It's A Party In San Clemente

Otherwise known as the day when its okay to spend $500 dollars on a dress and a pair of shoes that you will most likely never wear again. When it's okay to have to drive to three different appointments. When every girl, no matter what they look like, appears to look more gorgeous than ever. When stripper poles become an essential part of our society. On this day, Saturday June 5th otherwise known as prom, it became okay to have the ability to work a pole and give lap dances. But maybe that's just me and my friends? I've dreamed of what my prom would be like ever since I was a little girl (Yes most girls dream of weddings, I dreamt of prom). And to be honest, San Clemente's prom out shined all my expectations.

Granted the three weeks before prom were HELL. Being in charge of forty people isn't easy. Finding a restaurant that fits everyone's budgets, finding a party bus that was in the price range, picking the perfect picture spot and finally collecting everyone's money may seem like a piece of cake but I assure you, take on the task yourself and you will find your weight down, tears cried and maybe just a little bit of hair loss. Despite all the minor setbacks-whose going on the bus, who paid, who didn't, what music we were gunna play, etc- I found that after it all was said and done, the feeling that I and my partner in crime Katie O'Keefe had put on a great prom for my friends and especially my senior babies was amazing. I really hope that night was something to remember for them because I know I'll never forget it. It was just so amazing to be with a group of people and laugh and dance and just be nonchalantly happy you know? Like having those once in awhile, pure, tear jerking, heart stopping laughs that comes from somewhere deep within.

Now if you are going to prom, there is only one way to go. On your prom check list, if "party bus" isn't on the list, then I'm sorry, you have already lowered the amount of fun you will be having at prom from 100 to about 75. My party bus was legendary to say the least. Lap dances were given via girl on girl, girl on boy, and even boy on girl. Boys showed phenomenal strength via stripper poles, Warren Dira-I knew you were strong but the way you were able to work that pole will forever stick with me.

Prom itself was amazing. ASB did an amazing job picking out the perfect venue-a concert hall for all the juniors and seniors, yea perfect. The music was amazing, the food, the DJ, the people-I wish I had another word to describe it but I just can't. Dancing with my friends is a workout! Have one dance with Joseph Wright or Raymond Gillard and I guarantee you, your view of dancing will be changed for all eternity. Everyone jerked, fist pumped, dougied and shuffled and it just made for a perfect night.

So if you're wondering what you missed at prom, I could tell you you missed the chance for it to be acceptable to spend 500 + plus on one night, I could tell you you missed the opportunity to make a complete fool of yourself on a pole or a lap, I could tell you you missed amazing food and cookies with ice cream, I could tell you you missed the chance to see everyone looking their best, I could tell you that you missed an epic night-but even that wouldn't suffice in summarizing the best night of my life so far. That night that was: Prom 2010.
