You poor poor girls of Prom age.
My daughter received a catalog today from some company that sells prom dresses. (mind you my daughter is a bit overweight) and I noticed on the cover that some SI swimsuit model was modeling the designs. So I took a look and lo and behold I now know why. Because about half of those dresses were so hooker-like that the models had to be over 18 to avoid prosecution. Of course, they are all perfectly gorgeous women with almost no bodyfat and probably eating disorders to boot. I feel sorry for all of you young ladies that have to go through this shit.
I know there are a few of you girls that would look entirely gorgeous in those dresses but come on...it's a prom not a porn convention. And if my daughter wanted to go to a prom (even if she was slender) dressed like Mariah Carey of Cher...not gonna happen.

Augh! Tell me about it. I went to an out-of-the-way bridal shop for my dress.
Sorry, I thought that said "porn age".

Why do you keep mentioning your daughters over weight... :confused:
You should'nt care if your own child is over weight or not.

For a couple of reasons...first, when girls who are overweight look at dresses like that, it makes them feel bad cuz they can't/don't look like that. (or when they try, it can be a bit of a disaster..how may times have you seen heavy women in spandex or midriff exposing tops and hip huggers...not pretty) Second, I do care, not because it makes her less of a person but because I know it makes her feel bad, self esteem and all that. Third, any parent should be concerned if their kids are over or underweight. It's not generally considered healthy. I didn't mean to imply that I was overly upset about it and I love her no matter what. She has a million other qualities that exceed any of her faults. Fourth, teenage girls(and boys) are exceptionally evil when it comes to demeaning each other, which most people get over, but some never do. Kids can be cruel as evidenced by an earlier thread I came across on this board about laughing at the special needs kids in school.
And fifth, it's the whole thing about the perception of beauty in our culture and the effect it has on young people. (and older folks too...hence the huge market for beauty products, cosmetic surgery, lipo, etc etc etc)
Hope that clears it up a bit.

Ya know Beach, she's just kooky enough to wear a cinderella dress and cute enough to get away with it as well.
But where are the girls of CC?? This thread was supposed to be for them, not you clown boxing fools. Speak up ladies!! Let's get some imput here. BabyFace, Sensi, all the rest...come on ladies!!

Ah right, got ya :thumbsup:
I was just wondering. But as long as you love your children thats all that matters ;)
Yes. I am a bit stoned. Just incase u thought i spunded weird....

You poor poor girls of Prom age.
Rawr, here I am.
I'm going to prom in a tutu and combat boots. I say fuck the stereotype that all chicks gotta be 97 lbs and 5'11. That's not me. I love my body and while I'm not Lindsay Lohan i.e anorexic, I'm still pretty fuckin' hot. Haha, no but seriously..I hate dress shopping, or clothes shopping for that matter because of all the hype about how you have to dress/look a certian way. I don't feel comfortable in skirts 2 inches from my cooter and shirts that might as well be a thong.
BUT the dresses are made to attract the boys at prom, I mean come on..almost ever teen at prom is going to go to some beach house or a hotel..get smashed and sexed up. It's kind of like, right of passage.
The thing with dress shopping is though, it seems hopeless for like, weeks, and then when you think you aren't going to get a dress and just stay at home watching I Love Lucy re-runs or something, you find the perfect dress and are all excited again.

Fuck girls having to get dresses to look like a whore! What about the crimes against men!? Going to prom a dude is expected to pay for a meal, gas, a tuxedo, a limo if he so chooses, and those corney flower things, a ton of shit. giving up your dignity to me is not as bad as paying a company 300 bucks to wear their suit for a night!
fuck prom man i never went to it i ended up getting wasted at the after parties and had enough cash to buy my own shit later. And as for prom dresses being attractive on girls not to me im more into normal clothing and chicks with mohawks stretched ear lobes and tattoos... hell yea!

