American Fun – The Prom

Each spring 16 million teens take part in quite possibly the most widely shared of all modern American traditions: the high-school prom. Emblazoned in our memory as the first adult thing we ever did, we vividly remember the moments as if they were scenes in a movie. Nobody ever forgets the name of his or her prom date. Or the fancy outfit we wore. Or vomiting behind that tree on the side of the road.
Each year, I love seeing the prom outfits that are over the top. Perhaps you’ve seen the duct tape dresses? Well, an Iowa girl has smacked that! Elizabeth Rasmuson has created a prom dress out of gum wrappers. Check it out! Have a good prom story to share? Did you marry your prom date?
