Did you go to your prom?
What did you wear? Colors?
Were you prom king/queen?
Did you go with someone special or friend?
What was your prom theme?
How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have ish prices?

Tell me all.

Ok...So I am reading this and had to pull out the calculator..LOL! Then it hit me like a TON OF BRICKS...I graduated H.S. 15 YRS ago!!!

Now I know that I went to the prom and wore a pink dress with some puffy sleeves. Me and my best friend went together beacause our dates were fools..lolol! I can not remember the theme...I'll have to find the year book and get back to you !

Did you go to your prom?
Yes.

What did you wear? Colors?
I wore a pretty gold dress that I got for like 75% off at Boscov's

Were you prom king/queen?
No way, I was in no way one of the "popular" crowd.. although everyone knew me

Did you go with someone special or friend?
I went fidolo... is that right?? anyway it was alone

What was your prom theme?
hmmm.... wow... I am only 20 years old... and I don't remember!

How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have ish prices?
I think ours was $75

Definitely wasn't the prom of my dreams.. pretty lame in fact.. oh well.. I don't really miss high school much anyway.

Did you go to your prom? Yes

What did you wear? Colors? I wore a cute little baby blue dress I got from JC Penney at the last minute

Were you prom king/queen? No, but I was nominated

Did you go with someone special or friend? My official date was the friend of the guy I REALLY wanted to go with. I ended up with my group of friends most of the night though.

What was your prom theme? Make it last forever...or something like that

How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have ish prices? I don't remember. I do remember paying for the entire ticket (jerk didn't give me his half of the money). I remember getting to the prom an hour BEFORE my date after driving around in the limo looking for him to pick him up. I also remember how my jaw almost hit the ground when we walked in with his hair PRESSED, looking like a d*mn pimp and whatnot. Needless to say, my prom night was not magical.

**He apologized to me for that like 3 years after the fact. Although it didn't make up for the fact that he spoiled my prom, I did appreciate it because the apology was sincere.

HOUSTON—Marche Taylor’s prom night experience wasn’t what you would call “the norm.”

That’s because instead of a night of dancing and hanging out with friends, the Madison High School senior ended up in a confrontation with school officials and escorted out in handcuffs. Officials said her dress was inappropriate for the prom.

“I actually like the dress. Everybody else likes my dress,” Taylor said.

Madison High’s prom took place at the Sugar Land Marriott, but Taylor only got as far as the lobby. When she tried to enter the ballroom, an official stopped her.

She tried to blame it all on the tailor and said "Well, I think we shoulda been able to get in the prom with whatever we had." Umm, no, there were rules to follow, sweetie.

Was she on a local or nationally-syndicated radio show? Did anyone attempt to set her straight or at least play devil's advocate?

I wish one of my nieces would try to get away with a dress like that, but I'm sure a dress like that wouldn't cross their minds. I hope other kids have learned to keep their video girl aspirations out of the prom. Save that for after graduation.
