NEWS: Teen in skimpy dress banned prom & handcuffed

Monday, May 12, 2008

promdress.jpg

Teenager Marche Taylor was banned from her high school prom and led away in handcuffs after turning up in a skimpy dress over the weekend. She’d dared to bare her legs, shoulders and midriff in the risqué yellow outfit at the last sioree of Madison High School’s year in Houston, Texas. When the 17-year-old tried to get past door staff at the Sugar Land Marriott hotel’s ballroom, she was told she’d violated her school’s dress code. A confrontation turned nasty and police were called, escorting Taylor away in handcuffs.

This chic needs a BEAT DOWN! Where the heck were her parents? That is just unacceptable and my son already knows when it’s PROM time for him in 2 years, he better WATCH HIS DATE’S BACK! She should’ve been escorted out. Where is the respect and morals of these teenagers today? I’m VERY GROWN and wouldn’t wear that DRESS! SMH! Generation X

Where was her momma or did her momma make that dress. That was totally inappropriate! She also should not be graduating based on he language skills. Likeded is not a word.

Furthermore, why does she have that huge tattoo & tongue piercing. No one should be outraged by this.

@ #6 I kinda agree with you on one hand-especially in Sugarland TX, LOL. But her moms needs to be slapped for letting her look like she’s going to a job interview at the local “scripp club”…

And she was well within her right to ask for her money back if she couldn’t go.

No girl, white or black needs to wear a dress like that. It’s PROM, a school hosted event. How are her parents so lazy as to think it’s ok to let their daughter out wearing stuff like that? and then the same girl would no doubt complain if a guy touched her the wrong way. Stop inviting trouble. We do not live in some utopia where you can get away with wearing what you want like this. Real life don’t work that way. If it looks like a ho and dresses like a ho… what do you expect people to think???????!!! GAWD I am s sick of people cheering on this kind of behavior. Our women and girls walk around looking like hoes. If you do that I think you’ve given up your right to demand to be treated with respect when you have none for yourself. She got what she deserved. Only thing missing was the ass whooping at home.

&& at 6
there is absolutely no excuse or pardon for any female of any race to wear such an horrendous dress… that shit look like she ready to work the pole at the shakey butts…

she knew exactly what she was doin when she asked to have it made like that…&& yes i have seen worse, but its still no excuse…

damn, we have got to do better then this…it is just another reason for white people to make fun of us and talk more ishhh……

LETS GET IT TOGETHER PEOPLE….

i dont think there should be a dress code for prom, you should be free to express yourself however u feel comfortable doing so, thats garbage what they did. On that note, i must say that I have seen worse, even at my prom. The white girls came in some ish i cant even begin to explain..see through, cut outs, thongs all out, skin tight, no panties..yepp so be thankful its not her crotch we’re seeing. But yes where’s her mother and all those other girls mothers on a serious tip, because prom is a time to be elegant not trashy..and this look is trashy for a young lady like herself to be wearing anywhere.
With that said i disagree with how the situation was handled. Turn her away, yes..she already knew before hand that that type of get-up would not be approved, but the handcuffs, no no.
home girl looked a hot mess same way though, and after watching the video, its sad to see shes ghetto as hell and so young.

@16 ….I agree 100%. She looks like a prostitute in that dress. We complain about Lebron on the cover on Vogue in hooping shorts, but this is ACCEPTABLE?

It’s inappropriate for a school function. Period. But then again she knew that…

WTF

ok, so we have black women getting killed, kidnapped, raped, etc and the news hardly, if ever, cover that, but when a young black girl wears a promiscuous dress to her prom and is banned, OHHHH let’s put that shit all over the news.

Every station i turned to this afternoon had this story as a headliner.

So, black women can only get on the news when they’re portrayed as over-sexed, skimpy, ho-ish creatures, but when young black girls are kidnapped, when a young black woman is missing and her body is found dead, the media won’t talk about it?

i promise, every year around prom time, i see a major cover story on the local news, featuring a black girl wearing a skimpy dress. what’s the fascination?

