I wasn't into prom in high school, but I ended up going anyway after a sophomore I knew insisted for a week straight that I "could not miss the single most important event of my senior year." She promised that she and her mother would "take care of everything." The day of prom, I finally relented.

I showed up to their house with a pair of shoes and pantyhose and they proceeded "to do me up." We had a ball with my hair and makeup, and they even provided the only dressy dress they had on hand, kudos of my friend's 8th grade church confirmation -- a square, white, lacey sheath that hung heavily on my frame. I sat down to a homemade meal on china and the entire family gathered to send me off with pictures and a wave.

My updo "pile-on" fell within the first hour and I appeared to be a large, white apparition in pictures surrounded by my sequined and very sexy friends. It turned out to be a very fun prom after all.

With prom just around the corner for many high schoolers, we've got a ton of fabulous hairstyles to choose from, plus oodles of makeup tips. Check out:
