  - you're supposed to go to a deb ball with an escort who isn't your dad. a fine young man. military is great. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:10 1
    - I think there are Dad's and Daughter dances which is for the tweeners -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 17, 19:33
- Purity Ball? -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 17, 19:10 5
  - Maybe that's what I was thinking of. -- nm - Bacon Aug 17, 19:10 4
    - If that is the one that seems creepy, then that is what I was thinking of -- nm - Bacon Aug 17, 19:11 3
      - Yup, I'm sure it is. The debutante thing goes back to the 1800s. The purity thing is much more recent. -- nm - mara Aug 17, 19:12 2
        
        this. Deb ball is high society, purity ball is low society. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:12 1
        
        Heh. -- nm - mara Aug 17, 19:13
well, they are supposed to wear white. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:07 6
- Ah. Well, I guess a formal is a formal. -- nm - mara Aug 17, 19:11 5
  - it seems stupid to buy a wedding dress instead of a white formal gown, becuase "Bridal" equals far more expensive. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:14 4
    - Especially at the Say Yes to the Dress stores, where dresses run $2000 to $10,000 and higher. -- nm - mara Aug 17, 19:15 3
      - seriously, wtf, these must be seriously nouveau riche. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:16 2
        
        I guess you missed the MTV series where they followed 'clueless' snotty bitches planning their sweet 16 birthday parties? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 17, 19:32 1
        
        like I said, nouveau. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:49
