Earrings Too Expensive For The Young Crowd
All three girls wished they could wear a dress like the ones the sexy movie actresses wore. The gowns they tried on this afternoon were all too revealing. Their parents would not buy them a dress that looked like something out of a playboy magazine.
They stood in front of the swarovski earrings and picked out what they liked. There was a green pair that were long with oblong emerald stones and white smaller stones at the level of the earlobe. Traci thought they would be perfect with one of the dresses she had tried on earlier.
Each girl saw herself in a slinky dress with sparkles on her earlobes. They had seen movie starts on TV wearing some of these very earrings. They all liked what they saw.
They laughed and said earrings should always come in threes instead of twos. How often do you lose one of them they wondered. They all agreed that each had lost many earrings even though they were only seventeen.
Now they thought if they each bought identical pairs, they would each lose only one and could take an extra from one another to make a pair. They couldn’t lose more than one each. That left at least one matching pair.
They moved to the next display case to look over rhodium earrings. Traci looked back longingly at the pair of swarovski desert glow earrings. Wish I had over a hundred dollars to spend on earrings she thought.
Her dress would be all she could expect her mother to pay for this year. She would pay for shoes and a purse with baby sitting money. The earrings were way out of her budget this year.
The girls moved on after viewing the rest of the earrings. They went out to the food court and bought sodas. Sitting down, they began to lament about how to get rid of acne. This is a topic most teenagers spend a lot of time talking about.
They decided to stop worrying about pimples and bought a plate of nachos to share. Traci had a date with a football player for the prom. The other girls had been asked but had not decided yet who to go with. If they didn’t get an invite from a boy they liked, they would go with each other.
Many of their other friends did that cause prom was expensive. Also, it was a way to reject tradition. Just like dressing Goth or Emo, they were rejecting parental objections against the way they looked and acted. It has been the way of teenagers for decades.
