The Coalition of the Swilling

How is that a news story? Are we supposed to have some sympathy for the poor girl who missed her prom because she wore less clothes than the average hooker? That story is just a blatant and sorry excuse to show some seventeen year old skin. KHOU ought to be ashamed of themselves. Same goes for any parent that would let their girl go out in public dressed like.

Dave E. - it seems she switched dresses in the car after leaving the house in something mroe appropriate. Even so, this episode is ample evicence that parenting has been lacking up to now.

Britney Spears strikes again.

The part that's killing me is the "custom made prom dress". Even Hootchie Momma Anonymous would be ashamed of that dress ~ they'd recoil in terror at the thought.

Thank God for two things:

a) The principal's black.

b) The rule sheet they show looks pretty cut and dried.

First thing I thought? "That girl ain't got no daddy!" Then I thought, "Well, that isn't Joe Simpson."

I ain't that old, but even back when I was young(er), you had to at least bother to get to know someone to tell if they were easy. Now...well, dress for easy sex, not for looks I guess. =P

It looked as if the *student* had to sign the dress code form, so the real point is that she had no intention of following the code. And I'm with THS--shame on whoever took money from this girl and assured her it was the perfect prom outfit. I'm all for testing your boundaries, but--dumb idea.

John-I didn't catch that. I'm still kind of doubtful about the parent(s) though. They let the kid put it back on for a TV crew? If she had been my kid and pulled that crap I would have made her burn that so called dress as soon as she got home that night. No way it would have still been around to put on for a TV news crew. I still say those parent(s) need a good smack upside the head.

The fact that it doesn't cover enough of her anatomy aside, it's NOT EVEN A FLATTERING DRESS! The color is unattractive on her and the design...well, it makes me think of "sleeping in the nude, house was burning down, only thing she could grab was the bedsheet (and maybe the dust-ruffle to make that train).

Seriously, it looks like what my little cousins used to improvise for their nekkid Barbies out of handkerchiefs...

Emperor's New Clothes, I guess. They probably told her the dress was "hot."
