You poor poor girls of Prom age.

[bonsaiguy]

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.

Why do you keep mentioning your daughters over weight...

You should'nt care if your own child is over weight or not.

Why do you keep mentioning your daughters over weight...

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!!

LOL, you should've put their names in the title of the thread.

Instead of poor, poor girls.
