Hee! Oh, I'm quite sure you were all stunning fourteen year olds who
found the perfect color and cut of dress, applied just the right
amount of make-up, and did your up-do just so, for your very first
formal event as a young lady without a bit of help.

Lynda:

I don't know about the others who replied, but I didn't (at 14-18) go to any
of the formals at my schools. I didn't have parental permission. I did have
permission to invite a young man of my choice to dinner (chaperoned) and I
found out later that the young man I would have asked given the guts to do
such a thing also had permission from his parents to invite a young lady of
his choice to dinner (chaperoned) but at the time we were both too timid and
probably too embarrassed. So my first formal was after high school, when I
was in college. I was an undergrad and one of the grad students asked me to
one of their formals.
