- [Jazzmyne] Everybody prepares for this high school moment,
dresses, and their limos.
There's movies and there's TV shows,
a whole genre dedicated to prom.
- I'm Lindsay.
- And I'm Jazzmyne.
I was prom queen.
- And I've never been to prom.
So this week we're going back to high school.
So in highschool, I was actually pretty shy.
I had a perspective of prom where it was like,
that's where the cool, popular girls go,
and it's just like not my crowd.
It wasn't even a big decision,
I was just like, yeah of course I'm not going.
- Really?
- Yeah, I didn't go to any dances
except for like my choir banquet.
- I was surprised to be nominated.
I didn't even vote for myself.
I voted for my friend Andrea.
- That's why you won. - Probably.
- 'Cause you're so giving.
I definitely don't regret not going to prom,
but, the one I totally missed out on
that I really wanna experience is like,
pre-prep going to prom.
Like, the promposal, the shopping for your dress.
- I went to prom with two dates.
I walked in like this.
And I felt like I was the king of the world.
But one of them ended up making out with someone else.
(record scratch)
- So we have a busy prom week.
You need to ask me.
So you need to prompose to me.
And then we have to get your dress.
- [Lindsay] Oh my god, I'm so excited for this part.
- I'm not worried about the pre-pro of it,
I'm worried about going to prom with like, cool teens.
- Yeah, like who do we sit with?
Do we eat dinner with people?
Do we have to mingle?
Are they going to accept us into the teen community?
- I was leaving like, my bible study with all my friends,
and then I walked outside and he had his truck there,
and he was playing "Breaking Free."
And he was just there being like,
"will you go to prom with me?"
and I was like, "how can I say no to Troy and Gabriella?
Yes, I'll of course go to prom with you."
- Hello everybody.
- [Group] Hi.
- Welcome to Mission: Promposal.
So I had to do all the work for this promposal.
I was really nervous that I couldn't think of something
amazing and great, but then I realized,
let's just break it down.
What does Jazzmyne like?
Here's the things she likes.
(laughter)
She loves Cardi B, her favorite flower is Sunflowers,
and she also loves fried chicken.
I think there should be a scavenger hunt involved.
- I think that we should find all of the like,
most popular Cardi B lyrics and that'll help us
figure out what to put in the scavenger hunt.
- [Lindsay] Correct.
I just got word that Jazzmyne just arrived,
and I'm trying to stay out of sight.
There's a window over there that I can kind of like, see.
I think she should arrive with security.
And security hands her one sunflower and a note.
- Oh my god. (laughs)
you're lookin' like a snack, or maybe a whole meal,
go to the spot that has the banana peels.
Is that The Cantine?
(laughs)
- I'm gonna see Jazzmyne.
She has a sunflower.
- This is my favorite flower, so she did good.
(laughs) Wow.
Go to the people who send you your paycheck, accounting?
Where's accounting?
- I think she's gonna be really confused with this clue
because I don't think she has any idea where accounting is.
They're coming in through the side door.
And they're gonna be like just as excited as me,
I'm like so excited.
- Caught a lick, where do you go to take your IG pics?
I'm guessing this is the blue wall?
- It would be cool though with that it was outside,
that we get like everyone to come outside.
Like kind of like how high schools will like,
bring everyone out into like a parking lot, or something.
Everybody come outside.
All right come outside, come outside, come outside.
Everybody lineup on the sides from the door,
like all the way to the sign okay?
And then I wanna end on a giant sign outside that says
"Prom, okurrr?"
Wait I gotta get my, oh I gotta get my flowers.
And then also have sunflowers, and fried chicken
as gifts.
- All right she's coming.
(laughs)
- Yeah!
(crowd cheering)
- Oh my god.
Yup this is it, this is it.
Thank you.
It was so like cute, and the little scavenger hunt,
with all the rhymes, and to end it
with my beautiful best friend and some chicken.
- I feel like friends should do it too,
like, promposal shouldn't be reserved
for just romantic people.
- Mmm mm.
(all cheering)
- I'm crying.
- I think it was senior year.
I forgot that I asked a freshman to prom,
like jokingly, and he thought I was serious,
and he showed up to prom ready to go,
but I didn't have a ticket for him,
I feel bad, it still haunts me to this day.
- All right we're going to prom dress shopping.
I have all my friends in the car.
I just feel like when you go prom dress shopping,
you bring your friends right?
