An Ode to Movie Proms
My TV prom slideshow put me in the mood for even more prom fun — this time in the movies. Often the prom is the setting for a climactic moment, whether climatically romantic or, well, the climactic moment when everyone dies. Either way, watching these scenes can be cathartic, depending on your own personal experience with the teenage ritual.

In Praise of the TV Prom
Many of you felt my pain when it came to this week's episode of Gossip Girl. Thanks to the Lily flashbacks, just a few Upper East Side prom scenes got squeezed in between trips back to '80s LA — and that means an entire generation of GG fans got cheated out of the kind of episode that can be the highlight of a teen TV show's lifespan. So I've gathered up some memories of favorite proms from TV shows past.

Pretty and Cheap — Proms Get a Budget-Friendly Makeover
Though Cinderella might have been the quintessential rags-to-riches story ending in a lavish ball, the current mean-stepmother economic reality has many prom-goers tightening their cummerbunds, and embracing a cheap and charming alternative.
It hasn't been uncommon for modern teens to spend anywhere between seven hundred and a thousand dollars on just the prom dress — a lavish spectacle egged on by shows like MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen — but as more and more families are finding it harder just to pay rising fuel and food costs, the clock is striking midnight on luxuries like pricey prom-wear. To see how proms are getting an '08 budget makeover, read more
Teeny Prom Dress Earns Girl Accessories: Handcuffs. Fair?
Prom night in Houston brought out the corsages — and the controversy. One high school senior came decked out in a dress that school officials thought was less than suitable. Yellow criss-crosses of fabric made up the top portion of her custom-made frock.
Buzz In: Did You Have A Prom Song?
The horror remake Prom Night, opening this weekend, doesn't look like the kind of movie I'd love, but it did get me thinking about my own prom (which was, thankfully, free of blood and guts). There was a vague Dirty Dancing theme to mine, and the prom song was "I've Had the Time of My Life," which seemed a little presumptuous to me. As Rayanne from My So-Called Life would say, I had a time, but I certainly wouldn't call it the time of my life.

It's Pop Culture Prom Week
Break out the wrist corsages and sparkly tiaras — it's prom week! Yes, I know it's only January, but the pop culture universe has brought everyone's favorite spring formal back this week, big time. Consider:
