Ashley
1. Favorite 80's Fashion: Legwarmes, spandex and wayfare sunglasses
2. Favorite 80's Toy: Barbies and She-Ra Princess of Power!
3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: Last year my boyfriend and I attended 80s Prom, but it wasn't without the typical prom night drama. The evening before the big night, we got into a huge fight and broke up. As a girl, breaking up right before prom is tragic!! Of course I had my outfit all picked out and ready to go! The afternoon of Prom, we talked briefly on the phone and decided to still go, despite the break up. I was hesitant to believe we could still have a good time. That night, when I was all dressed, he knocked on my door. When I opened it up, he was standing there, dressed, in all his 80s glory, holding a boom box over his head playing Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes". My very own Say Anything moment! We kissed and made up and headed to prom where we had the best night. We danced all night, played PacMan and we fell in love all over again! We even became finalists in the the 80s outfit contest. Also worth mentioning, Ashley wore Doc Marten boots under her high school prom dress for her big night back in Detroit. |

Molly
1. Favorite 80's Fashion: Socks over jeans/pegged jeans
2. Favorite 80's Toy: Atari
3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: My husband and I attended both of my 80s proms together. After dinner of my first prom, and before the actual prom, the minute we walked out of the restaurant, he vomited (a combination of nerves and eating too much). He managed to keep his white tux clean, however, using an umpire-like move each time he vomited (you're safe!). |

Tina
1. Favorite 80's Fashion: Slap on bracelets- yeah!
2. Favorite 80's Toy: My little ponies
3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: I was quite the ugly duckling in high school- I have the yearbooks to prove it! I was an awkward girl but strived so hard to wear the right clothes and look cute. However, like those Jenny Jones shows from back in the day, I went from Not to Hot!- I am now a local represented model and former Miss Virginia International 2008. I know how to rock a crown! Being a former nerd is fabulous- it allowed me to develop non socially cool hobbies and interests and while I was far from Prom Queen then I would love to be one now! Thanks! (my photo is my cover shot I did for On Tap a while back) |

3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: I didn't go to my own prom in '96 & I love the 80s!I was born in '78, came to the US in '79 & grew up in the 80s as a carefree & happy kid...dancing to the 80s music, watching the 80s movies & falling in love with the decade and the US all at the same time.So the 80s has a special place in my heart. |

Tammy
1. Favorite 80's Fashion: Side Pony Tail with Metallic Scrunchie
2. Favorite 80's Toy: Cabbage Patch Dolls- their butts smelled like baby power!
3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: The night of prom my girlfriends and I decided to go "No Undies" for a bit of fun and spice. Needless to say, when "Doing the Butt" came on, we "did the butt" by flashing our "Full Moons" at the teachers. That was a short prom night as we were kindly escorted out of the buliding. It was so worth it though! Who says a full moon isn't romantic? |

Miranda
1. Favorite 80's Fashion: Belly Pouches around the waist for easy access of whatever you need, anytime you need it!
2. Favorite 80's Toy: My Buddy Doll (the doll for boys, but just too cute not to have one as a girl as well!)
3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: For my senior prom, my mom and dad decided to chaperone our dance, without my knowledge or permission. You can imagine my emarrassment and surprise to show up with my date at the dance and find my parents greeting my peers and classmates at the door. The entire night was filled with my mom following me like a shadow, taking photos for my Senior Scrapbook, and my dad, "cutting in" to have "this dance" with me. Prom to me was more of a family event then a date night. As much as I hated it then, I now have a scrapbook full of Prom Night Photos of me, my date, my mom and dad! |

3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: My friend forgot her tickets to the senior prom and had to call her mom to come bring them to her because they wouldn't let her in.. The rest of the night she spent watching her best friend and his girlfriend fight, and listened to her boyfriend complain about how he was ready to go home. Needless to say no one got any that night. Shea for Prom Queen! |

Vesna
1. Favorite 80's Fashion: Frankie Say Relax Oversized TShirts
2. Favorite 80's Toy: Atari
3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: I agreed to be someone's date just to go to the prom, even though he was a total nerd and pretty homely. Anyway he said his chauffeur would pick me up in front of my house night of the prom. I get all my friends and family together to wait. He shows up in a beat up, 1970s Chevy Nova driven by one of his high school buddies (his chauffeur). It was embarrasing. We had to push aside the empty McD's bags and beer cans to get in. Nevertheless I ended up going home with a different guy that evening - and got a ride home in a limo! |

3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: During my senior prom- our limo got lost- REALLY lost. It took about an hour to get back on track- meanwhile we missed our dinner reservation and almost missed prom. Not only that- when the limo couldn't even find the place and we had to run through |

Amy
1. Favorite 80's Fashion:Acid washed dress with neon accessories
2. Favorite 80's Toy: Smurfs Figurines (which she still has!)
3. Best Prom story/Why they deserve to win: Amy and I hit most of the 80s parties together in the DC area. She is my best friend and she deserves to win Prom Queen at this 80's Prom! Amy and I went to the 80s Prom at the Black Cat last year and, even though I was a guy dressed as an 80's mess of a Prom Queen, I ended up winning Prom Queen. I let her wear my fluorescent crown with cheap jewels glued on it, but it wasn't the same. :) Amy Tubbs for 80s Prom Queen! She will wear it proudly and will represent!! |
