A Van Sexy Review: Awesome 80s Prom

In case you hadn’t guessed it yet, I’ll admit it, I’m a closet nerd.  Well I guess closet would imply that I don’t do anything uber embarrassing in public and the reality is most of what comes to me naturally and instinctively is uber embarrassing.  Hell, my brother dines out every night on stories of, “You won’t believe what she’s done now….” I wouldn’t change that for the world, my friends.  I love my uber geekiness and what I endearingly call my Emmisms. They are what makes me me.

Normally, these are what make me stick out like a sore thumb though.  Or get my friends saying, “Oh dear God!  What is she doing now?”.  And this is exactly why I loved last nights Awesome 80s Prom so much!!!!  Your inner geek was not only encouraged, it was celebrated!!!!  Never have I felt so at home, as you can see from the photos:

Now I know, whether you admit it or not, that you secretly hide an inner geek too and would love to relive your Prom, where that inner geekiness was totally cool.  So get out your Prom dress and call your old flame, because theres a second Prom tonight at the Alpen Club.  And best of all, the night is a fundraiser for Fighting Chance Productions, so that they can continue to bring a little more ridiculousness into our life’s.

Love and smooches,

80′s Prom Anyone?

By now it should not come as a surprise to any of you that I have an affinity to the whackie and zany.  So when I got invited to an 80′s Prom this Friday, my answer was Hell Yeah!!!  Dragging @clippernolan along as my Prom Date, as really any man that will dress up in PJs and would go to a party with me at the Opus, I figure would also be man enough to don a tacky Prom suit and escort me for the evening in whatever ridiculous party dress I decide to don.  And so not to subject Rob to my antics all on his own, I have pair of tickets to give away to one reader.

Oh and don’t worry, you don’t actually have to dance with me or dance at all, as this is actually a Fighting Chance Production in the style of Tony n’ Tina’s wedding.  A little background on what to expect:

The Awesome 80s Prom is a brand new blast-from-the-past party in the style of Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding set at Wanaget High’s Senior Prom… in 1989! All your favorite characters from your favorite ’80s movies are at THE PROM, from the Captain of the Football Team to the Asian Exchange Student, from the Geek to the hottie Head Cheerleader, and they’re all competing for Prom King and Queen. And just like on “American Idol”, the audience decides who wins! Come back in time and join the breakdance circle or just sit back and watch the ’80s drama unfold.

To win a pair of tickets, tweet, facebook or email (emme@emmerogers.com) me with a pic of you at a Prom (or some sort of similar scene) by tonight (Thurs March 18th) at 8 pm and I will announce a winner by 9 pm.

And never fear, if you don’t win a pair of tickets, you don’t need to miss the prom. You can get your Prom tickets here for either Friday March 19th or Saturday March 20th at 7:30 pm.

Can’t wait to see your Prom pics!

Emme xoxo
