What's the Point of Mormon Prom?

I wanted to begin this article, “It’s that time of year, when teenage girls across America pin their favorite gowns, experiment with gorgeous hair styles, the latest in make up application, and plan the perfect mani-pedi.” But the truth of the matter is, dreams of primping are not restricted to prom season. Teenage girls pay attention to their dress year-round, and they start pondering prom attire months before the actual event.

Along with the delight of primping and preening come many pitfalls. As fun as it is to glam-up, these pitfalls may tempt adults to cancel prom event all together. When the students at one high school began renting yachts for their prom evening, a principle in New York put his foot down, and crushed the high school prom in its entirety.
