Prom Dress

I tried not to for a long, long time but I can’t help it anymore. I have to write about girly stuff now. Partly because I don’t know what else to write about (dear Mr. Teacher, I think 3 posts every week are a lot, I just don’t have the time) but also because I really thought about this.

Prom dresses or Prom in general
Of course as part of my year here I’m going to prom. On one side I’m really excited for it, since it’s my only prom and it is kind of a big deal, but on the other side, why is it such a big deal anyway?

I don’t want to spend $300 on a dress I don’t like anyway. A dress I will probably just wear once. A dress I have to ship to Germany, if I want to keep it.
I’m not that a big fan of dresses anyway so I don’t see a point in that. And at the dance itself are just tons of girls with expensive dresses and fancy hair, dancing to bad music. Dancing dirty probably as well. Where is this culture going???

Okay, music and dancing is one thing, but more and more a problem is this freaking dress for me. I do not want to buy one. I also don’t want to wear an ugly one (this both together makes it almost impossible).
There should be a dress market, where you could sell your old dresses and get “new” ones cheap.

So I have about 5 weeks left to find a dress (and an hair appointment, but that should be fairly easy), it’s just not helping a lot, that I don’t want to think about that dance at all, since it is on my last week-end here :(.
