I would never let my child wear a dress like that. EVER.

That's not a dress, it's a bathing suit.

On another note: I saw my cousin off to the first of her proms this season, and she was beautifully and tastefully dressed.

And if I were the mother of the young man that was her date, I would not let him go with her. Someone should have checked her at the door...before she left the house *SMH*

This whole thread is a mess! I almost died from laughing so hard and I was at work trying not to laugh on the phone with customers. The "Gary Coleman in a sea of darkwashed denim" did it for me...I almost flatlined at that one. The "Thundercat" was a classic, lol. Thanks for brightening up my day. *smile*

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.

This is what happens when parents choose not to parent.

Sorry to crash, but since when are ribbons and a mini-skirt formal attire? did I miss that memo? Thankfully, the freeway was closed so I couldn't chaperone prom this year.

I know, right? I can tie my daughter's hair with that.

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.

It was a local one. I was rushing for work and I had just pulled into the parking garage, but I did hear the DJ's trying to tell her that she was wrong. She started getting upset and was telling them that everyone didn't know the whole story.

She also mentioned that she and her mother are on bad terms and she was raised by her grandmother. Supposedly, her grandmother had seen the dress and had no problems with it.

I find that hard to believe. I wore a short skirt (3 inches above the knee) to a dance and my grandfather stopped me. He wanted to know if my mother knew that I wore handkerchiefs for skirts. He then went on to tell me that I was "going to get arthritis in my legs" from the cold air. The dance was in June.

I don't believe her. Her grandma may have seen A dress but she didn't see THAT dress. Unless grandma is 39-40 years old then it may be possible.
