Year 12 Ball 1993.

I wore a long black dress, high necked extremely fitted. Back was completely cut out down to my bum and laced up with an animal print scarf - sounds gross but was actually very very "Sexy" and not a traditional ball gown. Up until that point my nickname at school was "ironing board" and "surfboard" cause I was very tall with no breasts. Lets put it this way, that night was the first time I wasn't called my nickname anymore! Somehow I had developed and it wasn't noticeable under our school uniform!

I was head Girl of my school so my date and I had to greet everyone at the door and hand them a rose. Bit dorky but the girls loved it.

My date was a guy who had left our school the previous year who I had dated briefly. We were very good friends, he was a lovely guy and he still had a lot of friends at school so mixed well with everyone. We sat with a group of his friends and their dates who I liked and was happy to sit with.

Ball was held at one of the upmarket hotels in Perth, The Langley. We had a Jag take us up to the ball and afterwards someone (goodness knows who after all these years!) took us to one of the afterball parties. We had a few drinks, made out a bit and he tried to put his hand down my dress but my dear mum had pinned it so much cause I wasn't wearing a bra that it was near on impossible! I reckon mum knew what she was doing secretly!

No idea how or what time I got home but do know that I had a great night. Now my date is a friend on facebook, still cute but like me married with kids. Still is a good guy too!

I didn't get a formal, but I did do my deb.

It was Titanic themed. My partner was a childhood friend. My boyfriend of a whole month & I split up & I'd only just started a new school, so didn't have much of an option. The friend I'd actually known since the very early days of my life & he moved 4 hours away from home, in with his dad to help me out. We don't talk anymore though. Well if we saw each other in the street it'd be like old times, but his life went a very different direction to mine...

Had I known ex a little better he would've probably been my partner, but I didn't know him well enough to ask yet & he didn't say anything til after

At my table it was mostly my family, his family & the other friend we grew up with, my bestie

I spent most of the night out the front flirting with my crush I was hardly inside at all.

After party was at my house. Noone else had planned anything, so my dad offered. It was all good til one of the older boys started a fight with my crush (also a little older) & it all ended. Him mooning the taxi with the older guy in it probably wasn't the best idea...

Going with the titanic theme I was the only one who wore an older fashioned dress... no a line strapless for me High neck & puffy sleeves! Everyone told me they loved it...
