When I got to practice, I was crushed when I showed one girl, who showed another, who showed another, each laughing louder than the last at the dress I'd proposed wearing. You see, this catalog showcased gowns with sleeves, backs and fronts.
"Are they ALL like this?" One girl asked, flipping the pages in hysterics.
"How can you even dance in that?"
"I'd wear this one at my funeral."
I wanted to cry, but I managed to reclaim my catalog and secure a safe place for it deep in the abyss of my backpack. I got the dress anyways, and I felt beautiful. I had a fun time with my friends, and I'll never forget the sense of peace I felt in choosing a dress that didn't compromise my standards.
And I danced like crazy that night. Win, win.

Oh, and in case you were wondering...
how many pictures were taken to get the tink shot...

I think this is so cool! My favorite shots of you in your prom dress are the ones with your long hair down. But I agree, I hope we get to see these fancy things out partying!
Hey Veronica! I remember you wearing that dress! It's beautiful and I can't believe anyone would be snotty and disrespectful enough to make fun of your dress, which represents your beliefs! I'm so happy to see you're doing well with your family! I miss the good ole days of high school theater sometimes, but it's good we've all gone on to better thing!
Sofia! It's insanely awesome to hear from you. I totally miss the theater days! I think about you guys allll the time. But yeah, some things in high school were better left in the past. I hope you are doing well and continue changing the world for the better! Vote Sofia, 2012!
