(not a photo from this prom)
More wretched excess here
flap? hardly :)
She can have to N.O.P.D. Suite at Caesar's.
It's great if school officials want to enforce some decency standards, turning a kid away from her prom because of a dress that was previously approved by a school official (in this case, the same one who turned her away) is idiotic. Ms. Gardner should, and probably will, be sued at the very least for the cost of the dresses and prom tickets.
"We can't go back to prom night. Prom's over. Our prom has been stolen from us."
If I was a judge, I'd probably make Ms. Gardner pay for a whole second prom.
I wonder what Imus would say about these gals?
When I was in high school, the principal used to measure the boy’s sideburns and the girl’s skirts with a ruler. A couple of years later, he was fired for (among other things) bringing his own steaks to school and having the cooks prepare them for him so he didn’t have to eat the school food. He was a real jerk. The “teacher” in this story sounds like a relative of his.
If the counselor approved the dress, the girl should have been let in. What most likely occurred, is that the counselor was shown a photo depicting a slimmer model in the dress, so it looked fine to her at the time. That said, maybe this could lead to a request to prom dress companies to design dresses are not so scanty.
It is about time! If one is not selling, one need not advertise.
The two teens in the picture are dressed quite appropriately. School officials totally overreacted.
I’d hit on Miranda Melerine.
“Melerine said she is larger-busted than many of the girls who passed inspection at the door of the Magnolia Plantation dance hall at Elmwood Park”
Yes, she certainly is.
Those dresses in your picture don’t look at all out of line. Seem to be entirely reasonable.
I’ve seen prom dresses that I would deem inappropriate. I don’t see anything wrong with either of those.
"Cover those dirty pillows!"
I think these young ladies look perfectly dressed for an evening formal occasion.
I just hope they didn’t ruin the outfit by wearing those ridiculous flip-flop shoes.

If the picture shown is exemplitive of the types of dresses that were considered verboten, then I would say there seems to be a real overreaction. I wondering if Ms. Gardner is underendowed and maybe just a bit jealous of those who actually HAVE a chest. LOL! I went to an all girls Catholic high school back in the ‘60s and even the nuns, who were a strict group, were not this silly.
