1990 Couture and a Birthday Gift that Keeps on Giving.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Uncategorized

I’ve started another project.

Yeah, yeah…I know…..I haven’t finished the 172 other projects I have going on at the moment.

But I felt like ‘organizing’ my stash of old pictures, and I’ve come across some good ones.

The ubiquitous Olan Mills picture. Did I just say ‘ubiquitous?’ Mrs. Whitman would be so proud.
And a picture from some dance Senior year. I made the fashion faux-pas of wearing this metallic head-to-toe silver dress, with the matching silver metallic shoes, to (gasp) two dances. But it was just so darn hip and stylish that I couldn’t limit this baby to just one dance.

That’s my friend Shelley in the teal dress, and its her birthday today.

I knew she’d love nothing more than to be reminded of some of her favorite high school memories on her birthday….that dance, those dresses, and Mrs. Whitman.

Now take your Hamlet book and brandish it in the air. And clutch your notebook to your bosom. We’ll have an essay test on Beckett tomorrow.

Sorry, I just had a flashback to 1990.

Those were the good old days.

(Not).
