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.

Ah yes, the dress for the kids on acid.
gee thanks... Clinton's wife or daughter in that dress is an image we all wanted to see... LOL
Absolutely not!
I don't have a daughter, but if I did, I would agree.
I personally think that I would stop doing business with any store selling it, and I would tell them why.
First come designers, then manufacturers and then retailers. All are getting the blood money of our children's innocence.
Not to mention, how the heck could she fit in the car after the dance?
No lady shows her bosom before three o'clock!
The dress looks kind of whore-ish," says junior Emma Herr.

Ya think?
What time zone?
Thankfully, it's not.
Though it's not too LOW any more, either!
LOL.
TOOOOO TRUE!
What can I say.
Hmmmmmm . . .
In think my idling state is intense.
Thankfully, I'm mostly idling most of the time.
Getting really wound up can intimidate people in person, though. I usually have to greatly moderate the expression of it. Have gotten good enough at that, that in many cases, only those close to me know I'm really agitated.
However, the sensitive and perceptive can usually read my mail from my face. LOL.
At the time, I felt horrible that I was not able to be with them during this difficult time of growing up.
Tonight, I thank God that I did not have to deal with this! However, my ex-wife now have my absolute sympathy.
Does this picture mean that a new Mad Max film is being released?
Where are you going to pin the corsage?
Perhaps so.
In my case, hasn't seemed to be a hazard at all. My writing is probably a more intense aspect of my intense personality.
I'm intense otherwise in groups; often when teaching; engaging in passionately felt hobbies of pottery and weaving; etc.
Yet, even my intensity and passions . . . how to put it . . . are not USUALLY super spiking off the chart emotionality.
It's more just how my motor runs. I don't think of diesel's as racy high energy. But they are powerful with a lot of torque. I think my intensity is more like that--at least in person.
Most people close to me report me being one of the most gentle etc. people they know.
Goodness. I don't remember. Let me check . . .
OH,
THE CEO OF THE DRESS MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
The dolt who made it for other father's daughters but wouldn't allow his own to wear it.
I figure he has to be an unroyal denseness to pull such a stunt.
Clearer now?
