it was once promising. and then he raped a young woman and now his life is garbage, because he is garbage.

If you’re a nut, it would make sense in your mind. Mentally messed up people don’t make good decisions or choices.

My dream prom:

I love everything 80's but maybe that’s because I didn’t have to live through it.

One of my prom outfits (I went to a school so small that prom and homecoming were both open to all 4 years of high school, so there were lots of formal opportunities) included some very cheap black polyester opera-length gloves that must have looked ridiculous, if for no other reason than that the gloves were…

Yes wtf was that about!

That sounds like a lovely outfit. When I went to the prom in 1993, for some reason the only prom dresses on sale in my area were short cocktail dresses. I wore a green one, which looked fine, but I would have loved to wear a nice long gown.

I really hate to wish ill will on people, but I hope Chuck Johnson has an even worse life than that which already made him into the hateful shitstain he is today.

Over-the-top narrative about over-the-top prom fantasy? Makes sense that the girl on the cover is wearing what appears to be a housecoat in a bathroom, sure.

Hell. Go put on a white dress and elbow gloves tonite, go to your local bar and live it up like you’re fucking Jackie O.

No snark to add. I’m a huge fan of Anthony Trollope whose novels are basically the Sweet Dreams series for adults (with a lot of caustic social commentary). Alas. 🍸🌹

I totally remember this book! As soon as I saw the picture of the girl (who btw was STUNNING and SO GROWN UP to my 11-year-old-ish self) I was transported back 30 years. Where can I get a copy? :-)

Basically the ONLY requirement I had for my prom outfit was that I be allowed to wear elbow length gloves. I looked fabulous (uh, for the times) but man those things got frickin’ ITCHY after about an hour of dancing.

Someone once told me that they knew someone that worked at Busch Gardens, and it never happened but was made up to cover up Fabio getting a nosebleed. I got mad and called him a liar!

The full video is pretty hilarious. I feel bad for the goddess in the front. She tries to comfort him (or just touch him, as I imagine many women in the 90s would) and he just shakes her off.

Broken nose or not he still looks amazingly good

Is this the real reason WalMart kills birds in its stores?

Oh dear me. I read this book and still remember it.

That’s “model and American citizen” Fabio, now!
