It’s Prom Season! And What Better Way To Celebrate Than Seeing 14 Celebs Embarrassing Photos

Prom represents an exciting time in the lives of high schoolers, unless of course you were one of those seniors who couldn’t possibly manage to be bothered by attending prom because it lost its appeal by your last year. If only those seniors realized that, with the exception of graduation, prom is the last time they’ll ever be in the same room with all their friends together. But what about high school reunions, they wonder. Those don’t count. You’ll be seeing your friends not as you remember them, but as their older, fatter (usually), less fun selves…that is unless they happen to end up as celebrities!

This year’s Met Gala event was  “ManusxMachina: Fashion in an Age of Technology,”  and although many celebs chose to stick with red carpet classic stylings, dressed in only the most luxurious and elegant threads from the floor up, some attendees chose to stick with the technological theme.

He graduated Harvard in the 1870s, entered seminary, became a pastor in Massachusetts, then an academic, eventually ending up president of Western Reserve University. He came to my attention because of a book he wrote in 1912 titled,  Letters from a Father to his Son Entering College .  In this insightful volume is the following wisdom: “To save time, take time in large pieces. Do not cut time up into bits…The mind is like a locomotive. It requires time for getting under headway. Under headway it makes its own steam. Progress gives force as force makes progress. Do not slow down as long as you run well and without undue waste. Take advantage of momentum. Prolonged thinking leads to profound thinking.” Thwing, it seems, was a disciple of  deep work  a century before the term was coined. Good ideas, I suppose, are timel...
