springtime nostalgia

Three decades ago, there was no publication I adored and awaited more fervently than the prom issue of Seventeen. Even then, the pastel taffeta lover in me noticed that in general, dresses in the ads were pretty hideous, compared to those in the editorial layout.

Those were some seriously ugly dresses in the Jezebel article. But I don't like Gunne Sax either. Too frilly.

Funny how personal tastes evolve. At that age, when my bff and I went to the mall, I'd always urge her to try on Gunne Sax dresses, and she insisted that she liked simpler things. And nowadays I realize she was totally right ;)

All proms are hereby cancelled due to yuck.

OTOH, getting the back half of one of those "waterfall" skirts caught in the door of the limo could only improve it.
