The dance went well. He wore a blue blazer, pink oxford, VV tie and belt, blue seersucker pants, Docksiders. She wore a black spaghetti strap dress and initially wore heels that caused her to tower over him. I don't think either cared about the height thing.
When I picked up the kids at the end of the dance at 8 pm, I noticed that there was a long pile of women's shoes extending the entire length of the cafeteria.
Almost all the girls were dancing in stocking (or most likely BARE) feet.
I went with the original corsage because I had no time to search out AC Moore's corsage supplies AND fresh flowers. So if he has the grades to go to homecoming and wants to take someone, I will strongly suggest he be a little more organized about the whole thing.
