Marche Taylor and Her Skimpy Prom Dress Led Away in Handcuffs
The Ultimate in "Fashion Police"
Depending on who you are; where you live; who your peers are and how much money you have, you will, as a teen, do the best you can to look "with it" and maybe then some. I think from all reports that this girl tried to put together her own ensemble and didn't make a good decision. She may have been guilty of bad taste; one shouldn't be arrested for that. The police had every right to escort her out; they should have remembered she was a little girl in front of her peers; the handcuffs were ridiculous. If you disagree with me then just replace her with your own child.
While we live in a poorer area, my son attends a school where the families have money so the girls are able to purchase "gowns" for prom and for homecoming they are able to purchase shorter fashionable dresses or skirts. They are able to get their hair done beautifully; worlds apart from this girl who was arrested.
When sending your own daughter to a prom it seems to make sense to me that there are several things you can do to assure that your daughter has a fun night.
I think it is important to remember that she is with a young man and that it makes sense to see her dressed to make him proud to be with her; not to turn him on.
The dress should reflect the elegance and importance of the event which is the most important event of the year and the one formal dance of the year.
While it is popular to try and look 25 you should remember that your daughter is 17 or 18 and her dress should reflect that.
It is best to error on the side of being conservative rather than the side of being risqué.
It is important to remember that how she dresses is sending a social message. How do you want her to be perceived? What type of remarks do you want people making about her?
Marche Taylor, the girl who was removed from here prom in handcuffs, in my opinion, was shabbily and shamefully treated. Perhaps, worse than that, was the media referring to her as "looking like a hooker". Is that the way we treat a child?
Yes, Marche Taylor made a mistake wearing a dress that was not appropriate, and, perhaps she made a scene at the dance trying to get a refund, but, frankly, the actions of the police and those of the news media I find to be much more distasteful and socially unacceptable than hers. This event should have never been allowed to escalate to the point of making the news.

Post a Commentprom tickets are non-refundable, especially for someone who broke rules. 2008 prom dress regulations for her school stated that no more than one inch of midriff would be permitted to be shown. She knew this going in.
prom tickets are paid months in advance. there is no money exchanged at the door. schools don't have these events for profit. all the money is paid to the event venue ahead of time and the price is based on the predetermined head count. there's no way she could have been refunded money, even if they wanted to.
if she wanted her money back, she should have left and petitioned the prom committee or school officials at an appropriate time. (not that i think she had any grounds for a refund). making a scene and ruining everyone else's night was not the way to react.
she made a bad decision. she wanted to wear a risque outfit to get attention and it backfired. she deserved everything she got.
wow didn't hear about this, so crazy indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she knew the guidelines and blantantly went against them. its her own fault and she should not be refunded the money. her parents/guardians should have more control over their CHILD abd the girl got so out of hand that the police were called in which shows her immaturity.
Wow, I didn't know about this. I think everyone got out of hand. I guess as a mother of 2 teen sons I question why did her parents let her wear something that was above and beyond if it stirred this mess up. If she was turned down without entering she absolutely should have been given her money back. Handcuffs are extreme unless she got herself so out of control there was concern about her safety and the safety of others. Some girls have wicked kicking and other abilities. The media has constantly gone too far and certainly has if they are calling this high school student a hooker. Disgusting. The days of neutral reporting are apparently over.
