thank god i'm not in high school anymore day
Meloknee has convinced me to participate in a new national holiday. Yes, today is "Thank God I'm Not in High School Anymore Day."
So in honor of such an important day, I give to you,
Bugg in high school, mostly at nasty school dances. I'm not even going to bother commenting on the hair or outfits. It was the 80's, everyone looked this stupid.
Don't laugh too hard!
Homecoming, 1985 – freshman year
First ever dance. My friend and I did NOT plan to wear matching outfits. When she showed up we were both like, OH MY GOD, NOOOOO! And I didn't like my date. I liked hers. Mullets were very popular with soccer players in Ohio in 1985.
Sadie Hawkins, 1985
Nate seems thrilled to be my date. Not. That was the first time I ever got up enough balls to ask someone out. Although, I liked Nate as a friend, I really liked John Porter, and still wish I had just asked him instead. Sigh.
Homecoming 1986
I had only lived in Michigan for about two months at this point. Heather was also a new girl from Ohio so we became fast friends. Sean was a nice guy and I really broke his heart. Mean ole Bugg.
Christmas Dance, 1987
I went to this dance with my friend, Dave. It is unusual to find a guy as short as I am. About this outfit I will say - Joan Collins called, she wants her Dynasty wardrobe back!
Prom, 1987
Pretty in Pink inspired joy. Dave and I broke up a week before the dance. He eventually ended up marrying the only other girl in school with my same first name. She was my diabolical opposite and dumb as a bowl of mice.
Prom 88 -
I had just broken (stupidly) up with my boyfriend, Brian so my friend, Pete was kind enough to escort me to my junior prom. We had a good time even if I had a terrible allergy attack and the chaperones at the dance thought I was drunk and or stoned. Those particular chaperones hated me as they were newly ex'd - Brian's parents. Dad was an ex-marine and teacher at our school. Mom was the school counselor. They thought I was too wild and spoiled for their perfect son. They were right.
I'm not putting in prom 1989 photos because I didn't want to go. I had recently broken up with my boyfriend Kevin, who I caught porking a slutty junior named Julie. My friends made me go to prom, and my date was with Michelle's brother. I had never even met him before as he had been recently been asked to leave the Navy. I'll tell you it's not that fun being the single girl on a formal date with a stranger you aren't attracted to, with three other couples who decided to skip the dance so they could go straight to the hotel to get wasted and get it on. Sweet.
Ms. St. Joe Contest, 1989
Could I be a little more tan? Is that possible? It was like January or something, in Michigan. All these girls were my friends and lots of fun, except girl in the middle. Total BITCH!!! Kristen, where ever you are I hope you finally pulled that bitch stick outta your ass!

These are some fabulous pics. I love the comment about the girl who was dumber than a bowl of mice. And that Dynasty outfit defies mere words. Well done! I am in awe of your collection.
