You thought you had a bad prom? These Wisconsin teens lined up on a pier to take those awkward pre-prom photos. Then they heard a cracking sound … and the pier gave way, dumping everyone in the lake. I bet all the parents who paid for $300 prom dresses, hair and nail appointments were pissed.
More pics at the link. I won’t pretend I didn’t laugh. [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »
Long before the stars attended events like the Oscars and Grammy Awards, the biggest thing on their calendar was prom night!
Britney Spears, Ryan Seacrest, Fergie, George Clooney, Halle Berry and more … see what they looked like at their own high school dances and find out which of them were crowned Prom King or Queen! Read more …
Texanna Edwards, of Gibson County, Tennessee, was sent home from her senior prom after she wore a Confederate flag-themed dress to the event. Edwards was turned away after school officials deemed the dress “offensive and inappropriate.”
“She was told because of the dress and what it would look like, it would be considered inappropriate,” said Edward Pruett, who serves as the director of schools for the county. Prior to the event, Edwards was warned not to wear the dress, and was told that it would be especially inappropriate, given that racial tensions at the school had escalated in recent months.

If you have a teenager nearing prom age, hopefully you’ve got good credit. Between dresses, flowers, limo rides, and hairdos, the average family with a teenager is expected to plunk down a whopping $1,078 on prom this year, up from $807 last year, according to a new Visa survey spotted by USA Today. “This is social-arms-race spending,” says the head of Visa’s financial education programs. “It’s extreme.” Read more …
When I received a Facebook request from a statuesque woman named “Carol Lee,” I knew the face but not the name. Mentally, I scanned my Midwest childhood, former life as a musical theater dancer, and transition into grad school. I have always loved colorful people, and she did look familiar.
“Do you remember me?” Carol Lee wrote in the message that followed.
I didn’t, until I read the next line. “I took you to prom in 1993.”
My curser blinked along with my cognitive dissonance. Carol Lee was a dead ringer for my high school friend Matt because she was Matt! Keep reading »
Any idea who this lovely lady in the prom photo grew up to be? Clue: She’s a beast on the deep fryer and she likes to “ride things.” Her identity revealed after the jump. Keep reading »
When Dallas high school senior, Ben Ross, was in a serious motorcycle accident, he revealed his one wish to his mom from his hospital bed. Ben wanted to go to prom in the Oscar Mayer Wienernobile. He may have been kidding, but mothers tend to take those things kind of seriously when their children survive a near-fatal accident. But that’s not important. What is important is that while he was recovering, his mother launched an online campaign to convince Oscar Mayer to play chauffeur for Ben and his crew on prom night. Sure enough, this past Saturday evening, a hot dog on wheels showed up to whisk Ben, his girlfriend Molly, and a few of their closest friends off to prom in style. A true prom miracle. I wish I had considered such a genius idea for my own prom. [The Daily What] Keep reading »
Prom — we all have such fond memories, am I right? Okay, even if your date maybe sucked — mine collected spoons! — you probably wore a super sweet dress (not gonna lie, mine was a floor-length eggplant satin number.)

Send us a picture—with a description of what you’re wearing—of your hot-to-trot prom style, and we’ll include them in a giant Frisky reader fashion slideshow. Send your prom pics to me–by April 15–at {encode=”julie@thefrisky.com” title=”Julie@TheFrisky.com”}. Keep reading »
Jessica Simpson never went to the prom. But she wants you, or at least your younger cousin, to look gorgeous at yours. So in addition to her line of shoes, bags, jeans, etc—apparently, her apparel fiefdom is valued at almost $1 billion a year—Jessica is now creating prom dresses for David’s Bridal. As the press release reads, “Inspired by the fabulous designer gowns I’ve worn to red carpet events, my affordable collection is designed to fit and flatter a variety of body types and help girls achieve their own red carpet style for prom.” The dresses cost between $139 and $229, and honestly, look pretty nice. I am thoroughly obsessed with the space age tie dye of the one on the left and am considering purchasing it. Even though I’d be wearing it to my 15-year reunion rather than to an actual prom.

For two months, I excitedly prepared for prom. But instead of planning with classmates during sixth period study hall, I consulted with coworkers over coffee breaks. That’s because I’m not an 18-year-old high school senior; I’m a 23-year-old recent college grad. Don’t be alarmed –there was nothing salacious (or illegal) going on. I simply started dating a guy who was in his fourth year at a college two hours out of town. Every year, the small college holds a senior formal for its impending graduates and he asked me to be his date. I, very happily, accepted.
A part of me hoped this formal experience would get the bad taste of prom out of my mouth. Keep reading »
