I never really understood the garter thing at prom. I didn't wear one to mines but all the other girls there had one and thought it was cute. I say save the garter for your wedding day!

HOW do people let their kids leave home like this? How do they authorize the making of such dresses?

Soror, that is always what I think when I see these pix. I know that I grew up in a different generation under different circumstances, but there are some things that parents need to do regardless of whether they are married, single, affluent, whatever.
And one of those things is to stop hypersexualizing their kids.

hey, my .9mm is already ready, and will "ventiliate" the first misguided highschool dude that tries messing with mine.

Promdate for TonyB06's daughter: "But Mr. TonyB06, it's just the gart...."

me (in my Tony Montana voice): "Say hello to my little friend--->BLAM, BLAM, BLAM

CTHU.

this reminds of the first time i ever went on a date. PoppaBuddha had a talk with the gentlemen and for some reason he never called me again.

my father use to take pictures of all the guys i dated and when i asked me why? he said so they can identify the bodies for later use.

PoppaBuddha = Ole School!!! Now that's what I'm talkin' bout!!!

These saggy-pants wearing' dudes today need to learn the brutal, but clear, lessons of homeboy history --- mess with the wrong person's chile, and you will disappear, likely never to be heard from again.

Help me out Marie. Is the garter ceremony at the prom like the one at weddings? What is the purpose? I can't imagine some horny high school guy being able to put his hand up some girl's dress and make it classy, but that's just me!

Tony & MaMaBuddah...handle yours!! I know that is right!

These little girls have more breasts and thighs on display than Popeyes.

I don't undertand.... NONE of my friends (or non-friends, for that matter) had on the foolishness that kids wear today. Even the "fast" girls had their bodies covered. What a difference eight years make!

I think that the students should be barred from admittance with such dresses. I would even go so far as to say that their parents should be issued some sort of citation for indecent exposure of a minor. The madness must stop!

Garter ceremonies are big here. And some girls get real elaborate with their garters. It runs from something simple like a few rhinestones and you and your date's name and date to stuff looking like a mini feather boa ( one girl's was so thick, it looked like she was packing heat to her prom.) It used to be you sat down and the guys lifted your skirt very respectfully. Nowadays the splits in the dresses are so high you see the garter as she walks in which I think is too tacky. I think why some of these dresses turn out like they do is because the girls have no real guidance as to style the dress, and what is deemed appropriate. I wish I would have thought of wearing some of the stuff I saw this year. My mom would have cancelled my prom altogether.

OK...then what? Does the guy take the garter off? What does he do with it? Do most girls have their garter on their thigh? I know when I got married I kinda pulled mine down to right above my kneed before my hubby took it off. None of that whole head under the skirt for me! We might get freaky in the bedroom, but I ain't doing it for the whole world to see!

Did I just say that???

Oops, I am late. I guess I didn't read the all of the replies. The pictures I was referring to were already posted.

Shoot even today, 12 years later, if my mom saw pics of my prom from '93 and it looked like that - I would still get a beat down.

Beatdowns have no expiration dates in her opinion.
