{tulle wrapped memories}

I don't normally find these types of websites to be a typical place to visit, but this site deserved a nod. Gentle reader, we’ve all been there…the hair, the outfits, the sweaty palms - the high school prom. Promtacular! is an online repository of reader submitted photographs capturing us in our most coiffed, billowy, tulle wrapped, sequined glory. Their mission statement is true to the cause: “…let’s be clear: this site isn’t about reviling days past. No, no. We at Promtacular! are here to celebrate the sequins. To embrace the lace. To high-five the hairspray, the mullets, the dyed shoes and the press-on nails. Because proms may be awkward, but they’re also full of awesome.” I remember my prom, as friend Vicki and I took our dates to McDonald's. My mom had shown up before and had linens and china set, a formally dressed McDonald's worker, complete with towel draped arm, took our orders while we sat at the table. It was all very posh but in line with our high school budgets. We enjoyed our meal while friends who had dined at fancy restaurants later complained of not eating something they enjoyed.
