Wow, Dude #3 really went all out for prom, didn't he?

Al said...

#2 wins. thats some hot shit!

Meade Skelton said...

Seems by 1992, people gave up on dressing up for Prom.

1992 shows the beginning of the trend (still going today) of girls looking as if they're going to a much nicer party than the guys think they're going to. I'm always seeing these girls dressed up in spangled minidresses and heels and their dates are schlumphing along in saggy-butt jeans, T-shirts with slogans, and shoes that look like huge loaves of Wonder bread.

This makes me SO HAPPY that I didn't go to prom!!!

#3 dude was probably a foreign exchange student. my guess is germany.

Cat said...

1992 was prime Grunge-time...I'm not surprised he couldn't be bothered to dress up.

Tria said...

#3 prom theme was "An Evening at Mordor," apparently.

John said...

long live the wrist corsage!

i'm so jealous we didn't have these background options at my prom. we just had a crappy sheet background

John said...

Number 3 - the guy is wearing Air Jordans. That's actually pretty hot.

1988- Looks like somebody's prom theme was 'Heaven is a Place on Earth' !

Guy #2 looks like a teacher molesting a student.

Yeah, guy #2 is at least 30 years old.

That mullet on guy number three is pretty hot. Mullet, tight white jeans - can't get any better than that.

I like these pics...I'm sure they were "in style" back than. Cute.

Is that a wet patch on the floor in between the girls shoes in pic 3?

Penelope said...

Gal #2 looked like she would be happy if anyone bothered to molest her.

I love the cotton clouds glued onto the background on pic #2.

And the guy in #3 is actually pretty cute.

rebeculus said...

she's wearing the same dress in #2 and #3. it's just shorter and a new style. either that or she's wearing the same shirt....

#3 could have been taken at a less formal event like homecoming.

I dig the shoes dyed to match the dress in #1.
