Wednesday March 26 - Swing Dancin'

Today during directed studies, Mrs. Baxley hosted her first swing dancing practice for those of you who are going to prom this year. As I'm sure you are well aware, prom will be at the Hunter Art Museum on April 26, with appearances by Will Markhams band (which I don't know the name of. Sorry Will and Band), A jazz band, and 20 or so minutes designated for a DJ who can play all of those radio classics that you love. A couple of things to remember about prom. First and foremost, do not use prom as an excuse to be any form of intoxicated with your friends. Prom is a classy event, and none of you are 21 anyways, so it shouldn't be a problem. Guys, be sure to treat your date the best you can, because I assure you that their dress is worth more than your life. And girls, try not to forget that guys don't usually enjoy having their pictures made, so try to convince your parents or photographer to keep the photo ops short and sweet. Bow ties are cool, but you know whether or not you can pull one off, so if you can't, dont even try. Here are some suggestions for the guys and girls of what to wear to prom. Note - I am not very good with picking out dresses that girls usually like, so i'm going to pick out the fly tuxes for the guys and THE Lauren Nix is going to give the ladies some ideas for dresses. 

For Guys

1. 

 

Simple, yet effective, Calvin Klein. CK can be bought at most of your local Mens Warehouse or Joseph A Bank stores. Guys who wear this tuxedo will be looking for the more economical choice, but it won't be easy to tell you're on a budget, because this tux has the power to make you the most fun-loving guy at prom.

2. 

 

The James Bond. The sophisticated Oxford look always bodes well with the ladies. For God's sake, James Bond is wearing this, how could you expect to not be drowning in women by the end of the night? Honestly though, I don't know where you could purchase something of this nature. Google maybe? Either way, if you find it, i'm sure it wont be cheap. 

3.

No. Just No. If you're the type of person who thinks that you can pull something like this off, then you're exactly the type of person who shouldn't be going to prom. Or allowed in a room with any girls for that matter. 

For the Ladies

1. 

Well this is a nice dress. It's pinkish.  That's about the extent of my knowledge on this dress. If you're looking to try and buy this dress, I'd just Google "Prom Girl Pinkish dress."

2. 

This dress also appears to be a shade of red. It looks good in the wind too, so if you're on the balcony at The Hunter during prom and it's a little windy, you're sure to be the best looking one out there.

3. 

 

This one is nice as well. As you can see, it's a great shade of blueish-green and there's a cut in it so you can show off your prom shoes. 

Prom is just another thing to look forward to, along with Spring Break, Graduation, and Summer weather. Hang in there students. Hang in there.
