The YA Prom is hosted by Queen Ella Bee Reads and Alexa Loves Books
The YA Prom
Well, YA Prom is a lot like regular prom. But this time you can skip waiting anxiously for that perfect boy to ask you, obsessively rifling through clothing stores for the perfect dress, all that other perfect jazz, and go straight to the partying on twitter in your pajamas!
All you really have to do to join The YA Prom is:
1. Write a post detailing who your YA date is (ex: Harry from Harry Potter), what you’re wearing, and any other information you deem necessary.
2. Post said post on your blog/tumblr/wherever by June 25th at 8:30pm and link up to the Linky that will appear on both Gaby and Alexa’s blogs when their prom posts go up.
3. Pop onto Twitter at 8:30pm on June 25th and, using the hashtag #YAProm, spend an hour with your twitter friends celebrating YA, prom, and other excellent things!
Please note the following:
-If you don’t have a blog or a tumblr, you can still join us. Let everyone know who you’re going with and what you’re wearing in a tweet and use that tweet to link up on June 25th in the Linky that will be on Gaby and Alexa’s blogs.-We’d love for EVERYONE to join – authors, bloggers, book aficionados… this prom is for all of the people of the interwebs.
So, being a Scottish lass, I actually never attended prom (they only had dances in my day – and no – I’m not really old!!). Proms have taken off over here in a pretty big way but since I never actually had one to attend, I just had to take part in this!
This is what my prom night would look like:
I love floaty, shimmery dresses and this one really is stunning!
I love an updo and this is a really simple but elegant style.
I would love to wear heals but sadly I have been unable to wear them since I tore up all my muscle in the back of my calf about 6 years ago. Nevermind, flats are much more comfortable anyways!
Just the right mix of sultry and girly!
Date
Gansey from the Raven Boys Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater – the perfect boy!!
Venue
This may sound a little bit odd (but then I am a little bit odd so that fits!) but I would love the setting to be like the goblin ball in Labyrinth!!
I don’t think it’s odd at all that your perfect setting would be something like the goblin ball. That was a pretty epic movie and it would be so cool to experience something like it! The dress is gorg and the shoes are perfect! See ya at the prom! 😉
See you there!! (as long as I don’t get seduced by David Bowie and his…erm…crotch)!! 😉
The dress you chose is gorgeous!
It is gorgeous isn’t it? I would totally wear that (don’t even need an occasion lol). 😉
I love the dress and the shoes!! Everything about your prom look actually 🙂 And Gansey would be an awesome date! Although he might make you take a trip to Wales to hunt for mythological kings 😉
They are really pretty – I kind-of wish I was going!!
Gansey = <3 Lol you are totally right – he would too! (I wouldn't mind as long as he let me stop and change first – don't want to get my dress all dirty)!!
Ah, Gansey, the perfect date. Question: Will he be driving you in the Pig?
Most definitely!! 😀
Oh holy wow that dress! So pretty. And Gansey would be a perfect date!
I would <3 to own that dress! Gansey really would be the perfect date (I was totally torn between Gansey and Adrian Ivashkov but Gansey edged out the sexy vampire!) 😉
Great picks! I’m noticing a lot of peach dresses.
Thanks! Yeah, lots of peach dresses at the prom!! 😉
Oh my gosh! This is so beautiful! I love every detail!

Thanks! Oooh gorgeous dress – love the contrast between the black and the glitter – so pretty!! And Magnus!!
Oh, wow, this is magical! I watched The Labyrinth AGES ago and should really try it again. I love the dress!
Here’s my take on YA Prom: http://ofdragonsandhearts.com/2014/06/ya-prom/
Labyrinth was one of my favourite films as a youngster!! It still holds up well – you should definitely re-watch. 🙂
I love your dress selection too – it is absolutely stunning!!
GANSEY!!!!! That’s the best answer and I kinda got jealous. That’s weird right?! I mean,…right?
Not at all…Gansey is really worthy of being jealous of! 😉
Seriously though, Gansey really would make the perfect prom date. <3
He really would be the perfect date. You’d arrive in a helicopter.
Lol – I could just see that!! 😉
That dress is gorgeous! I hope Gansey and you had a dreamy evening.
Thanks – you can bet we did! Lol 😉
gah! this is all gorgeous. i love the dress & i WANT those shoes! I don’t know Gansey, but I’m sure he’s adorable. (i will read these books eventually)
They’re cute right?
Gansey is super-adorable, trust me! 😉
