Oh What A Night: The Pastel, Poufy, & Gothic Prom Gowns Of Generations Of Jezebels
Wow. You guys really outdid yourself with this month's prom edition of Past Fashion. Nearly a hundred of you submitted photo evidence of your various prom night horrors, and you did not disappoint. There were dozens of hues of pink, sparkles and sequins, and bushels of smooshed young breasts yearning to breathe free under ornate bodices. As can be expected, there were also many cheesy backdrops, goofy poses, awkward teenage boys, and even a few convention busters: a couple of the Jezebels were ballsy enough to go to the prom in drag! After the jump, check out our gallery of the end-of-the-school-year's most absurd, boozy spring evenings, with a little help from our face-obscuring friend Duckie (we've plastered the Duckster over some visages to protect the innocent be-mulleted from their past fashion train wrecks).

An Ugly Prom Dress Is A Rite Of Passage
The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing and as the school year is drawing to an end for elated students and teachers alike, those hormonal adolescents have one thing on their mind: Prom! Even if you've never been a bridesmaid, you probably still got your hair did, slapped on some acrylic French manicured claws, and zipped yourself into a monstrosity of a prom gown. In honor of our misspent youths, the June edition of Past Fashion is dedicated to pictures of readers in their prom finery (that's me on the left with the excellent posture as a sophomore at Irvington (NY) High, c. 1998. Dress from Bebe at the mall, y'all). We want to see you in all your awkward glory, so send photo submissions to photos@jezebel.com along with your name (or username), location, and the date the photo was taken. Don't forget to include any charming anecdotes about drinking too many 40s and passing out in the back of the party van, not that I know what that's like or anything. Submissions are due by June 20th, so start sending those snaps in ASAP!

It Was The Best Of Times, It Was The Worst Of Times: A Gallery Of Not So Gorgeous Bridal Fashions
Hi guys! And greetings from the world of Big Ponies! So way back when I was still a full-time Jezebel, I asked you to send me pics of the best-worst bridal party dresses you've ever worn. And I have to say: You're all a bunch of chickens. You totally weenied out on me!

After the jump, the gallery of the brave, the strong, the survivors of the worst hells bells has to offer.More »

Always A Bridesmaid; Always An Ugly Bridesmaid Dress
Are you neither black, nor Christian, nor a lover of animals? In other words: Have you not be able to participate in our "Past Fashion" posts? This may be your lucky day. Have you ever been looked in the eye by an otherwise loving friend or relative and been told to wear the same dress that nine other girls will also be wearing? The May installment of Past Fashion is all about your best-worst bridesmaids dresses. I have only been in one wedding, my cousin Amy's, and though the dress was "chocolate" (i.e. brown), it was nice enough. (That's me on the left.) But surely you've been subjected to worse forms of bridal torture. And we want evidence! Email your submissions to photos@jezebel.com with "Past Fashion: Bridesmaid Dresses" in the headline, and be sure to include all the gory details. Like the insane "color" of the dress (burnt tangerine! misty aubergine!) and tidbits about drunken groomsmen or bridezillas who made you cry. And don't forget your name (or username), location and date the photo was taken. We'll be accepting submissions until May 18 and want the absolute best of your bridal party worst.
Nightcaps
Ladies, did you miss our 'Past Fashion: Pets' post from earlier? If so, you missed out. In addition to the animals — cats, dogs, hamsters, cows, a chimpanzee — there are some awesome fashions and hairstyles from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and yes, 90s on display. Here's Gallery 1, and here's Gallery 2. And remember: you can comment on the main post itself or give commenter love on the individual picture pages.

When Animals Attract: Your Cuddly Childhood Creatures
As I've said before, adopting a pet is perhaps the most masochistic thing we humans can do to ourselves. We develop affection, friendship, and unconditional love for our companion animals, all with the knowledge that we will be completely bereft and broken-hearted when we (inevitably) outlive them. But the upside of that total buzzkill (sorry) is that those of us who grew up alongside animals are lucky to have experienced those emotions; through them, we were given the tools to cope with love and loss, specifically, the ability to understand that just because loved ones are out of our lives, the impacts they made remain. So it goes with this month's Past Fashion feature, which focuses on pictures of Jezebel readers and their childhood pets and is jam-packed with warm, fuzzy feelings. (Someone had a kitten named Jezebel! Some of you had farm animals! One girl was lucky enough to have a monkey!) A gallery of the kids and their cute critters, after the jump. More »
