Michelle Malkin’s spitting pins (tee) about this prom dress, which is apparently a big seller. I’m hoping the girls wear turtlenecks under it. Just kidding.

I dunno. The girls aren’t on Sesame Street wearing this, there won’t be any kids at the prom, and if the girls’ parents don’t stop them, the girls’ parents are going to end up supporting the girls’ children, or buying her a double wide when she drops out of college. And lets remind ourselves people have done crazier things in the name of fashion. French women, just after the Revolution, cut their hair short and wore little red strings around their neck, because it was Guillotine Chic (the women had their hair cut short to make it easy on the blade, and the red string is obvious). And they wore those little tiny white empire-waist dresses, single layer, thin cotton, and would run outside in the middle of winter to get as wet and cold as possible, because apparently blue lips were in, and the dresses looked just so now when clinging to their, ah, cold features. Then most of them died of pneumonia.

So let’s just be glad that modern medicine will keep these girls healthy if it rains on prom night.

I have to say though, it’s a hideous dress. I mean, red with those sequins? That’s kind of early nineties, isn’t it? And a waistline above the bellybutton like that really isn’t flattering on the hips. It’s very Pre-Relaxed-FCC-Standards.
