Try going to a Texas high school. My dress was $75, and that was ONLY because I had shoes and a handbag at home, AND I was working and had the money to buy it, AND it was marked down at a fancy boutique (thank goodness for being tall and very thin), AND because of its classic cut and convervative color (silver), I can still wear it (and the shoes and the dress!) to a fancy dinner. Because I was in ROTC and had to buy military ball dresses every year, there was no way I was spending more than $100 on a stupid prom dress. I would walk into a store and head straight for the clearance rack, and if it hadn't been marked down at least twice, I couldn't afford it. In Texas, spending $600 on a prom dress isn't uncommon. Screw that - I spent $350 on my CAR. I knew a chick who spent five grand on her prom. For what, I have no idea. I didn't spend that much on my college education. Prom is a waste. A W-A-S-T-E. A waste AND a bore. I was atmine for 45 minutes, long enough to do the senior walk. (That, and my BF at the time was 26 and I didn't have the heart to make him stay much longer.)
