Prom 1977: Candid Couples

Sometimes it's best to let photos speak for themselves. I love how natural the girls look, with soft pretty hair and understated makeup. The young girls who go to prom today...well, it's all just so much of a production; the drag queens on RuPaul's Drag Race have nothing on today's generation of prom-going girls!




Turn the volume up loud...you know you want to! This song hit #1 on the Billboard chart on January 15, 1977.

  2. Those look like my prom pictures.

    Really, when it did it go from playing dress up to becoming a Halloween party?

    My Prom's theme was "The Times of Your Life" - by Paul Anka.

  3. When I saw my niece's prom photos I honestly thought for a minute it was Halloween and they were going to a party dressed as call girls. I mean, I'm not a prude but good lord! The girls in these pictures aren't dressed in what I'd consider to be a prom dress, either. Fortunately, their escorts look so ridiculous that it doesn't matter about the dresses!

  4. VC, I will lay down cash money to bet that both girls' dresses are homemade. My Indiana Senses were twitching as I posted them; I wore a lot of homemade clothes when I was young, because we were poor, and Mom is an accomplished seamstress.

    I think Lovely Lady Number Two resembles actress Diana Canova, who played Corinne on SOAP.