- Oh I went with my mom too.
- Wow. - Oh!
(gasps)
- It's like a little Barbie.
- Oh my god I love this one.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
I feel like teens now, with just the simplicity
of having the internet, and social media,
and comparing your prom dress to the Met Gala,
teens have such high expectations.
Like, when I was in high school,
it was just like go to your local department store,
you know, whatever.
No one really got prom dresses online.
Now, teens go all out.
Like, prom was already such a big thing,
but in today's day and age, it's a bigger thing.
- Oh my god.
We ended up picking up like 35 dresses.
We like walked in there with like a game plan.
And grabbed as many dresses that we liked in your size.
Nothing here is exactly what she said she wanted.
So anything she picks is gonna pretty much be a wild card.
- Oh yeah, we made sure there's a lot of wild cards.
You know, it started off kind of rocky.
Nothing was speaking to me. - Yeah.
- Ooh, what's going on there?
Wow, no.
- [Jazzmyne] Just no.
- My beloved Joffrey.
- My beloved Joffrey!
- [Everyone] Ooh.
- [Camera Woman] I hate it too actually, it's okay.
- Oh!
- Wow, we've talked about things being so ugly
that they're cute, I was hoping for that moment,
but it was just ugly.
- It was just ugly.
(laughs)
All right.
- [Camera Woman] Oh this one, this one.
- There was one that was so beautiful that I loved,
but they didn't have it my size so we had to like,
put it to rest.
- [Camera Woman] Wow.
- I initially wanted to go in looking for a princessy,
sparkly, just like over the top.
Because it's prom, that's like the one time you can do that.
If this is like my prom moment,
I wanna feel like I'm in something.
- Something more.
- [Camera Woman] Oh, mama. - [Jazzmyne] Okay.
- [Lindsay] We got down to two that we really liked.
- [Jazzmyne] And it was like total opposites too.
- [Lindsay] But not something I was like not expecting
to wanna get for prom.
But that one like spoke to me the most.
I got the prom dress, I'm not gonna show you the bag
because it's a secret.
- It looks really good.
- But we had a really hard time deciding.
I'm excited, are you excited?
- I'm so excited, I'm not even going.
Can I just be the mom that takes pictures before?
- I was with a girlfriend,
and we're going to go to prom together.
And it was going to be amazing,
but then I got a hernia,
and I literally had surgery on prom night.
- We gotta get going because I don't have my earrings.
I don't have a bag, I gotta get my nails done.
Also I woke up and my neck hurts so bad,
and I'm like, this would never happen to a teen
on their prom day.
Like, this is some mid 20s (beep).
Usually for a normal event, I just like
get ready for that event like an hour or two
before the event.
Since this was prom, had to get my nails done,
I didn't have a bag yet, I didn't have my earrings yet.
I was like running around town at like 9 am.
I think these are our only options so,
might just have to make one of these work.
(beep) failed me you guys.
I went in, they had no sparkly earrings,
I wanted long, just diamond whatever.
And the only diomond-ey things they had we're these
tiny little studs, so, I guess this is gonna be more
of a simple look now.
I didn't like any of the bags, and I wanted gold,
because the dress is like orange-ey,
and every time it think of orang-ey, I think of gold,
I don't think of silver.
But I'm at the nail salon now.
Oh man, I feel like the dress would just look better
with long earrings.
God I look terrible, but look how good my nails look.
We found a color that looks just like the dress.
Bam!
In order to do this video,
we obviously had to find an actual high school prom.
Which was really difficult to do.
But, we found a LA homeschool prom.
Which was like perfect for us,
because we're not homeschooled,
but like we didn't go to the school either.
- Yeah.
- Okay, I just got to the hotel,
and the prom jitters are already starting because,
I walk in and there's so many teen in the lobby,
like with their dresses and stuff,
and I'm like.
I am doing my own prom makeup.
I feel like a lot of times,
I see people get their prom makeup done,
which sounds exciting and cool but, I don't know,
I was kind of just like, I just wanna do my own prom makeup.
I think I'm just gonna do something super basic,
with eyelashes, and a red lip.
Any time I walk around, I'm gonna feel like
I need to explain myself why I'm going to prom,
even though to other people I might just look like 18.
- You will.
Me? Ill look like your aunt.
- All right this is us practicing
our PG dance moves tonight.
(awkward music)
- This is, now see that's too sexy Jazz.
