grwm for PROM even though it’s *CANCELLED*

[@revti6193]

I gasped when I saw her prom photos on Instagram. She looks like an absolute goddess. It's not necessary to show skin to look good. My family is conservative too and I love how you inspire everyone. Love your daily outfits too

[@allisongutama8110]

Revti sain Exactly! I love how unique and original Marla is ♥️

[@leahlucas950]

For my prom I wore a black lace long sleeve body suit with a huge tutu skirt, very covered, but I literally had my Cinderella moment with that dress bc literally everyone would stop and look and guys that would never care about fashion even complimented me! I think some of the best dresses are the ones that cover more. Not only do they look more expensive but they also give a more elegant look!

[@allisongutama8110]

leah lucas omg same, for my prom dress last year a wear a long dress, idk how to describe it lol. For me, it was not the best dress but I received so many compliments and one person even said it was the most beautiful dress of the night, elegant and simple. I think you just have to be elegant, less is more. The rest of the girls were wearing scandalous dresses and showing a lot of skin.

[@revti6193]

@lycheelex and her dress has so much going on (in a good way) that no one ever notices that she's not showing any skin

[@revti6193]

@@allisongutama8110 but it's not only about being covered. It's about how good she looks without wearing anything revealing. Only after watching her for the first couple of months I realized it was truly amazed.

[@aka_caro]

just because there are “worse things” going on everyone that had things like prom, graduations specially or anything like that have a right to be sad & upset. I look back on my graduation and prom and being with my friends and I cannot imagine not having had that, so it’s okay if someone out there is sad about it your feelings r valid ❤️

[@megansimpson1918]

Carolina P. Thank you!! Finally someone said it

[@BDawg-zt2cu]

