I remember my mother saying that when I graduated high school. She said that a lot of my classmates looked older than they actually are. My 10 year reunion is two days after my birthday (in October), so imagine how they look now.

I went to visit a collegue at the high school today, and she teaches 11th graders. WHY did they all look like they should have been enrolled in the night school GED program? :eek:

I guess that story about the 5th graders having sex is one component of the problem.

For some reason, this really doesn't bother me. Maybe because you can take the girl out the 'hood, but you can't take the 'hood out the girl, LOL. I mean, I wouldn't wear it, but I guess they're just trying to be creative? :confused: It's quite ghetto fabulous, but at least she's covered up, unlike some of these children with their stuff hanging out.

Yeah this one made me chuckle because this one is creative and not utterly inappropriate.

They appear high school age to me.

I think it's the guys facial expression that makes him appear older. The girl looks like she could be between 16 and 19 years old.



I had thought about that too. Aside from ole' Al there, there isn't anything really wrong with the outfit. * Shrug* I guess folks are creative in different ways.

Please tell me you were not talking about the Ohio and Laramie intersections (in Chicago) pics and someone told you it was Kennedy High...that is MY Alma Mater :eek: :mad:

I know this may be wrong (to want to see people look like a mess) but, I want to see some more pictures from prom 07. I know the poor taste in dresses didn't stop last year!

Dozens of Girls Booted from Prom in Louisiana for Revealing Dresses
 

MARRERO, La. — Dozens of girls were turned away from a prom at Higgins High School because a teacher thought their dresses were too revealing.

Families of the girls said the teacher cited alleged violations of the Jefferson Parish schools dress code, most of them related to excessive display of cleavage.

"I was embarrassed," said Miranda Melerine, 17, a senior at the Marrero high school, who was among those barred by teacher Judy Gardner, an adviser to senior activities. "We can't go back to prom night. Prom's over. Our prom has been stolen from us."

Melerine said she is larger-busted than many of the girls who passed inspection at the door. She said it is harder for her to get the right fit in a prom dress and that Gardner gave her blessing to a picture of the dress long before the dance.

Earlis Fayette, 18, said his girlfriend also was sent away by Gardner at the door.

"I find it's wrong, because you can't help what the girl has. You're born with that," he said. "I think it was discrimination toward a woman who has features."

Gardner refused to talk with parents who rushed to the dance hall Friday night after frantic calls from daughters. She also declined comment Saturday to The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, saying she is not allowed to talk to the press. The Associated Press could not locate her Sunday.

But Jefferson Parish schools spokesman Jeff Nowakowski said Gardner did nothing wrong and that the ones in error were girls who showed up with dresses that didn't comply with a district code that says: "A student will not wear clothing that exposes the student's back, chest or midriff."

The policy, which also strictly restricts any use of fishnet or see-through clothing, has been in effect for years and is included in a handbook that parents sign, Nowakowski said.

He said that students who didn't gain admittance Friday night were given a chance to leave and alter their dresses to bring them into compliance, and that some did that.

Twenty to 25 girls "didn't meet the code and so they were turned away because they didn't want to fix the dress in order to come inside," Nowakowski said. "It should have covered the breast, and that's not what happened last night."

Here are some pics related to the story above
 

Found this same story on the WDSU (New Orleans) site and they have a picture slide show. I don't see anything wrong with the dresses unless these are pics of what people allowed in the Prom wore.

There were 22 total but these are the ones I felt like posting.:eek:

That guy has boobs. :o

Her dress is somewhat cute.

I hope the little girl is her baby sister or niece, if not they had that kid at like 14. :eek:

:eek:

:eek: a track suit though? :confused:

:eek: and :confused: that the baby is at the prom too!

:confused::confused::confused:

What in the?!?

Are these proms being sponsored by the Snooty Fox or Magic City? :(

:) @ Snooty Fox. I say that too.

That girl's dress is nonewhat* cute.

Some of these girls look like they have had at least 7-10 kids. Bodies just sloppy.
Bless their hearts. :(:eek::(



*yes...I know "nonewhat" is not a word. :p

ETA:
I don't know that I can go one week without saying "Snooty Fox." It just seems to fit every occasion. :)

The pattern and color was cute, not the style.

For the pic with the little girl...I scrolled down slowly and was like, this looks like it could be okay, I don't see the ...WAIT...PROBLEM. CHILD. PROM. No.

I want to find the friends of these people. Seriously, friends don't let friends...

Ashanti's Sister at Prom

Her sister is the thick one with the green dress on.

Are there no mirrors in the ENTIRE city? :confused:

I saw these the other day on C&D and RhymesWithSnitch(es). An atrocity to say the least, especially the one with red hair.

About 2 (or less) of those dresses are acceptable.:mad:

i just noticed the 2nd picture, girl on the left with the cheetah print bottom -- heaven help her.

Really?!? :eek: What 2 (or less) of those dresses would you say are "acceptable"?

The Thundercat in the orange/red dress hurt my heart...a lot.
Ashanti's sister: I'm all for having body confidence, but a muffin top plus cut out dress don't mix.

I weep for the babies...and fashion sense. Oh, and their bad vision. I weep.

The top pic I quoted...the two green ones way to the left. Although I can't see the full dress...which is why I said "or less".

So Thundercat and Cheetahlicious at prom together?:p

If Panthro and Lion-O show up, I quit! :p:D
Did you peep that one slick-back, ultra-perm, DJ Quik, juices and berries looking fool in the last picture?

There is some clownery* in this dancery**!





*Thank you Mo'Nique
**Thank you MJB

Still hollering that you called her Thundercat!!!:D:D

Ashanti lost what little points she had in my book. My cousins gathered around me to make sure I went to the prom looking fly & I barely spent $200 total. How on earth if you are the 'princess' of R & B do you let your lil sister go to the prom looking like that ??

Is wearing a bra against fashion etiquette with these youngins??

http://pic40.picturetrail.com/VOL368.../260439219.jpg


I love me some pink and green, but this is too much!!:eek:

*sigh*

at times like these I'm glad I didn't have a prom

I agree. Those two look acceptable, from what we can see.

The rest of these outfits have GOTS TO GO. Like I said before, this is some of the ugliest isht I've ever seen.

Keep. It. Simple.

Don't forget to bring your baby too:eek:

I wonder if they had to pay full price for her ticket. SMH at the youth.

^^*taps the chick in the middle "'scuse me baby but you forgot the vaseline"

walks away eyes burning

That poor baby ... :(

No. They all broke in protest.

LOL @ Thundercat and Cheetahlicious

Ashanti's sister does NOT need that dress on. Wait, none of these girls need these dresses on.

:eek::eek::eek: They look like some thick Ghetto Chiquita Banana models...HOT AZZ MESS!!! Please tell me their classmates weren't cheering this on!!

At least "Thundercat" (lol) has the body for her dress. That's like the one positive statement I can make about any of those photos!

Someone help me understand why they were parading around in the parking lot. At my prom the people not attending showed up at your house to see your dress and make a fuss over you, but not hanging out at the school parking lot. Did any of your proms have street parades?
