[July 4th]

She'll make some guy's life a living hell someday.

>Wait until you see what she'll do for her wedding! The choice of groom won't matter then, either.<

Upon reading this, I am so very glad I've finished drinking my morning coffee. It's a pain to get off the monitor, you know (c;.

Not only that, she had a hand in its custom-design details.

"My parents are just happy that I saved up myself for the dress, and they'll obviously help me pay for everything else I need."

I'm assuming she cleared this with her parents before she made all these elaborate plans. If they agreed to it, they obviously have more money than sense.

[Guenevere]

We still are :)

According to a Seventeen prom survey, girls spend an average of $833 for dress, shoes and accessories......(and) shell out $135 on beauty products, $105 at the salon and $206 for tickets and limos.

Who are these people???? They must all be living on the east coast. My daughter went to prom with someone two years ago. I got a dress for $80 and the shoes were somewhere around $20. We made an appointment at the Clinique counter at the local mall and had her make-up done for free. She looked terrific. The guy had his own car and that's how they got to the dance.

Honestly, I love capitalism, but I sometimes believe that the people in this country have WAY too much money on their hands.

[Guenevere]

LOL, do you think I would admit to it, even if I were :^

[Guenevere]

close :)

[Liz]

I will always be confronted with my prom date.


The school photographer took a full-lenth pic of the two of us arrriving at the prom---and school yearbook editors published the pic sprawled over almost two whole pages at the very front of the yearbook.


My date (and heavy steady) was a football star and quite popular, and I did look pretty neat in my prom gown (didn't cost $2400).

"LOL, do you think I would admit to it, even if I were :^"

No, dear..It is just a secret between us :P
We are all spring chickens.

[SAMS]

Meanwhile, they are still searching all over Aruba for another spoiled brat.

[Guenevere]

...no hot affair with Lancelot ....or anyone else :)

[Guenevere]

Just curious?...How do you plan on arriving in the 'great dry country in the sky'-(your words)....

...or maybe I should ask...Where do you plan to go?...and How do you [plan to get there?...(per your post)

[linda_22003]

I didn't mean you, of course, I was just correcting Wage Slave's version of Arthurian legend. ;) Nothing personal!

[Guenevere]

Indeed!...we are all spring chickens and fella Tennesseans :) ...Chattanooga

How did a Tennessean get transplanted to Europe, may I ask?

[Guenevere]

I knew that :)

..and I was giving you my truthful answer :) ...if you did ask me!

Brooklyn Italian princess!! Must be a real sweetheart; like Victoria Gotti.

I almost married one! Looked great on the arm but the freight on something like that was too heavy for me. I wasn't one of the 'boys'.

Checkout her choice of colleges;
Florida International University in Miami.

There's a real hall of higher learning. Bring extra thongs sweetheart! Party till you puke!

I guess she will not be entering the Duct Tape Prom contest this year?

If duct tape isn't the answer, then you must be asking the wrong question!” –The Duct Tape Guys

[Larry Lucido]

She'll rent a 22-seat stretch Hummer

Hint: That's not the hummer any prospective date is interested in.

[R. Scott]

A wannabe socialite?