@Carolina P. I typed a 2 long page letter for the class of 2020 and their parents to read explaining why we should get our prom, etc instead of later. I copied and pasted it below, please screenshot or copy/paste into a doc, show it to your parents, friends, and their parents the following: Written in May 2021 Dear parents of high school graduates of 2020, It has been almost a year since the class of 2020 graduated from high school without any activities other than the drive-thru parade, at least from my high school. As the Class of 2021 is about to graduate soon, most of them will have a few of their activities in some form while the class of 2020 got less of it, which I believe is unfair unless we do it when we can. After such a difficult and divisive 12 months, we definitely deserve to have a reunion as soon as possible in almost the same form we would have had our senior activities. I would prefer not to have them sponsored by schools/school districts or to be at any high school campuses as we have already finished high school. It’s much better to do prom and other activities later instead of never. After the drive-by parade, I did feel good about myself in general, but after doing what I want to do that I would have done, I will feel even more better and accomplished about myself, just like other people would. Birthdays and holidays are once every year, it’s really no big deal that people couldn’t have gatherings/go to certain places that we like for those special days due to COVID because we have done it many times in the past, and we can soon continue to do it again for many years to come. Everyone only graduates once each from elementary, middle, high schools, and college once in their entire lifetimes, and high school and college graduations are the most valuable because they show significant steps of the graduates entering the real world. Those who haven’t done much to celebrate like envisioned before, we still deserve to do so. Because of those circumstances, we can celebrate last year’s high school graduates as soon as it is safe to have gatherings in person. We are all in this together and we will get through this together. Like always, congratulations to the class of 2020! For the past four years, the class of 2020 had been looking forward to having their proms and other activities to celebrate graduation, we all know it was ruined but we can soon enough be able to do at least some of it once in for all as high school is one of the biggest chapters of our lives and we still deserve to celebrate in the near future with things getting better. For the past year, I have been having very mixed feelings every so often about whether or not we will even have these activities even though I would really like for them to happen. It keeps me and some others up at night every now and then. This means sometimes I am worried they may not have happened even after COVID, other times I think positive believing it will happen. We moved on from high school, however, the prom and other activities at the end of senior year is the most valuable part I don’t want to give up. Other people probably don’t want to as well. We have a chance to do it as the COVID situation improves. I am aware of people who would say things like “Move on”, “You already finished high school so be grateful for what you had”, ”Get over it”, ”it’s most likely not gonna happen because you finished high school already”, things like that. It’s funny how there’s people who think like that but it’s very sad too. I would not give into phrases like that, because I try to believe in thinking positively towards the future. I’m grateful for what I had last June, it was all we could do at the time, but I would like to have the other activities as soon as possible especially with the COVID situation on track to improve because it has been for the past few months and restrictions easing every now and then, hopefully by December 2021 at the latest when everyone is home from college. Maybe we could do it this summer depending on how the covid situation goes. My top 2 events I would like to do as a class to do would be prom and picnic. As for anyone who owns a prom/ballroom venue, please start thinking about working with the class of 2020 on planning their proms. It may take up to 6 months to plan, maybe less. It all depends on how much it will cost and how many people are willing to plan, which I hope there will be some of them out there. While most classmates will be busy with studying and college life in the fall and maybe a class or 2 this summer for some, I feel that some parents would be down to try their best to make time to plan prom. Some classmates may be able to do some of it, who knows. It’s very unfortunate that there are some people who may not be able to make it because they are in military branches (marines, Air Force, navy, etc). For those who can’t, they will be greatly missed and there can be alternative options for them whenever they come home to make them feel accomplished. We highly honor their service and commitment to the United States. I had been hearing online about some colleges hosting a ceremony this year for last year’s grads. Actual ceremonies for last year’s high school grads would be a great idea too since we couldn’t all be together at once as a class! High school and college graduation ceremonies are truly valuable because turning the tassel together as a class would truly mean a lot. This would be the only event that some teachers and principals would be invited to as all events for the Class of 2020 will not be sponsored by any schools or school district. As for my high school, from what I think I remember, there were no speeches from the valedictorians, salutatorians, principal, a few students who were top leaders in ASB, and the inspirational teacher most people voted on to give a speech. For those who can’t make it because they are in a military branch, their family still deserves to be there and maybe different people can walk across the stage to represent those who couldn’t make it for that reason. As for Grad Nite at Disney California Adventure and other theme parks, they still deserve to celebrate the Class of 2020 after so long of not being able to! Plan A can be to do it similarly to how it would have been done last year but without chaperones, and it would be planned all over again but without schools/school districts being involved in any form. If that won’t happen, we always have Plan B, for smaller groups of classmates to go during their own times. Another part of Plan B is for all theme parks to offer discount admission to all high school graduates of 2020 (and of course 2021 because they didn’t get to have Grad Nite either) from whenever each theme park opens at full capacity all the way through the end of summer 2022. I believe that is a good choice because we don’t know when the theme parks will open at 100% and in our home states, we will have to see how things go after most (or all) covid restrictions get lifted, whether the mask mandate would still be in place or be removed. I live in California and a full reopening is tentatively scheduled for June 15, but the mask mandate will still remain in place indefinitely. For anyone who works for theme parks, especially ones at management positions, please start making plans to allow my class and this year’s class to later on come in and enjoy a fun time celebrating their accomplishments, maybe plan actual grad nites but definitely offer all of us discounts at least, especially Disneyland and California Adventure, where it’s expensive to go. Senior year is over, and it has been fun during the time it lasted in person. I have had good and bad experiences throughout high school, and I am grateful to have met so many of the people I met. I have not seen most of them in person anywhere or anytime since the first 3 months of 2020. Many of the people I know from high school are very valuable to me, including my acquaintances. I highly cherish them and look forward to being with them soon. At least for now, I prefer not to reveal to a lot of people who I am, because of all of this I was saying, and once again because I would not want to draw attention to myself or criticism from people from people telling me to get over it and things like that. Let’s all start thinking about these activities as soon as possible because summer is around the corner! Sincerely, A 2020 high school graduate from San Diego, California

Didnt care for prom, but i loved my graduation ceremony, wearing a gown, taking pictures with school mates, collecting flowers and having your family and friends cheer you on as u collect your diploma on stage.
