    Would you do it all over again? What would you do differently?

      I would GO!! I didn't get to go to prom. My parents yanked me out of school my Freshmen year and I did home school so I didn't get to do any of that fun stuff! ;(

      I went with a male friend ~ he was the hottest guy in school. But no making out! Damn it!!!!

      I would change my date. He was a POS who slapped me across the face for no reason. Great times, great times.

      I would pay more attention to my date. I used him for a good picture, but spent the majority of the evening dancing with my bestie, and ignoring my poor handsome date. Poor Kenny. I'm sorry, dude. :frown:

      I didn't go because I ended up not having the same feelings as I did when he asked me and didn't want him to spend/ blow all his money on me.. dont regret it at all..

      prom was awesome.


      i actually threw a "prom" party for my friends a few years back. I rented out city hall, got a liquor license, dj, photographer, everything. i think i spent aounr $2k to throw a party, but holy crap, it was a good party.


      and what did i do differently than what i did from my first prom? i wore panties this time.

      I probably wouldn't go. I'd plan a night out with friends doing something fun instead with decent food.

      I didn't go, I don't regret it. The guy I wanted to go with was away at college at the time. Instead of wasting $$$ on that and the senior trip, I bought a car...

      I wouldn't have worn a white tux. And my mooostache at the time was creepy, would shave that off.

      Woulda picked a better date. Got stood up for my senior prom and missed the grand march because of it. Still had a good time without the jerk.

      I had fun at prom both years, though i wish i wouldn't have had to spend half the night avoiding kiss attempts from my date to Sr prom!


      i think we need a big MFP prom... then again, it may turn into a different sort of party altogether, knowing my friends... :wink:

      Yes, we should DEFINITELY do that.

      I'd be with the crowd smoking joints outside because we're too cool to go to the prom

      Lets see...............

      1st prom: Different dress........ mine was not cute
      2nd prom: Different date.........mine was not cute
      3rd prom: Was actually pretty awesome......... I had a cute dress, cute date, all my girls were there
      4th prom: Different venue. The gym was in the local "civic center" which is only slightly larger than a church fellowship hall and smelled like mildew and moth balls
      5th prom: Would have convinced my BFF to pick a different date. We had to pick him up from jail with a tux that we had to guess on the size - it was too big - and he was a loser - we ditched our dates and left and went bungee jumping in our prom dresses
      6th prom: My cheap *kitten* school. Venue was AWESOME!!!!! Right on the beach at a REALLY nice place, sit down dinner, but they forgot to budget for prom king and queen or a GOOD DJ. I was homecoming queen that year and one of the top 3 for prom queen.

      Yeah. I'd still go for getting finger blasted in the back of the limo by my date. Though I guess for a do-over it'd have to be my husband; it'd be awkward if it were my then-BF.

      I never went to a prom in high school, but I did go to an 80s prom party a year ago at 38 wearing a gown I had since 1989. I'm going again this year, but not sure if I want to wear a prom gown or just 80s wear.

      Different date, different dress, different hair and I wouldn't have gotten my period about an hour before we left.

      Just did it all over again this past weekend! Our town held a fundraising event called "Second Chance Prom for Hospice". My profile picture (on the right) is from this weekend! :D My first prom was fun, I got my "dream date" which happened to be awful! LOL He was super shy and we were voted Prom Queen and King, most awkward dance ever! This time I got to go with my husband and friends, we rented a party bus and I had too many gin & tonics. Great night!

      I might actually go this time.

      I would have changed everything! The dress, the date, my hair.... I tried on my dress a while ago (once I had lost some weight) and it looked MUCH better on me. Back then it just wasn't a great cut for my body. Sigh.
      Oh well :)
