I never went to a single formal dance until my senior year. On nights when there was a
winter formal or a junior prom, my friends would get dressed up and ready to dance in
their beautiful gowns. While they were dancing with their dates, I was at home watching
T.V. It's not that I had trouble finding a date of my own but just the thought of getting
dressed up and dancing in a dress didn't interest me. One day, a week before Mira Mesa's
senior prom I decided to go. It was after all my last year in high school and I at least
wanted to experience one formal dance. I was rushed to find a date and dress in such
short notice. Thankfully for friends and my mom, I was able to find everything I needed.
I thought looking for a prom date last minute would be my hardest task, but it
wasn't. My friend, Judy, found me a date with her friend name, Mike, which is now my
boyfriend because of prom. Like me, he too was looking for a prom date. So there I
was, I had a date but no dress. So my mom and I went on a shopping trip to Plaza Bonita
Mall. We found this store that sold really beautiful gowns for a very cheap price. I think I
tried on every single dress in the store and each dress made me feel like a princess. I
couldn't decided on which dress I wanted, I wanted to take all of them home. So finally I
choose a white and lavender dress. It looked like one of those dresses that Cinderella
would wear to her ball. With the dress picked I moved on to accessories. With just three
more days till prom, I started to stress out I was worried that I wouldn't have all that I
needed before prom. I haven't bought my shoes and I haven't made any appointments for
my hair and nails. I called all most every single salon but they were all booked. Then I
saw this one manicure place with a sign that said "walk-ins are welcomed." I was relieved
to see that there was barely anyone there but panic strike me once again making me think
that the reason why nobody was here was because they didn't give good manicures.

The costumes ranged from green, purple, orange, pink, white, blue, 50’s style flowy dresses that were knee length to white or brown see through pant suits. Typically, the types of shoes worn by the women were either black, nude, or white ballroom style heels, black jazz flats, or simply barefoot. The men on the other hand wore pants and long sleeve flowy shirts that were typically dull in color and the shoes they wore were either black jazz shoes or no shoes at all. There was one piece in Act I that was very different from the others. There costumes in this piece were all white and no shoes. The women had on full length white dresses with a white head piece that covered over half of their face and no shoes and the man that danced in this piece wore a white long sleeve shirt, white pants, a white beanie hat, and no shoes. During this piece there was candles used as props that the women held while dancing. This was not the only piece that had props. Another piece some women had hand paper fans and the other half had brooms that they danced

The big day was finally here! I woke up around four in the morning to get my hair and makeup done. I had stayed in Fort Worth at my aunt’s house, since the lady doing my hair lived closed to her. So already it starts to go bad. The lady called in saying she couldn’t make it because her car broke down, so of course I start freaking out. I needed my hair and makeup done a.s.a.p. so I could be on my way home to Jacksboro. My aunt started to call some people she knew and I waited impatiently starting to do my own make up. Finally, after what seemed like forever another lady
It was my senior year of high school I was sixteen getting ready to turn seventeen. It was my year. I was not your typical girl wearing makeup or play sports. Don’t get me wrong I would get all dolled up if I had something special to do. I had a part time job at Olive garden because my parents motto was “if you
As Junior year rolled around things began to get more interesting. There was a liquor store in Belleville that sold to minors and one night Alan, Alex, Cal, and I went to Max’s One Stop together and bought a ton of alcohol. It was hilarious and we made it just weeks before the cops raided the place and forced them to start checking ID. Junior year was fun with many fun nights but it really didn’t heat up until the end of the year when I went to my first real big party. Will Hogan was a senior at the time and he threw a darty for his grade and invited only four of us juniors. It was really fun and my first experience at a real party. Things started to change after that. Near the end of June I got a call from Luke Worley. In Luke’s call he
senior year came by I was very excited because since I had that talk with
Bridesmaids wearing Bill Levkoff chiffon dresses have a variety of styles to choose from, such as A-line, off-the-shoulder, sleeveless, pleated, or a long gown. Each style has a unique look, giving all of the party members a chance to look just as beautiful as the bride. Below are the most common styles found in chiffon bridesmaids dresses.
Since I could not think of any clothing I have that can help me to dress more masculine, I chose to dress more feminine than I usually dress. On the day of the gender performance activity, I wore a black dress with a black trench coat. I also wore a necklace and earrings, but they might not be too noticeable because I did not tie up my hair. I think my outfit was more toward the formal dressing for female since it was all black and plain. I did not use the backpack for normal school days because that would not go well with my dress. The one I used was a dark purple crossbody purse which was not big enough to put my notebook. That was why I also had to carry a binder around.
This interview helped me gain an excellent idea about a real interview situation. I took this opportunity seriously as I knew that this might be the only situation where I could judge myself before facing a real interview. Therefore I prepared myself to be as professional as possible. I believe I was right on selecting my dress, as my team member Nathan Copey said,
I still had no idea what I was going to wear. I turned to my
The end of my second year of high school was an extremely significant moment in my life. I had realized that some of the girls that I swore were going to be my bridesmaids one day, were never actually there when I needed them to be. It became more evident as the years went on, who was there when it was convenient and who was there when I was not as
