This photo of Studly Doright and me literally fell into my lap on Thursday night. I opened a binder and out it tumbled, crudely cropped and slightly faded.
I love this picture so much. It was taken in the spring of 1975 on the night of our junior-senior prom. My mother made the dress, and I felt so pretty in it. Puffy sleeves had that effect on me. Plus, I was so in love I could hardly stand it.
Studly had better hair than I did. At least nowadays I’m ahead of him in that category. You see, I still have hair. I hope I didn’t just say that out loud—he’s sitting right here!
Note the harvest gold pole lamp that almost appears as an appendage on my back. The lamp is an indication that the photo was taken inside my family’s home because Mom was really into harvest gold. Our fridge, stove, washer and dryer were all of the same hue.
I wish I could relive that night one more time, to feel that young and pretty and carefree again. Guess I’ll settle for the next best thing, and kiss this bald guy goodnight. Puffy sleeves might help, too.
Peace, people!
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Wonderful

Oh I was so awkward—that hasn’t changed, but for one shining moment, I was a princess.

I honestly hadn’t seen that photo in maybe 40 years. Not exactly a tribute to my archival skills!

You took the words right out of my mouth the minute I looked at Studly — he had hair! I’m so used to seeing your current pics of him. You both look very cute, and yes you look very much in love. – Marty
