The anchors' throwback photos inspired us to ask TODAY viewers: Do you have an awkward or awesome prom picture?

The response, as you'll see, was fantastic:

Trisha Mohl: I went with my neighbor Brian. My mom took me to her hairdresser. I think when she heard "prom," she was thinking of her prom in 1955 and gave me a bouffant! This was 1985. Horrible!
