But
Her Prom Dress Was Red!!!
I understand there
is some discussion out there concerning the front page photo of the prom-goers
who were showing a little leg and their garters. I, too, did a little
double-take when I saw it, but then I'm getting close to 60... GOOD LORD!
SIXTY!!!! ... Anyway, I come from the old school and am a tad set in my ways,
and a little (did she say little?) on the snooty side so I do occasionally find
myself telling me to snap out of it. The times they are a-changin'.
People run around all summer in their little string
tops and bottoms and we are probably adjusting to some degree, but c'mon, when
you're dressed formally and look so beautiful and Mom and Dad are so
proud of you ... keep your dress down.
I remember when Donn went to his first prom. She was
such a pretty girl and we were good friends of the family and our children were
growing up and it was such a special evening for all of us. Then the kids came
to the house for the picture-taking session. She was wearing (I can say it today
in good humor) a strapless RED DRESS!!!! I was devastated! A red
dress ...no ...nice girls didn't wear red dresses! We lived through it, but it
was touch and go for awhile.
So this is what it has come to ... first the strapless red
dresses and now we have them showing off some leg. What next!? No letters
please. I'm probably just jealous because I never had a red dress. I did have a
beautiful red silk slip one time, but my conscience wouldn't let me wear it.
Good grief!
"Olden days". Go figure. What will the "olden
days" be like in 2050? I cannot even imagine.
