Okay there are 5 weeks to go and I *still* can't find a dress. The fact that I'm skint until a few days before the event isn't helping, so will anyone mind too much if I just wear some very pretty underwear and a raincoat?

I thought you bought that red one?

The red one was out of stock so I turned back to the drawing boards, and I can't believe you're not going!

BTW, just found out I definately can't go 'cos Jazz just reminded me that we have tickets for a gig in Nottingham on that day.
Don't tell me you are going to see Toby Jepson??? Cause he's playing Peterborough the week before and I should be going to the Pboro one because I couldn't do the Notts one due to the Prom!

Well OK, if you insist! It's easier than sorting out a tux!

Personally I think everyone should go in a raincoat and pretty underwear...
Er......no.........Didn't he used to be in "Little Angels"?

Well, it would solve the overheating in tuxes & dresses-with-too-many-layers thing

Just a thought but have you tried ebay ... they seem to have a reasonable collection for the size 8-14 range on there.
If I find a dress this week I'll go to the prom.
Depends on both the man and the tux.
by Pegasus
So is that the tuxs that are sexy or the men in them that make them sexy
I disagree, put an ugly bloke in a tux and he becomes 'interesting looking' rather than ugly. They immediately bump up the attractiveness quota by at least one. Of course i am talking the classic black Bondesque tux. The 70's one has the opposite effect

Put an ugly bloke in a tux = still not fancyable.
I just got a call from Teresa, it seems she has found a dress (in Dorothy Perkins of all places), so she will be going to the ball. However she'll need to run off before midnight before she turns back into a pumpkin

Just remind her she still needs to send me her details by email so I can officially put her on the attendeee list.

I saw whole bunch of kids actually going to a Prom last Saturday. If everyone ends up looking half as good & having as much fun as they did, then it should be a fab night
by Pegasus
Its not a little blue number is it T?
I saw some teenage girls shopping for prom dresses when I was ... they thought I was a bit freaky when I said I was going to a prom too
