Me and my friends decided awile ago that we all would go to homecomming together. Well homecomming is next saturday and I hadn't gotten a dress yet or even asked mom if I could go. I told Jenny (my sister) this today when I whent with her to take her pets to the vet. She suggested that we go shopping for my homecomming dress tonight. So we whent to the mall. Ummm...that was an interesting expeirence. I've never been to a school dance before and am not the very into fasion so I pretty much trusted jenny on what to get. Of course when she was a senoir in highschool she was a kids size 12 to 14 so she wasn't exactly sure how to start looking either. Well, the first dress I try on is realy nice. But when I show it to jen she basicaly says damn and well to put it bluntly I kinda looked like a slut. She said more of a skank but whatever becuase well the dress was realy low cut and yeah. Well if jen thinks its to low then its defently to low so we move on. There wasn't alot and we made fun of a few dresses in the windows of some stores with bare midrifts exc. Five stores later and about 10 dresses later that all pretty much as jen put it were flattering but just to flattering I fine this nice skirt and shirt. It was kinda diferent and I wouldn't look like five other girls there but for some reason I just didn't like it. By this time were realy tired and decided it was time to leave. Jenny sugest we try another mall on saturday, we both have alot to do on saturday but if we go right after she gets her flew show then we might be able to go to a different mall for a few hours. On the way out we decided we might as well look in the store that we made fun of earlyer just to be thourough. I wasn't planning on trying anything on but I find this red dress. It doesn't look like anything special but I looked at the price and it was 28 dollers 28 dollers. I couldn't not try on a 28 doller dress when the past things I had looked at had been so expensive. And sence I was trying that on I suddently ended up with apile 3 feet high of clothes because if I have to try one thing on might as well try everything on that looks remoatly interesting. The dress was amazing I mean it looked great. It was so cool. I show jen and she compleatly agree so we get it. It was kinda different ummm red strappless ect. But sence it was strapless the neck line didn't reach my navel for once. One the way home were both realy exited to show mom and plan how were going to make her ask how much we spent on something like a dress I'll rarely were ect. So we get home and of course mom whants me to try it on. When I do her job drops to the floor. Yeah uh shocked would not particuraly describe it and she turns to jen and was like you turned my daughter into a a a...With was realy funny because I mean we chose the dress because it was defently one of the less revealing ones. So of course jen and I jump to the dresses defence. So mom says she whants another openion and calls james (my brother in law) up from the basement and asks what he thinks and well is reaction was similar to moms. Witch was followed by many a comment on how I was only 14 with me chimming in with altimate cliche that I would be 15 in less then a month. Jen also says that homecomming was going to have other 14 year olds there so its not like 30 year old guys are going to be oggeling me. Mom says so what there are going to be 17 and 18 year old guys. Ummmm...so what what makes a 17 and 18 year old so untrustworthy anway. Were talking about a 2 to 3 year age difference here. I mean come on. So jen and I keep on mentioning if you think this one looks bad you should of seen this or this or this. After mom got over the shock she admitted that it was a nice dress and she was so shocked and said it was kinda like the time she first found out that jen got a tatoo that also happened to be the night she was going to a strip club for the first time and was dressed like she was about to spend the night out. She loves jens tatoo know. For some reason even though its not a reavealying dress and jen pointed out several times was the only one that didn't draw pples eyes directly to my chest apareantly it being red and strappless gave the illusion that it was worse then it was. I don't realy get that but all I have to say is I didn't think it was that big of a deal and my brides maids dress to jennys wedding was lower cut. I just heard mom talking on the phone to one of her friends and she said it was gorgeous and again mentioned but I was only 14 so I'm glad she liked it. So the conversation turned on how I was going to get out of the house on saturday with it on cause its dad s weekend akay the guy convinced until reacently that if I whent to movies with several friends a few of who happened to be guys I'd magicaly become pregnet by the time I got home (don't you love the respect and trust parents have, sorry sarcasum). So yeah eventualy everyone decided to show him the dress on friday so he could get over what ever shock he has because oh my god I'm wearing red (sorry I get sarcastic when I'm tired) and try and convince him to let me get ready here or at a friends house on saturday so he couldn't change his mind. Honestly though with the way I'v been going on about it you'd think this is some sorta a magical dress but its realy normal. I thought it was cool but not enough for everyone to think about all this. It realy isn't that bad at all. You'd probably laugh if you saw it I mean its just an ordinary red dress.
