Hard to say what the right thing would be to do at this point... It's very individual. However I WILL say that this time of year the news affiliates froth at the mouth for "prom stories." From CNN on down to the local TV station, around prom time they love to cover stories about teens who have been banned from wearing this, that or the other from their prom.

The most recent ones I can think of are the girl in Georgia? Alabama? (I forgot) whose prom dress was too revealing, and she chose 3 days suspension from school and 17 other seniors chose "paddling" as a punishment...

Then there was the prom that was canceled to stop a lesbian couple from attending.

If this were called in to the media, they'd probably LOVE to have a story of their very own....

Just a thought.

Otherwise, how about a kilted entourage? Kilted limo driver, kilted bunch of "protesters" who, obviously would not be able to enter the event or be on school grounds, but would certainly make a big statement to teachers, attendees and passers-by.

Anyway, whatever you decide, thanks for keeping us updated with your situation and whatever happens, don't let this turn you off from dressing as you please elsewhere, on any other occasion. Your time in high school is almost over anyway.
