I thought this video was terrific. It is a pre-prom party for the Boston High Prom. It looks like even little sister got all dressed up for the event. I adore the classic table spread with finger sandwiches and dainties. Mom must have gone all out, just like I would.
I love the beautiful dresses. Last year many friends posted photos of their daughters in their prom dresses online. What a disappointment. They were wearing these tiny strapless bubble dresses with no shape. The dress manufacturers made a killing last year. Parents everywhere were spending over one hundred dollars for under a yard of fabric. I really wanted to say, they looked beautiful, but, the girls looked like street walkers. This year, from what I can see, there seems to be a lot more variety. A few friends said their daughters ordered vintage gowns online. I think that is great, vintage dresses are better made, classic designs which means they can be sold again and good for the environment.
I have a problem with the music they play at proms. It is as depressing as when they start blaring the rap music with raunchy lyrics at weddings. I always cringe because I know, as I call it, "the Drunk Girl Shuffle" is going to start. I know everyone is familiar with it. It is when the ladies kick off their shoes and bop around with a beer bottle in their hand, pointing at friends and singing the wrong song lyrics. So unsophisticated. I think they should play big band music or classic jazz at weddings and proms. I remember being all decked out in my very puffy, eighties, electric blue gown and dancing to "Walk like an Egyptian", by the Bangles. It just kind of lost something. I wanted something dreamy and romantic, I did however, marry my prom date. Good times.
