Madison High School Senior Forgets Handcuffs for Prom Outfit, So Cops Provide Them

While most of America was watching CBS to find out who the winner of Survivor Micronesia: Fans vs Favorites was (congratulations Parvati Shallow), Marche Taylor, a senior at Madison High School in Houston, Texas, was wondering what her prom would have been like. When Taylor showed up to her prom, school officials would not let her in, claiming that her outfit was “too skimpy” and “too revealing.” (Click here for a link to a video that includes pictures of the prom dress.) So Taylor offered to modify her dress and cover up some of her body, but that was not enough for the official, because she had no undergarments on. Therefore, Taylor was given the choice of either going home or going to jail. In turn, Taylor requested her money back. It was at this point, that the arguing became more heated. The police were called and Taylor was handcuffed and escorted from the prom.

What are your thoughts? Is the dress too skimpy? Does it matter if the Taylor was 17 or 18? Since she is a senior, she may be going to college next year. Is that dress an outrage at a college function or at a club?

One of my questions is, what do Taylor’s parents think? Personally, I am not as offended by this outfit as others. I have seen a lot worse. In the end, I think the use of handcuffs was probably excessive, but may have been necessary. I can only imagine the scene that was raised at the hotel.

That outfit was in very poor taste for someone her age. Yes i agree with, " there are worst outfits" but for your prom. You've got to be kidding me. She and her parents need guidance
