Wow. I hope all this "stuff" makes her happy. Personally, it seems a little ridiculous to me. My wedding won't cost half what her prom costs!

She is a good example of what life in the Big Sh*tty can produce. Or should I have said 'whelp'?

I knew where my yearbooks got to, I would know who it was.
I am afraid it might have been a cheerleader turned clintonoid.
I didn't have a steady at prom time, I was a bee fliting from pretty flower to pretty flower.

I'm not at all surprised by this. Does anyone ever watch MTV or E entertainment television to see what these teens are watching...It's all about THE STUFF. They actually have shows called "IT'S GREAT TO BE ________________ (Jennifer Aniston). Where, for an HOUR, they go through the things that Jennifer Aniston owns...the cars, the clothes..wear she vacations, her homes. Let's not get into the Paris Hilton phenomenon. Then, of course, there are the shows about trust-fund children, where we see how they live.
We are bringing up, quite possibly, the most superficial, materialistic generation ever...and our country will pay dearly for it.

Didn't try to find a date. Didn't dance. Still don't. Played a lot of baseball. Went to a few street fights. All my cousins my age or older were either guys, or were married. Didn't ask any of 'em. Thought proms were stupid. Still do.

I dont know the girl that well , but that slit in the dress sure is inviting, and no straps.
To: LoveDoc
Just enjoy life my jealous friend... I certainly enjoy life and am definitely not jealous of anyone who's idea of high priorities includes blowing ten grand on a freakin' prom. Don't confuse my scorn with jealousy. Have a good night.

Anything worth having requires an investment in time and money. Not sure I could afford this one though. $2500 dollars for a prom dress?. Thats insane.
To: razorback-bert
I went to 5 or 6 of them different date every time except the last one ,I married her she was 3 years behind me graduating, and from a different school, we got married 10 days after her graduation and have been married for 43 years.

Yes, my name is Mark Cossuto and I am the lawyer mentioned in that article. And yes I am very proud of my accomplishments as an attorney.
I think that before you form opinions about other people, you should have all of the facts. First of all, you really should question the source of what you read. Do you really believe everything that you read in the NY Post? The shame on you! A dress retailer contacted my daughter about posing for a "dress promotion" for the NY Post. She did not pay $2,400 for the dress. In fact, she did not pay a dime. She was given the dress free of charge due to all of the free publicity that the retailer and the dress company were given because of the article. Her shoes were $39. The costs were completely fabricated. The reporter knew what the article's tag line would be, but I certainly did not. I did not know what the slant of the article was going to be, otherwise I would not have consented to the article. But it was too late. I was just as shocked when the article was published.
The idea of spending $10,000 on a prom is completely insane. I certainly would not allow it, even if I could afford it. It is insane. The article was and is a complete embarrassment to myself and my family. I try to the best of my ability to bring up my children with values which would never include such waste and excess.
So kindly stop judging my daughter, myself and my family. I assure you that the NY Post Article was filled with lies. It was a complete fabrication. I am considering legal action against the reporter and the NY Post. They should at least print a retraction of the story and an apology.
I can certainly understand other people sitting in judgment of me and my family, if the article were true, but it is not. So please stop with the shots against me.
Thank You - Mark Cossuto
