<p>OMG I am going to go stick needles in my eyes - but I think those images are burned into my brain. Now if the girls in post 37 were turned away from prom - that would be justified.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p><strong><em>ROFL</em></strong>, Soozie!!!</p>
<p>They’d feature that PROUDLY, I assure you! ;)</p>
<p>Oooohhh. My eyes! My eyes! I already couldn’t sleep, but now I’m afraid to go shut my eyes—I’ll dream about the Prom from hell.</p>
<p>Then there are the dresses on “Dancing with the Stars” or even regular ballroom competition. The behind the scenes clips show how they use double-sided tape to make some of those scanty creations stay put. :eek:</p>
<h1>37-yup–inappropriate and yes, rolling on the floor laughing. But that is not what was turned away in LA!!! Go figure.</h1>
<p>Pictures of the Higgins winter formal are up on the school board’s official website for the school. Pictures of many, many girls in strapless dresses.</p>
<p>How does the school board’s alleged disapproval of this style dress reconcile with their using these pictures to advertise the school to the entire world?</p>

<p>Someone has a lot of explaining to do.</p>
<p>At my private high school we have a dress check. The girls can’t pick up their tickets until the dress passes–and I won’t even tell you the requirements. Most can find a formal that is long enough but end up wearing a bolero vest on top to keep it modest.</p>
<p>neither one of my kids schools private and public- have had much of a dress code.
Basically they said-no risky clothing- no tshirts that suggest harm to others, they have to be able to walk with no hands holding up their pants.
For those schools it has worked, without having to turn teachers into inspectors.</p>
<p>It reminds me of colleges- when students expect the colleges to be the watchdog on their behavior, they seem to push more to find where the boundary is.
I do admit however- that I live in an area, where we dress fairly modestly, it is chilly after all, and we don’t want our ta-tas hanging out
:p</p>
<p>I don’t see a problem with a dress code even for prom as long as it’s fairly and consistently enforced as in post #47. The pictures of Higgins winter formal on the school board website show that wasn’t the case for the Higgins prom.</p>

<p>:) I don’t know why we’re so modest with formal wear in the South, given the heat. I guess our model is still the very staid and formal balls the old-line Carnival krewes have.</p>
<p>emeraldkity4 - they’re not “ta-tas”, they’re “features.” ;)</p>
<p>avkastner–is this a parochial school? Bolero tops–too amusing.</p>
