Having a ball
the outrageous costs of senior ball
never-ending one in trying to get it. It took months to find the right one and, reluctantly, another few months to track it down and get it in her hands. Designer accessories from Betsey Johnson, for all those designer brand know-it-alls out there, were rounded out to cost her $155. With her makeup and hair finished, she forked over $120 for both. A hundred here, another few hundred there and there you have it, your money coming in as fast as it’s going out. Half a grand already - expensive taste must run through the halls of Rocklin for the ladies. Unfortunately, for Sklonick, the cost of her senior ball would amount to $1,040. Frugal was not an option in any way, shape, or form. As for the average cost of senior ball, a grand was nothing to what was spent. Rocklin formal dances will always seem to have a way with pulling money out of those pockets, willingly or not. So for you underclassmen girls out there, start putting those coins to use in your piggy bank. The cost of senior ball these days is a down payment on an apartment.

The cost of Senior Ball for all those finishing touches definitely exceeds the norm, considering last year’s junior prom I tried to be more frugal and spent a whopping amount of around $300 for everything. Whereas at the finale of all dances I spent a grand, and there it goes out the door. At this point I guess I should be able to admit that I do have expensive taste. As for Angela Skolnick, her Sherri Hill dress shipped in from Oklahoma was another $400 dress to light up the Ma nd evening.
