PROM DRESS PROBLEM? NOT REALLY
02/22/2012
So before I start working on my reviewer for my second exam tomorrow, somebody just told me a story about his mother’s prom dress problem for her daughter (ergo his sister). They bought her a dress weeks ago in preparation for later’s prom. Then he told me that his mother was feeling quite bad that her daughter will be wearing a cocktail dress instead of a gown. They were okay with that dress when they bought it but it came to my attention that their neighbor’s daughter will be going to the prom in a gown.
Really? That’s a problem??? Even if money is a constraint, I highly doubt they can not find a decent gown in the same price range of the cocktail dress. I was quite silently fuming and I was preventing myself from lashing out and saying that it was a ridiculous problem. If Lindsey-fucking-Wixson can work a Jason Wu cocktail dress to her prom, then other girls can fucking rock a cocktail dress too. Okay, they might not be that statuesque with legs for days but the point is, I personally think that gowns in proms are fucking passé. Heck even Karlie Kloss wore this non-gown Jason Wu to her prom!!!


What irks me the most was that they felt good and okay buying the cocktail dress UNTIL they found out that their neighbor will wear a gown. Ugh. Human beings are inherently insatiable.