I felt really good in like my outfit, and Jazz's outfit,
and just like, we felt really confident.
So, it was just like fun to dress up
regardless of how the night would go.
(cheering)
- How do we look so cute?
I really love it.
- Oh I'm getting my train.
- Oh, oh, oh.
I love it.
- I feel like me still, I feel elegant, I feel comfortable.
- My dressing picking came like a few days
before prom actually.
I was going to wear like a suit,
and then I just went shopping for another video,
and found this beautiful pink ruffled dress.
I wish I would've worn Nikes to prom.
- Right? I think more people should.
- Yeah.
- All right so final step.
- Corsage! - Corsage!
- One, two, three.
It's just like a little flower.
- Of course a corsage moment
was essential to the prom experience.
- [Jazzmyne] Yes. - [Both] Woo!
- It's so cute.
- It really is.
- It goes with your outfit.
- These are like wristwatches.
- What time is it?
Prom time, ew.
(dance music)
- All right so it was time to go to prom.
We got in our Uber XL.
- We we're gonna get a limo
because that's what prom kids do,
but it was like down the street.
- Literally, so we got into our car,
and we could see the venue from the car.
But we got a car.
- We just needed to arrive in something.
How are you feeling, Jazz?
- I'm feeling good,
I kind of just got really nervous though.
- I know, but I'm just glad that we're doing it together,
'cause if I was going by myself, i'd feel horrible.
- Oh my gosh, yeah. - scared.
Hopefully the food is good.
I got the chicken, did you get the chicken?
- I got the chicken.
- Hi Lindsay.
- I hope you have a magical time at prom.
- Dress up, this is like your mini Met Gala.
- Do something really cool with your makeup,
'cause I know that you're capable.
- Have fun, have a blast.
This is the time of your life.
You're never gonna get it again, girl.
- Don't go, just buy a car or something.
There's so many other things you could do
besides spending money on prom.
- Just don't make out with your ex.
- We got to the venue, which was Skyspace.
We started going up the elevator to 70 floors.
Ooh there's us.
Oh my god, I'm scared of heights.
- I'm terrified of heights.
- It started setting in like, what are people gonna think
when we walk in like, "what are you doing at our prom?"
you know?
Like I was scared for the teen angst.
- Yeah.
- Oh my god, everyone looks so pretty.
The room was just friends, and nice,
and so many people came and talked to us.
So many people that watch BuzzFeed.
- [Both] Oh my god.
- And the rain stopped, and so there was a rainbow.
- Took pictures outside with the beautiful view.
Prom! - Ah!
- Jazz didn't wanna go down the Skyslide.
- No.
- I'm about to go on the Skyslide,
which is a slide that is like, completely see through.
And you can see all of LA under you.
Oh my god.
We had spotted a table with a bunch of teens.
- Yeah, they we're all really cool.
- I made a friend.
Is this your fist homeschool prom.
- Yes, yeah it is.
- (gasps) it's our first, together.
This is so fun because we looking at everyone's outfits.
Ooh, the lights just, oh.
- Not from the teens. - from the teens.
- Not from the teens. - No.
Like an adult from downstairs,
when we we're looking out the window.
We're gonna go dance now.
(dance music)
- We started dancing when they were playing music.
They were playing all the music that we listened to
when we we're younger.
♪ I just can't look, it's killing me ♪
♪ I'm a sucker for you ♪
- It became so clear when we we're there
that I was old man. - Yeah.
I wanted a cocktail real bad,
but I can just imagine that I was their age and a teen,
like would've just had a blast.
I was surprised at what prom turned out to be.
But also not surprised at all.
The magic of prom is the people you surround yourself with.
- For sure.
- Looking back, I didn't go to my prom
mostly because the people that did
weren't really the people I hung out with.
And I don't think I would've had fun.
But, it was really cool as an adult
to kind of just dress up and go through the motions.
- Would you recommend teens go to their prom now?
- Prom isn't the end all, be all.
Go if you wanna go, don't go if you don't wanna go.
- Go and dance for a little bit, then leave.
Get that free desert, and then go.
- Oh man I forgot the cake!
- Yeah.
- I forgot the cake! - Oh you didn't eat it.
I ate the bread pudding.
- Oh I forgot.
Prom2k19.
- [Lindsay] Looks like you do something next Jazzy Jazz.
What did you wanna do in high school?
- Um, I was gonna say something but it's so not approptiate
so, let's just cut.
