Prom Dos and Don'ts
Attention Prom attendees and chaperones: Don't do it! Don't succumb to the current (inexplicable) trend of neon colors for this year's prom.
And while we're at it, here's a few more don'ts: don't wear uncomfortable shoes, don't go "just to go," don't go with someone you don't really like (and for heaven's sake don't get into a fight at the prom), don't drink alcohol (it's not worth it -- and vomit stinks; really stinks).
Finally do not - - and this serious -- do not "coordinate" your outfit with your date OR your friends. You will live to regret it. You will.
And now, here's a sort-of random selection of prom dress selections:
