My friend Mena never went to her prom and she's really bitter about it. You can't talk about prom season in front of her because she immediately launches into her story and freaks out about people who got to attend their prom. Of course, Mena really does have reason to be bitter. She's got a really horrendous story.
When it was time for Mena to go pick out her dress, Mena mother offered to make a dress for her. And Mena, not being a suspicious person, accepted. She never really thought it was strange that her mother never measured her. Mena never even saw the dress in progress. Whenever she asked about it, her mother always said that she was working on it.
OK, so it's the day of the prom. Mena's boyfriend has his tux and has rented a limo. Her best friend has come over to do her hair and makeup. Mena's wearing the good underwear. Mena knocks on the door to her mother's craft room. Mena's dress is still in the cut apart form -- not a stitch made in the dress.
Apparently there was some, um, discussion. And crying. I can't imagine the horror. No wonder she's scarred for life.

Melody fished on June 2, 2003 03:17 PMPoor thing! What a horrible story. Her mother's lucky Mena didn't kill her!
Shannon fished on June 2, 2003 03:47 PMNow Melody, that is harsh. Funny as hell, but harsh.
I gotta say... I make stuff for my kids all the time... Christmas outfits, Halloween costumes... I've pulled many an all-nighter to get it done, but I'd NEVER leave it like that. NEVER. EVER.
That poor girl.
pippa fished on June 2, 2003 04:13 PMyikes..that story makes my heart hurt....i can't imagine the way she felt when she saw that dress...poor thing. :-(
jen fished on June 2, 2003 05:10 PMoh my goodness. that is insane.
i got dumped at my prom. and my date showed up late. yet, that all seems okay just about now....
ericalynn fished on June 2, 2003 05:39 PMShows where my mind must be... I read the opening sentence as "My friend Mena never went into porn and she's really bitter about it."
Wow, that's a sad story, though -- I would imagine she has some pretty huge issues with her mom as well.
Zonker fished on June 2, 2003 05:55 PMyup, i read that as porn too...
but that was high school... she should like, be "over" it now, shouldn't she? i mean, define "freaks out" when people talk about prom? does she go off, or just get sad?
don't get me wrong... that's a horrible story. but everybody's got their horrible stories from high school, right?
mikey fished on June 2, 2003 10:24 PMI don't know of a single girl who would have agreed to wear a dress she's never seen before.
Ben fished on June 3, 2003 09:05 AMOK-- just because my project management comment might have been construed as somewhat mean--
My date was a member of the Nazarene church and didn't believe in dancing. He also showed up with a tiny cross braided into the crown of his head.
I think Mena still had it worse, though.
Melody fished on June 3, 2003 09:25 AMooh that's horrid. I don't think I would be able to trust my mother again after that and wonder why she did it. Truly scarred! My mom made my dress for my first prom - and even though it was horrid - she made it and I wore it with love. Prom sucked though!