No offense but girls have a lot more pressure on them when it comes to formal events. A guy can walk into prom in button up shirt and a tie and still be considered dressed alright. A girl can't walk into prom in some casual summer dress or anything, it's not that easy. The amount of money girls spend on prom is probably WAY more than guys. Guys can just rent a tux anyway, not many girls can rent or want to rent a dress, a lot of girls pay for a limo (or make it a group thing), hair/makeup/nails costs way too much. A set of acrylic nails costs 50$, hair can cost anywhere from 80-300$ depending on what you're getting done. I don't know much about makeup. Prom dresses are insanely expensive and occasionally girls get WEDDING dresses as prom dersses. I mean, it's some crazy shit. If I'm gonna be dancing and having fun all night long I don't want to wear an uncomfortable dress t hat's just going to be beer/vomit/cum stained in the morning.

yea i know that was a semi sarcastic joke, but ill never understand why girls do all thatr stuff, all my life ive never cared about my appearance. the last 2 years of high school i only owned 2 pairs of pants and got made fun of often... yea girls got it bad but the dont have to conform to the mob, read the book Branded, im reading it right now for my english comp class and it will seriously make you look in the mirror and see yourself for the first time if you are all into style
-
You poor poor girls of Prom age.
I'd tell you guys why we do it but I'm really not sure. I use makeup because I think I look better with it, I dress a certian way because I'm comfortable that way, I used to get my nails done because I liked how they looked. Every girl is different though, someone may spend 3583058 billion dollars on prom because their mother/father wants them to, or someone may get their hair/nails/makeup done because they feel like they have to fit a certian standard. There's too many reasons to just try and say a few.

You poor poor girls of Prom age.
i never went to prom. i actually didnt know prom was happening til the week before it happened; i was probably too stoned to notice. i went to one high school dance, one time, and i wore a corset and had blue hair. if i'd gone to prom i'd have worn something strange -- tutu and combat boots sounds great, BabyFacedAbortion.
I agree with beachguy. if your daughter's into the idea, get her a big pretty cinderella dress. or whatever sort of nice, not whorish formal dress she can be proud of.

I never went to my proms either...no date and no money(probably spent on weed) And because I was too cool to waste my time on some damned dance. On the other hand, might have been fun. Besides...far too white and Irish to be dancing. And if my baby wants to go to the prom...she will. :)
(and like most fathers, I am in comlete denial about the whole rite of passage thing with the kegs and the motels and the skirts over the head in the back of the toyota...surely not my daughter ;) )

Anyhow, I went to my prom. I went with my then girlfriend, who- Though I care for her very much, WAS a bit zoftig- and she looked amazing. She and her mom are both slightly overweight, and they went dress shopping together until they found the perfect Cinderella type dress. Big girls usually have some tig ol bitties, and if they want to feel sexy, a push-up cinderella dress'll do it (and get the attention she wants to boot), while still retaining her modesty and making sure she's comfortable.
My advice is to skip the whole thing. I didn't make any big memories, I just got drunk, laid and passed out. BIG FUN.

I agree about the openness. My kids have been pretty open about that stuff with me and the spousal unit. And we have been open with them about our views, values and expectations of them. So far it's been a pretty good run, no one arrested, (ok, one of the sons "forgot" to pay a ticket and went in to pay it one day late,same day the bench warrant was to go in to effect, got a bit lippy with the judge who could have let him pay and leave but slapped his ass in the clink for the day,...and yes we bailed his ass out).
But no matter how open they are, they never tell you everything. Especially when it comes to a sexual assault.
My advice to you as a 14yr old, hold her hair when she pukes but don't bang her unless she's sober and willing or you'd better hope the cops find you before her big brothers do. ;)

If my daddy knew half the shit I do/did/will do..oh man...
He'd off himself.
I don't think parents really WANT to know what happens behind their backs, vs. that they actually DON'T know.
Honestly though, it doesn't matter how "supportive" you are of your child, they still won't come to you for everything. My mom and I are best friends but I don't think I'll ever tell her that like, I was just banging my boyfriend and smoking a blunt while she was in the next room. Kids DO want to save their parent's sanity for the most part.
My god do I love to ramble.

He's just in denial! Hell, my Prom night me and my "innocent" lil' date smoked a couple of joints in the parking lot then I got my pre-dance hummer. Afterwords was off to the hotel with a couple of bottles of wine, half bag of weed, and "ding ding" fuck fest 1980 began!! So what's new????

And we are grateful for that hon. (the saving of sanity and the rambling) But never forget, parents who pay attention always always know more about you than you give us credit for. We have our networks. :)
