Dresses

I found an interesting article on Facebook, prom dresses, and high school girls. “You want to look original and pretty — and you don’t want to be standing next to someone in a picture wearing the same dress.” Teens at a high school in New York created a Facebook group among their school to ensure that no girls would steal each others dresses; the tradition has apparently been around for quite some time according to the article. "To cultural observers, the groups are a sign of the increasing red carpetization of the prom, a tradition that didn’t always revolve around fashion." People wish to be completely originial- and yet must seek the validation and permission of others. Hmmm...
