Skimpy Prom Dress Lands Marche Taylor in Jail

Marche Taylor's custom-made prom dress left her spending her prom night in a Houston area jail. The school stopped Taylor from entering her prom at the lobby when they deemed her skimpy prom dress as a violation of the school's dress code, according to www.khou.com. Taylor tried to argue her way into the prom. It was this argument that lead to the police being called. Taylor was then lead away in handcuffs to spend the rest of her prom night in jail. She stated that the school only gave her two choices go home or go to jail. She chose jail

As a mother trying to help her daughter pick out a prom dress, I have come across my own battles of what is appropriate for a girl of this age to wear. Girls today are bombarded with racy pictures of girls their age or even younger. They feel that it is the way they should be dressing. As a single mom I have found a couple ways to work with my daughter to make sure her choices are appropriate to our school. Our school deems that clothing should not be deemed as indecent. And such attire is prohibited from the prom.

When my daughter is looking at racy pictures, like that of Miley Cyrus, I use this time to discuss the ways Hollywood is different then real life. I tell her that many girls feel they must grow up fast and show more skin to be respected in Hollywood. I also have told her that she is beautiful for her mind as well as her body. It is for this reason that she should dress to showcase both.
