PROM princess or porn queen?
This prom dress is so skimpy, even the designer's CEO wouldn't let his teenage daughter wear it. But the dangerously revealing gown, prominently advertised in Seventeen Prom, YM Prom and Teen Prom, and on sale in a Midtown shop, is a top seller for the company this season.
"I was shocked when I first saw it, but now it's one of our top 20 dresses nationwide," says Nick Yeh, the CEO of Xcite, the Stafford, Texas, company that designed the dress and some 200 other styles this season.
"I have a 15-year-old daughter and, no, I would not recommend she wear this dress.
"As a businessman," he adds, "I'm not judging what a teenager should wear or not wear. It's up to the parents to decide for their own children."
In fact, some shops in smaller cities require girls to bring in parental permission slips to buy the dress, Yeh told The Post.
At Elite Designs, a formal shop in Midtown that has the barely-there gown on a mannequin, owner Surinder Nagpal says, "We've gotten a few calls about that dress. Originally, I wasn't going to stock [it], but my sales associate told me that girls would want it, so we're stocking it in black and red."
So far, says Helen Rodriguez, Nagpal's sales associate, no one has bought the $495 gown - but it just arrived.

That's back from the days she was dating Marilyn Manson. She DID have a point when she said that when you arrive somewhere with him and you want to be noticed yourself, there's not a lot of options besides nudity. :^)
Leather boots and gloves...
SNAP!
If a person asked anyone to wear that, they were not friends.
Heresy! :^)
Not for the squimish...but, I'd be afraid, yes very afraid, to sit in her seat after she stood up.
My grandma used to have curtains like those.
I think I can speak for my wife -- after she finished laughing hysterically, that it -- and she would say, "He is already a kid. We don't need any more".
I am generally a pretty laid back mom when it comes to clothing. I will let my daughter wear faddish clothing and I don't go ballistic if she wears something that is a little outlandish. For example, right now all of the girls are wearing black nail polish and combat boots. She bought the nail polish and boots with her allowance. But, that being said, if she ever put something like this on and expected to wear it in public I would absolutely strangle her.
Well said.

Hopefully the dress comes with sanitary "seat" covers.
Why are they bothering with clothes at all?
Just let the orgies begin. Isn't that the goal?
Sheesh.
Hedonism as god run rampant.
Why are so few--even Christians--doing any serioius, effective education about how cheap sex is
well
cheap
at every level, in every respect. Nothing memorable, much less redemptive, growthful, building, substantive lasts from such humping frenzies.
(not counting of course the offspring from unprotected humping frenzies--but even there--the kids are usually so manled as being inconvenient bothers etc. . . that there's not great constructive substance deriving from THEIR existence either!)
That's assuming-of course-that it is an actual dress, and not a parody.
Here is a link to more of the Xcite dresses - hope it works

I could do without the tattoo on her back.
BTW, perhaps I'm old fashioned and ignorant and all that . . .
but . . .
without a "holdzem fm foppin'
what's to keep em from flopping out all jiggly and vain gloriously?
Or is that the objective?
I mean, they don't exactly do only slow waltzes these days, do they?
