The Winners of the Oh Those High School Dances Blog Hop are...

This is the first blog hop I've ever hosted and you guys, it was INCREDIBLE. I had SO much fun. Major props to my co-host Emily for being so on top of things and just plain awesome. I hope you all had as much fun as we did.

What I didn't realize was picking the winners would be SO hard!

So, I closed my eyes and picked.

KIDDING. Kidding. I have my first place choices and then a whole slew of honorable mentions. So without further ado:

Best Dressed Honorable Mentions 
(in no particular order and if you click on their names you can go to their entries):

Jenny Morris - Totally sexy dress. I emailed her right after I read her post and asked if she still had it. I would go on a liquid diet to fit in that dress. Alas, she no longer has said dress. Which is fine, because I'd be miserable on a liquid diet.
Amy L. Sonnichsen - I thought this dress was stunning. Something I would totally wear.
Samantha May - Another beautiful dress on another beautiful lady. Loved the bobby-pin story too. Can totally relate.
Jess Stork - She frickin' made that dress, people! I mean, wow. Major props girl.
Hope Roberson - I LOVED getting to see every one of her dances. Everything from jeans and shorts to a hot pink dress that I'd really like to wear.
Jamie McHenry - As the only male participate he rocks with just that alone. BUT he was also Prince Charming in his church play. Not to mention he made his date sick by driving too fast...haha

Winner of Best Dressed: Suzi!!! - This is for a few reasons. First, I actually wore something a lot like this dress at a recent band gig of mine. (Though it was much shorter... haha). Second, her daughter is just as adorable as she is in the dress!


Funniest Story Honorable Mentions
(in no particular order and if you click on their names you can go to their entries):

Angela Cothran - I can totally relate to wearing a dress that was so tight I couldn't breathe. Or laugh. And I am always laughing, as I was while reading her story.
Theresa Paolo - She left her steady boyfriend (who was 22) on the dance floor by himself because she didn't like dancing and he was trying to make her. The funniest part? The only time Theresa is on the video of her high school prom is the moment she left him standing there.
Leigh Covington - Her date to prom got arrested! Enough said :)
Kate Coursey - I want to jump in these pictures and join this group of beautiful and fun ladies. ALSO, one of her friends spilled a whole bowl of soup in her lap! And... a zipper on the front of her dress. All I'm gonna say...

Winner of Funniest Story: Jaycee!!! - I was laughing through this whole story, even though at the time I'm sure none of this was funny. Everything from totally wrong hairdo, to poodle hair, to nails breaking to forgetting to put deodorant on. SO FUNNY!



Cutest Couple Honorable Mentions
(in no particular order and if you click on their names you can go to their entries):


Cassie Mae - I've heard a good bit about Cassie's hubby. It was nice to hear more and to see an incredibly adorable pic of the two of them!
Shelly Brown - The last picture of them is SO cute! You can totally see how smitten they are.

Winner of Cutest Couple: J.A. Bennett!!! - First, I want a U-haul as a party bus. That idea is awesome. But seriously, the picture at the end of this post, is SO good. 


Again, hard to choose. Thanks to everyone for participating! Because you were all willing to share these pictures and stories with us, I will give each and every one of you a query critique should you want one. Just email me at kger215(at)gmail(dot)com.


AND... my co-host, the lovely Emily R. King, has her three winners chosen as well! So go here to pop on over and see who won!


To my winners, Suzi, Jaycee and J.A. Bennett, you three get a choice of a three chapter critique or a book of your choice (under $10).


Thanks again to everyone for participating!!!
