I'm excited to announce that my favorite post of all time, The Prom Project, is being showcased on a cool online magazine. The magazine, named "The Blind Hem", has interesting content on several subjects we care about. It's fun to read.
The piece just went up -- here's the link. Proof that good things never die!
Ally, I think you reached a lot of adults' secret fantasy, to re-experience their prom in a better way, for whatever reason. Sometimes it seems so strange to me that a high school prom is such a right of passage for so many people, and so similar to a kind of emotional trauma when the dream doesn't match the reality, but living with two 15-year old teen girls reminds me that it's a huge, huge day in a young person's life. I still think Martini Prom Do-Overs could be the hot new party theme :)
ReplyDeleteWoo! Congrats on the feature. I didn't get to do prom (as a girl or boy). I agree with Lynne. I think adults should totally get a "do over." I know for years Nashville had an 'alternative' prom, but that was still for school aged kids.
ReplyDeleteRe-reading your experience brought a smile to my face. =]
I love it! Absolutely love it. Congratulations on the feature. You totally deserve it!

I saw the post at Blind Hem and just smiled and thought "que linda" which is similar but not the same as "how cute" . I cannot tell you how excited I was to see the picture and that the writer was no other than my friend Ally Hummel :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the feature!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully moving story. It definitely brought me back to my prom years (the "oh shit I have a pimple!" memory is still all too vivid, haha). I think it's great that you fulfilled this dream on your own terms. (And looked stunning while doing so...seriously, those pics are gorgeous.) Congrats on the feature!
ReplyDeleteThis is too gorgeous! Congrats, it must be exciting for you.

So, so cool that you got featured. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! It's a great article, and I'm so glad more people are able to read it. You captured the pre-prom feeling perfectly--choosing the dress, planning your makeup, the anticipation, and the inevitable pimple! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making the Blind Hem!
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic!!!! You looked so gorgeous that you definitely deserve to be published.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that they featured your post, congratulations! :) You looked gorgeous in both those dresses. I didn't go to my prom and I wish I could recreate it. I've always wanted to have an excuse to wear a huge princess-like ballgown.

The point of my post is: what's stopping us? I think you SHOULD do this simply because it's fun. You'll enjoy it immensely and that's justification enough for doing anything.
Deleteone of the prettiest pics of you!
ReplyDeleteGreat news Ally!
