Old BM Dresses

Someone just emailed me this...figured it was interesting to pass on...

Off Like a Prom Dress

Time to face the music. You will never wear that powder-blue bridesmaid dress again. (Thank God.) And that lovely Alaia from years ago is never going to make it out the door -- at least not on your hips. And your own prom dress? Please.

Out with the old, you pack-rat! Why not donate the lovely finery gathering dust in your closet to someone who could really use it? From March 3 to 31, Operation Fairy Dust is collecting gently worn formal dresses, accessories, and unopened cosmetics for distribution to New York City high-school girls in need of prom dresses of their own.

Tiaras off to the folks at NY BACKed (New York Benefit & Aid Committee for Kids), the nonprofit whose happy-hour benefits at local bars provide do-gooder hipsters an alternative to the charity-ball circuit, for organizing this.

Now go hit the closet. There's a girl out there who needs a fairy godmother.


Bring donations from 3/3-3/31 to the Community Resource Center, AOL Time Warner building, 75 Rockefeller Plaza, lobby. Enter on 51st Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. For more information, go to nybacked.org.

LOL - 'gently worn' ! Does that mean they don't want the one with beer stains and cigarette smoke in it! LOLOLOL! I guarantee you they don't want my 14 year old prom dress! It was lavender and pink and had a big ole bow at the back!

I know I have a light blue BM dress with a huge red wine stain and done of water stains from the rain...I don't think they want that either. I actually just threw that one away. I was like why am I keeping this????

Re: Old BM Dresses

I had really, really big hair. And really, really big earrings. 1989, ladies, was not a good year for high school fashion.
On the flip side I was tan and skinny.

I wore my prom dress as a halloween costume a few years ago...I was a dead prom queen!

I look at my prom dress and I just want to die. FH and I actually went to the prom together and when he picked me up for our first wedding together as a couple last year I opened the door wearing the prom dress. It was hysterical. Our prom picture is such a topic with all of our friends that I am actually included in with our placecards at the wedding.

Re: Old BM Dresses

I meant about donating the dresses!

But, the prom pics is a good idea too, except that for fear of embarassing myself beyond belief I won't be participating!!!
