I ransacked Goodwill for a totally rad dress to wear to the 80s Prom. No dice! However, I did learn something new tonight and not just to avoid eye contact with the random guy who hangs out by the dressing room with the secure door (bed sheet).
I found the following inside of a purse. Looks like Delta Gamma’s are slutty, love Disneyland, sex, taking pictures (of sex?), have called their mother but not their father. Finding weird stuff like this makes me happy beyond words.
Though like totally 80s, I think this might be too pretty. Not that I’d pass it up if I were lucky enough to find it in my size.
I’m pretty sure my sister wore this exact dress to her senior ball. It makes me hungry for sherbet. Or Orange Julius. Or cheese sticks. Or cheese doodles. Or orange Play-Doh.
The final dress is pretty awful. Black and pink really don’t go well together, but things were wacky in the 80′s. Happy dress hunting.
Personally, the sisters of Delta Gamma are major sluts. You’re just going to have to take my word on this one Pants.
What book store has film, dishwashing soap, tooth paste, razors, and hats? Does this girl know what a book store is?
At least we know that Delta Gammas are having safe sex.
egan,
So wrong it’s right.
Brookelina,
Target?
My guess is the campus bookstore–they have everything!
And I hope you find something AWESOME. I have a few that would work…sadly they’re packed away in Maine and if you’re the size I was in high school I will hate you with too much seething rabidness to even offer to lend them to you, so it’s pretty much moot.
(p.s. it’s cool to see what you look like finally!)
I think you should go with something similar to the last one. I believe aqua was another popular shimmery color.
I was teensy tinsy in high school. I would offer you my prom dress only I was 20 lbs underweight at the time. I hope a fully grown woman would not fit into it.
Oooooh Pants, I like the Velveeta orange dress. You should be true to your heritage and wear a gigantic Mo-Bow in your hair. Preferably one that’s bigger than your head.
Lisa,
No worries there…I probably wouldn’t have fit into it in high school, let alone at 31!
Übermilf,
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for something similar to the last photo too. It’s so painful, I can’t help but love it.
Sofi,
Does this mean I should bring a book of m to make sure I keep proper distance from my date? Who happens to be a woman! The bishop is going to have a field day with this…uh oh, maybe I should bring my total from a few posts back. Ha ha!
Are you referring to the Delta Gamma part or the hideous dress?
I was referring to the dress but I guess it works for both!
Pants – I just remembered that Dress #2 (the black one) made an appearance at a wedding I was at last weekend. I kind of felt like I was in an episode of Miami Vice. It was cool.
OMG, those are all great. I could have told you that DG’s love the sex. All the ones I knew in college were pretty skanky.
Dress me up and call me prettyyyy.
Sofi,
My kind of wedding.
Burr-ee-toe,
I will be sure to send you a picture!
egan,
I can’t wait to put a ribbon in your hair.
i LOVE that last one. i had that dress pretty much, except the ruffles were pink, aqua, purple and black.
HOT.
Don’t forget you gotta have really big hair. Those remind me of bridesmaid dresses….Do Delta Gamma chicks really do it in the theme park? Which ride?
Oh! Did you try Out Of The Closet in The Castro — right across from the side of Safeway. …what street is that? Church? The J and N trains run right by it!
I love second hand shops!
I think the best Goodwill is in West Portal right off the M/K/L trains.
But — I believe The White Elephant sale is happen’ in Oakland this Sunday if it isn’t too late!!!!
I spent prom night getting loaded with a bunch of friends. I should have just got laid instead.
Dude, I just hope OMD is around to play “If You Leave”.
Oh Pants…Pants….Pants. Long time no see. It’s been a while since I’ve been inside you…r blog. Did you miss me? I know you did. I know it.
Love me again?
Touch me again?
Are the ads in the right margin making you rich yet?
Oh my God! You’ve been here all during 2007, while I was hibernating. How I’ve missed you.
That purse scavenger hunt is priceless. Priceless I tell you!
And I agree… the last dress is the bomb. The bomb!
I love you! I can’t stop exclaiming! I love you! The sun is out!
!!!!
Did you ever find a dress?!?!?!?
We want to see!!!!!!
miss kendra,
Pink, aqua, purple and black ruffles? I’m so jealous! I mean it.
patches,
I don’t know but it IS the happiest place on earth.
matty,
Every year I say that I’ll make it to the Elephant sale, then I miss it. Argh!
The Grunt,
That’s not very righteous.
yournamehere,
Now I can’t get that song out of my mind.
Hal I. Burton,
Calzone?
egan,
*insert emoticon here*
Monkey,
Happy monkey!
!!!!
matty,
Sadly, I did not find a dress and I didn’t make it to the prom. My friend wasn’t feeling up to it so we went to the movies instead. I guess prom will wait, hopefully not another thirty-one years.
No, not calzone. danny
Hey-o Danny boy!
