PROMPTuesday #223: Prom

PROMPTuesdays

When taking the kids to camp this morning, an old Bryan Adams song popped on the radio and BAM! I was gone in my head, motivating Toots to finally ask, “Was this your prom song?” Despite wondering how a nine-year-old could make that immediate assumption (repeated High School Musical viewings?), I had to acknowledge that the visceral connection between music and experience got me again, transporting me to a land far, far away where girls still wore puffy-sleeved relatively non-slutty prom dresses and Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers were still, indeed, “cool.” And so we have today’s creative writing prompt:

 

For this week’s writing exercise, think back to your prom(s) and write your impressions either from your perspective today or how you felt then. Be sure to post a video/track of your “prom theme” for the full sensory memory explosion.

 

Here’s a few starters:

I went to prom with…

I wore…

I didn’t go to prom because…

What I want to tell my daughter about prom…

 

It really helps to listen to your prom song first, trust me:

 

 

Story to follow…

 

Meanwhile, please post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog in the comments.

    I finally remembered to 1) come visit the blog before Saturday and 2) play along.

    Also, I kind of secretly have always loved Bryan Adams. Have you ever seen any of his photography? It’s as lovely as his music. He did a beautiful book years ago.
