Skimpy Prom Dress Lands Marche Taylor in Jail
As a mother trying to help her daughter pick out a prom dress, I have come across my own battles of what is appropriate for a girl of this age to wear. Girls today are bombarded with racy pictures of girls their age or even younger. They feel that it is the way they should be dressing. As a single mom I have found a couple ways to work with my daughter to make sure her choices are appropriate to our school. Our school deems that clothing should not be deemed as indecent. And such attire is prohibited from the prom.
When my daughter is looking at racy pictures, like that of Miley Cyrus, I use this time to discuss the ways Hollywood is different then real life. I tell her that many girls feel they must grow up fast and show more skin to be respected in Hollywood. I also have told her that she is beautiful for her mind as well as her body. It is for this reason that she should dress to showcase both.
Insist on going shopping with your daughter for her prom dress. You should let her try on anything that catches her eye. Even if the prom dress is skimpy let her try it on. When she comes out to show you the dress, you can discuss why this particular choice is not appropriate. Always ask her for her opinion. See what about this dress she likes. It might have just been the color and had nothing to do with the cut. With this knowledge you can show a more appropriate selection in that color that she make like. This give and take will help your daughter feel like she is a part of the decision and is not being told what she must wear. Children will always rebel against being told that they cannot do something. Letting her in on how you came to your decision may help her see that you are right in the fact the prom dress was too skimpy.
Another way to battle the onslaught of skimpy prom dresses is to clearly define what you and your family deem as inappropriate. Having solid ground rules in advance of prom dress shopping will help you to lead her to the right choices. A child can only be as good as the foundation that is set for them.
Marche Taylor sought to be like the stars she saw in the magazines and on TV. In trying to be as racy as them in her skimpy prom dress she ended up missing one of the biggest nights of her young life. Do not let this happen to your daughter help her make the right decisions and then enjoy her prom.

Post a CommentCheap Taylor kicked out of prom for wearing Marche dress LOL!!!!!!!!!!
She is so Cheap her parents named her CHEAP
her name says it all (marche=cheap)
Marche Taylor didn't spend the night in jail, she was sent home. But before you feel bad for Marche for being subjected to such bad fashion influences, read my article about this -- which contains some verbatim language sent home by Houston schools (quoted from my own copy because my kid attends school in Houston).
Personally, I think everyone needs to get a grip. The few pictures I saw of Miley were not racey at all though I know thats not the subject of this article. People are so afraid of their own bodies and of their sexuality. Big shock a teenager is dressing sexy. I found a video of the girl modeling her dress, it was very short and her top was basically a wrap around tube but you could not see anything more than what you would have seen had she been at the beach (and no this wasn't the beach I know that). And obviously the school must not enforce dress code THAT much or she wouldn't have thought she could gain entrance to her Prom. Everyone wants to protect their kids so much , from what? I'm not saying I agree with her outfit or her decision to wear it to a school function but I think the overall outpouring of "rage" and "anger" are a sad demonstration of how repressed some sects of our society are.
I'm going to have to disagree quite a bit with Jerry and C. Casparius, though I don't necessarily disagree with the authors take in hte article.
Jerry, I agree with you totally. It is sickening how sexually indifferent young people are. Of course there are people who raise their children, no matter what race, to be respectful and decent human beings. However, with sex being morally correct the views of people, ESPECIALLY our children, what would expect little less than this. The fact that it happens everywhere and everyday as an earlier post stated, is only proof that SOMETHING is wrong.
I am a high school teacher in the south, in the heart of the Bible Belt and I see it here. Things that make me sick, young women and young men wearing things that should be considered indecent. The real problem is that it is impossible to monitor and enforce the rules about decent dress or decent behavior because the parents get involved and since they bought the clothes that their child is wearing they should be allowed to wear them. Its a never ending battle and currently starts and ends in the home.
Houstonian, please don't try to make this about race. I agree that she was very combative and that her actions were wrong, but being an African American female or as you put it "young black inner city youth, ESPECIALLY the girls" has nothing to do with what happened. It happens everywhere and everyday. Look at the show Sweet 16 there are girls of all races wearing innappriate dresses and not only using foul language with their peers, teachers, and authority figures, they use it with their parents. I'm a 25 year old African American mother and aunt and no one in my family would ever dress that we, because we raise our children with a certain level of respect and desency that apparently this young lady does not have. My younger brother is currently a senior at James Madison High School and his date was very tasteful and respectful and by the way she happened to be an African American female or "young black inner city youth, ESPECIALLY the girl" as you put it. It has nothing to do
Based on the interview I saw with her and the picture of the agreement the kids were supposed to sign, she was trying to get away with something she knew she wasn't allowed to do. She deserved to be kicked out and if she was disruptive, she needed to be taken away.
marilisa, I am willing to bet my last dollar that Marche would have been given the opportunity to leave and change had she not tried to "argue" her way in. I live in Houston and come across girls like Marche often when out and about. These kind of kids today, sorry but I have to say it, young black inner city youth, ESPECIALLY the girls, are down right scary. They are loud, they are combative, they use foul language and are "In your face" with their "Screw Authority" attitudes without provacation, just glance their way and they are "All up in your Kool Aide". Had this student asked respectfully to call home and have a parent (if there is one) bring her a change of clothes I guarentee she would have been allowed in. AND once and for all, if she has made it as far as her senior year in HS she KNOWS that ALL School Sponsored Events have a Dress Code-Even Prom! She said to Hell with the rules I am going to do what I want lets see what they do. Sorry Marche, they did the right thing
Marche's dress was skimpy but so are most of the prom dresses from what I have seen. If she was not allowed even to cover up a bit and enjoy the prom, that's pretty unfair. And jailing a student for attire is just plain ridiculous. Verbal or physical abuse is the reason why the police migth need to be called. At our recent high school prom, I saw bare stomach and incredibly low cut dresses. In fact, I see that everyday.
