Once, it used to be just HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH YOUR SWEETIE AND YOUR CLASSMATES.....

And now, it's come to.... THIS???? (Link Courtesy The DENVER POST) (http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_3767963):eek:

Somehow, the very IDEA of this.........the art of HAVING FUN taking a BACK SEAT the OPULENCE of LUXURY and, frankly, DECADENCE........

Just SMACKS of WASTEFUL SELF-INDULGENCE!:mad:

Makes a person WONDER just WHERE today's society's PRIORITIES lie?:confused:

Never went to mine - I've always thought they were overrated. :shrug:

I was never much for Prom. When I was a kid, we ditched Prom and went to the beach.

Now, I have a 17 year old who is all excited about Prom. She has a fabulous dress, shoes to match, her boyfriend is renting a limo, and you know what? She'll still probably end up at the beach! ;)

because i stayed a fifth year in highschool to do my police internship i had two chances to go to prom.... I ditched them both and you know what.... I don't regret it :|

I went to prom :shrug:
It was feh :shrug:

my friends and i boycotted prom and did our own beach party thing... it was unusually cold that night so we had a bonfire :nice:

Unfortunately the boy to girl ratio at the prom was predominatly male... making it a very awkward prom :|

I thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about?

:confused:

I actually did go to my prom. A bunch of us from the Drama Club had a group date. We had a potluck dinner at one member's house - and then went to the prom and danced until the wee hours. Our costumes were fabulous - I made mine. (I made a lot of costumes; I was quite a good seamstress back then.)
