The Porn Look Is In

This could be what your little girl wants to wear to the prom.

Prom Dress


January 24, 2005 -- PROM princess or porn queen?

This prom dress is so skimpy, even the designer's CEO wouldn't let his teenage daughter wear it. But the dangerously revealing gown, prominently advertised in Seventeen Prom, YM Prom and Teen Prom, and on sale in a Midtown shop, is a top seller for the company this season.

"I was shocked when I first saw it, but now it's one of our top 20 dresses nationwide," says Nick Yeh, the CEO of Xcite, the Stafford, Texas, company that designed the dress and some 200 other styles this season.

"I have a 15-year-old daughter and, no, I would not recommend she wear this dress.

"As a businessman," he adds, "I'm not judging what a teenager should wear or not wear. It's up to the parents to decide for their own children."


Want to know why our kids are having so much sex these days? Its not the movies or the celebrities causing it. Look no further than the bolded statement above if you want to see the real reason.

Parental apathy is a terrible thing.

Update:

According to the dress company website, this particular dress comes in sizes up to 30.

Now that's offensive.

Update:

Looks like the New York Post might have had the story backwards. Literally.

Somehow I can’t see the mechanics of that dress working for anything above a B-cup.

Are you sure that’s supposed to be worn by a girl? Cause to me, it looks like some sort of gladiator costume, or something that a male trapeze artist would wear.

It is actually on backwards.  A model couldn’t figure out how to put it on and modeled it backwards - and sales shot through the roof.  (I didn’t think it provided much more in the way of cover and support turned around, though.)

The funny thing (to me) is that the designer is in Stafford, which is next to Sugar Land where I live.  Makes me wonder how many degrees from Kevin Bacon I am now.