Wow…I can’t say I’ve seen worse at my prom…but then again that was years ago…but none the less…it was inappropriate…sure it seems it could have been handled differently as far as handcuffs are concerned…but we don’t know the reasons behind the handcuffs…they only said “things got out of hand”. I think the school has every right to impose a dress code because it is a school sponsored function…if she was going to the club that’s different. SMH at some of you talking about if it was a “white” girl things would have been handled differently…and you know this how…I seriously don’t think race had any thing to do with it in this case…and some of you talking about you’ve seen worse at your prom…different schools have different policies…so there’s no comparison…

come on black folks when are we gonna get it together! her mama should have known better. then got the nerve to be on CNN bringing even more attention to herself making us look bad. they should have sent her @ss home for being so dumb. omigod what an embarrassment!

Uhhh who the hell cares about dress code? It is prom night the one time u can show the fuck out. I think it was in bad taste to reject her. She just showed some torso and legs I mean what the fuck is gonna happen. I don’t believe a school should have hand in telling someone what they can wear to prom. The outfit wasn’t even outrageous I have seen far worst. That school is a little too strict my old High School would have let her right in. Their is no reason for her to have missed her prom for such a minor thing.

36.

Uuum...

Monday, May 12, 2008 /

That is crazy! Ok, I must admit, I wore a two piece to my prom(2001). It was classy tho! My mom woulda never in her(37 years at the time) life let me get outta the driveway with this on! Everybody wants to test to see how lmuch ess they can wear every year and get into the prom. Its rediculous. Now some of these girls look cute, while others look like their just looking foward to after the prom. Im a young woman and I still dont understand it…Did her momma think it was cute or something?

37.

That’s what I’m talking about. That was the worst example of parenting I seen in a while. That girl had a big ass tattoo on her chest. She 17 years old. Her mother is allowing her to be that way. And “oh PLEASE” to anyone who says this is expression. In ALL school in Texas (Dallas independant School Grad) The School dress code is highly followed. She knew she was not allowed to wear that and that why she wore it. plain and simple. Who allows there kid to walk around like that. And we wonder why our kids grow up to be rapper, drug dealer, and gruopies

39.

Uuum...

Monday, May 12, 2008 /

I agree completely #27…..and at #29 about them only say “things got outta hand”…we cant say because we were not there.

Someone can at least give her a penny off the ground to go with the $0.99 refund she will get from that get-up. It’s hoochie, ghetto, and trifling. She looks just down right stank. Pass the Frebreeze!

This is really sad. I don’t understand why many young ladies don’t want to dress as young LADIES any more. Most MATURE men find a little mystery very appealing….vs. when you put it all out there, it’s not challenging and they feel no need to pursue the lady. The dress doesn’t even look like someone sewed it together…a twist here, a tie there, let’s tuck that there, and then VOILA!!! I can hear it now….’ooooooh girl, my dress gon’ be the $#!T…ya’ll ain’t seen nuffin like this befo’

Where was her prom date? If she had one, sad to say, we already know what he…scratch that…both of them had in mind for after prom…

@39….about the “things got out of hand” comment…I think that’s what they said in the video…that’s why I said…we don’t know what truly happened for the reasons behind the handcuffs…I can only assume she didn’t want to leave and was being resistant…

here in houston, which is were this girl is from, certain schools require certain dress code standards for prom dresses. ive been out of high school for almost 10 yrs but i remember the prom being a formal affair. but in recent years ive noticed that it seems the tackier, the more home made the dress looks, the better or so according to these kids today. this girl was tacky and tasteless. she looked a messed and deserved to be arrested for this fashion mistake. madison is a ghetto school with ghetto people. this girl looks older than 18 so im not surprised about her choice of dress. im sure her parents are just as ghetto as she is and couldnt approve or didnt care too much about what she wore. pathetic

47.

Quise

Monday, May 12, 2008 /

Her mama should have had her ass beat for letting her out of the house like that. She ain’t grown yet. Young ladies don’t wear dresses like that to the prom. Now arresting her would have been too much. Send her hot tail home!
I holla,

and again the school this girl attends is madison, it is a black high school. a ghetto school. this has nothing to do with her being black. it has to do with her being ignorant. im sure she acted a donkey fool when they denied her access to the prom. im an educated too and i hate to see students like her. her a$$ probably hasnt been to school all year but wanted to go to the prom.

49.

Uuum...

Are you sure that’s even a girl! She looks like a 2 dollar tranny hooker.

How is this even CNN news worthy?

Over 10,000 people died in an earthquake in China yesterday, another 30,000 in a cyclone and this soon to be on welfare, wannabe stripper is all over the news!

And…why in the world do people wear sunglasses indoors??

