Okay, so DD2 is going to the prom tomorrow (Saturday) night. We have the dress, the toenails are done. Her hair and her fingernails will be done tomorrow (across town by 9 a.m. Grrrr). The shoes! She insists on 5-inch heels and cannot find the right shoes. My feet hurt just looking at the shoes she has already tried on. My only criterion for shoes is that they don't hurt my feet and they color is not too outrageous.
Oh well, she will be graduating and no more proms. Hopefully it will be awhile before we have to start hunting for the perfect wedding dress. Did I mention that she is picky, picky, picky? I cannot wait for that chore. LOL
She designed her prom dress, and I found a dressmaker shop, and they made it exactly to her specifications. It is really a pretty dress. It is short with a ballet-type skirt (netting). It is black with a hot pink bodice. Hot pink is her signature color. Think "Steel Magnolias".
My two stepsons are supposed to come over to "check out" her date. They don't realize that she is an old pro at this prom stuff. Even after going to two proms before, she is still excited about going. I was afraid that she might find it "old hat", but she acts as this is the first time.
Details to follow. Then starts the countdown to graduation.
Hugs,
Dannie

I hope she enjoys her prom.It is a very exciting time. The dress sounds beautiful! I had a pink short prom dress also!
Please send us pictures of your beautiful DD!

Well...it's Prom night...how did the evening go Dannie? Did DD find the perfect shoe? As you know, I am a shoe fanatic too so I do understand finding the perfect one...but I DON'T understand 5" heels!!!! How DO they walk in them? I can't wait to see pix of her. Is she dating anyone "special" right now or did she just go with a friend? Can't tell the players w/o a scorecard! LOL
dd did not go to her prom, she was only going to that school for a couple of months and then married a guy from texas about a month later.
the only one of my kids that went to a prom was my youngest ds. he went to his and he went to his wife's and they had a ball at both.
i hope s had a wonderful time and will be watching for the details.
hugs,
