***GULP! Ok… here goes nothing! errr… WILL YOU GO TO PROM WITH ME?

(Full video prod. By @4421.co)

If you were raised on teen rom-coms like I was, you learned the importance of prom. I mean… Prom was THE quintessential climax in every film. You learned how, if you were asked, it meant that you were beautiful, and valid. You learned that being asked meant that everything would be OK because you would have the opportunity to pay $5 extra to get French tips, put a bump-it in your hair, and do the Cha Cha Slide with your crush!!!!!!! And, y’all! I wanted that! I wanted my own lil pebble-thrown-against-a-windowpane-boombox-over-the shoulder-heath-ledger-inspired-flash-mob-accompanied-by-the-high-school-marching-band moment too!! It’s just that where I lived and what I looked like made that a little difficult to acquire…SO

I’m throwing a free POETRY PROM as my REMEDIES FOR DISAPPEARING (@haymarketbooks) Book Launch and I’m promposing not only to myself BUT to ALL OF YOU. Don’t you deserve a moment to reclaim the young romance you thought was inaccessible?! Couldn’t you use a prom do-over?!
