    I thought I was super-clever just for discovering that no one shopped "prom" in the "holiday formal" section. Marked down to $30, holla!


    Then I graduated college in a dress that I knew I could get office wear out of. I am a god of fashion.

    I'm going to a ball and just for the hell of it I registered my ankle-length chocolate brown dress.


    This one.

    This article really brings up the debate of fashion and style. I never care if people have the same thing as me, because my style makes my outfit, not simply the item I'm wearing.

    So, this was immature of me, but I don't care. In protest, I have registered a dress for the Georgia Inaugural Ball. I think it's quite a pretty dress, personally. I'm a guy, though, so I won't be wearing it, but apparently now NOBODY WILL mwahahahaha.


    Or if someone really likes it enough, they'll have to get over themselves and deal with it.

    @Jessica Hussein Lovejoy loves Decapitatey Wayne Peterson: No. How can we ever live up to the hype of it being the best night of our lives, complete with booze and (if we are lucky and you are not a hussy like me who did it long before that night) the promise of a romantic loss of virginity? Because that is what prom is all about: booze and the tearing of hymen.

    @TheVaginaWig: My high school AP US History teacher gave us these 3 important pieces of life advice (please imagine coming from a 60-year-old, Catholic-school-educated woman):

    1. Don't have sex in the car. (Hard on your back.)

    2. No sex in the shower. (Fear of slipping; this one could be altered if you had non-skid floor mats.)

    3. Don't lose your virginity on prom night: too cliche.


    Also, hey, at least you looked GOOD while having a miserable night. ;)
