PROM: WHAT NOT TO WEAR

Many girls today are spending more on their prom dresses than their mothers
did on their own wedding gowns.  Some wear vintage.  Some design their own
attire, in perhaps a nod to fierceness on "Project Runway."

For my prom, I wore tails.  Lisa wore a gorgeous black cocktail dress.  I
probably worried more about my outfit than she did.
















Five prom outfit DON'TS.

1. If you're pregnant, don't wear a dress with a cutout for the belly.
(Don't laugh.  I saw a frightful picture circulated a while back on the
internet that is still seared in my memory!)
2. Don't wear a matching dress with your best friend.  (It may end your
friendship.)
3. Don't wear a costume unless you're ready to be the show.
(Self-explanatory.)
4. Don't try to make a political statement.  (Let's face it don't get upset
if you're asked to leave if you're wearing a gown made out of a confederate
flag.  There's a lawsuit over it.)
5. Do not wear uncomfortable shoes. (Whining about hurt feet is a real
buzzkill.)

What did you wear?  Or what are you're glad you didn't wear? (Poor Ashley
Balyan who dressed geisha.)
