It’s Prom time.

I hate Proms, that’s why I don’t really talk about them. I went to mine (alone) and it was fun. I was so hammered during the event. Ahh, good times.

These places can have some beautiful gowns and dresses. Good luck on the hunt

There’s many who talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk as far as supporting their own, and this situation needs to change.

Overall it’s a big step in the right direction, although there are some aspects of the website that I absolutely detest, that’s for another post.
