Prom dress gets student arrested
Filed under: Teens, Activities: Babies, Places To Go, In The News, Weird But True

That's right--she didn't get banned from the prom or kicked out of school--she was actually arrested! Marche Taylor was escorted from the prom in handcuffs after she appeared on the premises in a scantily-clad outfit that served as her prom dress. And, to answer your question, yes, you would see nipple.
It's been a long time since I've been to a prom, so I can hardly say what's acceptable and what not, but after checking out the duds I have to say it seems a little...well, too little! Marche didn't actually make it into the event, and was stopped in the lobby of the local Marriott before she was able to get into the actual prom.
Taylor was advised she'd violated school dress code. After she offered to cover up she was still denied entry into the prom. According to Taylor, her choices were few: go to jail or go home. Luckily, she wasn't charged and was eventually released.
It's sad to hear of a young woman denied the chance to attend what should be one of a teen's most memorable experiences. While prom is never the way we expect it to be, I hardly think Marche Taylor could have imagined her evening would turn out that way. I imagine the chaperones who saw her dress weren't expecting that either!

I wonder if she is back at school revelling in the media hype or is she sitting somewhere crying while high schoolers call her a "slut or whore" behind her back. Some would be so bold as to say it to her face. All in all, the point is that her mother bought this dress for her. As a mother I can't imagine in my wildest nightmares of ever buying anything so ridiculous for my daughter. I am a younger mother, but I can guarantee my child would never walk out anywhere in an outfit like that. This incident is why the children of today have little or no respect for themselves or anyone else. The daughter and the mother both need to seek some counseling for issues of boundaries and respect.

leesa said...OMG Where did she get that dress...Hookers R Us? The big question is, SINCE she is still in high school, WHY would her mother agree to letting her wear something like that?!!!! Second question should be, what happened to prom being an elegant, memorable affair? Her friend looked wonderful, she on the other hand, um, not so much. My daughters are 22 and 23, neither live at home (one is in the military, the other moved out a year ago) and I would STILL throw an absolute hissy fit about them TRYING to wear something like that!!!! It's all about self respect ladies!!!!

kelli said...Yes she was wrong, but we have to stop and look at what the people in Hollywood show up on the red carpet wearing. These are the people that our youth of today have to look up to... J- Lo or should I say J-ho! and the list is many. Why are they not arrested? They are on TV wearing clothing with their breasts and asses hanging out for the whole world to see. Who do you think is watching this? Our children thats who! . It's a sad world that we live in today!

Stacy said...She dressed like a hooker, acted inappropriately and was treated as such.
Her mother needs her head examined.
