Red Monday ~ Color Challenge
Some shots of the Queen Mary In Long Beach, California.
I must have forgotten to charge my camera battery today! I did manage to get a few shots though.
My senior prom was on the Queen Mary! Back in those days it was party time. Lots of my friends rented rooms and they were the first class rooms on the ship. With names like the Churchill suite etc. The dance was in the Grand Ballroom. I remember thinking that in the days when the boat was new 99% of us kids would never have been allowed anywhere near any of that stuff. We would have been down in the bottom of the boat and locked away... no kidding!
The red stacks look pretty cool. The coal smoke that used to blast out of them was not so cool! Haha. Times have changed :)
Gracias pix!
Could hardly see the red colour from afar!
Thailand is quite far ; )
Quite right! I am using my crystal ball!

Would have loved to have crossed the Atlantic in that ... in first class of course:)
First class all the way! It would have been great. Have you ever been on one of these oldies? Even the best rooms are a little smaller than you might imagine. Beautiful wood paneling and furniture. The service would have been fantastic too. The bars and dining rooms are really cool too.
I have yet to have the privilege but a girl can dream:)
I skipped my senior prom. Maybe if they had held it on the Queen Mary I would have made an effort! Meh, probably not. I would love to tour the ship, though! It looks pretty cool.
My senior year it was full on party with no limits at all. The entire class would all be in jail and the faculty and staff of the boat too if it happened like ours nowadays. And it was still the usual High School stuff. I wouldn't mind a bit of a do over. As in i should have left with "Kathy" when she invited me to go to her house at about 4:00 am. Duh! What was i thinking? Oh well...
You're probably right! Now they get in trouble for every little thing. My son had a party when he turned 18 and a couple of the kids were out drinking in the woods (unbeknownst to me). It turned into a whole big thing that they devoted a school board meeting to. I was a bit of an anarchist in high school and couldn't be bothered with school events. Sorry you missed the Kathy boat. Ah, the things that might have been... It does sound like your prom would have been worth attending!

It's so extreme nowadays. I wouldn't want to be a kid with all that pressure. Our schools are like jails now.
They really are. It's a miracle that any of them come out okay.
