Alex's Senior Prom... AKA: The Funk Fest







Alex is home safe and sound following his senior prom. He went stag with some guy friends (as seen here), and said he had a great time. Alex's school is getting more and more conservative with prom rules, and now they HAVE to wear gowns, tux's, high heels, dress shoes, etc. Not wanting to conform - nor should he have to (and I've taught them to fight against such things)... he wanted to design his own outfit. So, he went to some vintage thrift stores, found an old 70's white tux jacket, black pants and gloces, and a vest. He painted the jacket and it turned out really nice. He said he had to pose for a lot of photos when walking into prom, and he thought it was a big hit. But how could it not be? I especially like the faces of himself and his friend that's on his sleeve. Oh, and he did most of this in 1 night.

Just right for a big occasion. Terrific design. Perhaps Mr. M Jackson would pay a million dollars for it.
