it later turned out is incredibly bipolar and psychotic.  Highlight was going to an afterparty featuring booze and a heated pool. Result: learned that with a crazy girl, fun is either proportional or inversely proportional to how much she has had to drink, depending on some unknown quantum ray.  As an interesting side note, this girl later went on to take some ecstasy and hook up with two guys at once.

Senior year: went to prom with my girlfriend.  had the most terrible time because it turns out we both hate dancing and there's not much else you can do at prom.  We leave prom early, throw an impromptu party at her house.

Basically, I feel that prom sucks.

Last year I went just with friends & couldn't even 'dance' because my knee was still bum then.  I dropped $150+ & had 0 fun.  This year I don't plan to go because I would've been with a date (she asked me, go figure) & that is like $200+ just to eat a little & 'dance'.  I love to camp so naturally Camping > Prom.  Everyone says senior prom is something you'l regret missing, I don't care I'd regret spending the money more.

Why? Scrubbing the bottom of the car would just remove a lot of rust protection coating.

[/quote] Amen to that... dirt on the top of the car is also good because it protects the paint from sun fade.

But notice how some of the joints are already rusting?  That's cause the grease is keeping moisture there, if there wasn't any grime then water wouldn't be held there long enough for everything to rust. 

Dirt on top of a car scratches the paint every time you touch it.  A clean & waxed car would last MUCH longer than a disgustingly dirty car.

[/quote] I was being facetious.... Plus what is the point of having paint if no one is going to see it under the layer of filth.

Word, esp when you pay $100 an ounce for the paint!

Actually, that's not true. A car driven half of every year in a salty water-snow mix for 18 years is going to get some rust on the bottom even if it's completely clean. The best way to protect it is to treat it with something that covers the metal parts - grease, oil, that kind of thing - to keep the salt water away as much as possible.

But random grime doesn't build up over the entire bottom, that is why they have the 'rust protection spray'

Rust protection spray, well, perhaps. Even better is to have some heavy rust protection applied. But neither of them will survive the physical scrubbing that would be required to really clean the underside of a car. Especially the way stones sprayed up from the wheels get stuck in the rust protection.