To the “Gutter-But Trollop”: First, I’m going to need you to throw some lotion up on that ashy azz face before you go up on national TV in your little rags…Thanks! (and I know yall peeped that ash)
Secondly, don’t you EVER, that’s right heffer… I said don’t you f*king EEEVer in your pre-paid life walk out the house wearing that sh*t again!! Sh*T looks like it was made for a DAHM Crack Head! If your going to dress like a Ho, do it right (see JLO)…She officially made my head hurt..Dahm!!!!!

This doesn’t surprise me. I mean I’ve seen worst as well but at least she did have a memorable night and she got the world wide coverage that she wanted. So see fairy tales happen after all. But I agree that this was not major news and we have other things that the media could’ve reported on like a missing child or a mother who has been killed. Matter in fact why not give coverage to the black teen who came to the prom dressed nicely and who should be commended for bringing her/his grades up to a A grade point average this year. There’s so much that we need to focus on and this surely isn’t it. Sounds like a personal problem to me. Next time she’ll think twice. As teenagers we all had/have the tendancy to dress provactive but that’s why parents are so important because telling ur child “no” can prevent death, damages, fines, or at the very least public embarrassment. Thank you maaaaaaa!

Not trying to judge a book by its cover, but she probably was asked to leave and got ghetto or loud so I dont feel sorry for this chic being arrested. Thats not even far to call that a dress..more like fabric just put together. I mean cmon..she outta known damn well she was gonna start smthng by wearing her that kinda outfit to a school event.

Disgraceful & distasteful!! Where in the hell awere her parents/guardians? No parent in their right mind allows their child to exit the home in that skanky get up. She deserved to be banned, but the handcuffing was over the top and unnecessary. However, she should have been arrested by the FASHION POLICE for this piece of cloth!! And her parents arrested for child neglect!

57.

TRAILBLAZER

Monday, May 12, 2008 /

Also, being handcuffed might’ve been a lil extreme but at least she wasn’t maced or thrown to the ground and kicked….and that’s only becuz there were witnesses. She need to recognize that she’s in the dirty south and her ass just escaped what could’ve been a dire situation becuz they just looking for a reason to hang somebody ass from a tree down there. She need to piper down and find Jesus. GOD is good, HE trying to tell her something and probably saved her life that night for all she know…
Some men, including teenaged boys, out here are crazy and will rape her ass if she’s not careful…it’s not a game here out. Somebody need to tell her…GOD is trying to. Rapists look like everyone else and she might’ve got gang raped if she went to that prom and got loose afterwards. I can see the handwriting on the wall.

58.

The dress a bit much but to be taken away in handcuff is extreme. She goes to my bestfriend cousin school and they had a dress code and she should have followed them.

Ok I think I am MORE upset with her FRIEND in that pic who told that $hit was ok!!! That is not a friend; to let you walk out the house like that.

To any of the young ladies on this board 18 and under, this is not acceptable for a respectable young woman. Not at all.

Just because you have a right to do something does not mean it’s right to do….

Freedom of expression……. is complete nonsense. You can easily argue that murder is freedom of expression…. Does that make it right??? NO!

I’m 18 years old & I would have never put on the dress to go to prom.

Monday, May 12, 2008 /

A prom is a school-sponsered activity, which means that the school does have the right to decide on a dress code. I think most would agree that dress is nowhere near appropriate for a high school dance. However, the school should have refunded her money.

I love when she said, “They didn’t give me any options; it was either go to jail or go home.” Um…you always choose HOME, idiot!

66.

Lilcherry

i agree..the dress was unacceptable…they had all right to turn her away…however, they could of reimburse her money…sucks 4 her though, cuz u only go to prom once

who da hell let her ghetto ass out of the house like that? the door shoulda woke up and smacked her back in the house as she was walking out of it!! and why don’t people figure out what colors look good on them? Yellow aint cute but on a few ppl and in small dosages….. seriously.. they need to pick up a Vogue mag and read up.

Prom is getting tacky though next thing you know people going to be wearing daisy dukes to prom like they at some club or something.My parents would beat the shit out of me wearing something like that to the prom.And now that I’m grown they still would beat me because it’s just distasteful for a formal affair.Grown people (at least I hope not) won’t wear this either.I guess she doesn’t know any better.But if she refused to leave the premises since the school is sponsoring and they have a right to throw out, they could handcuff her, but not in a brutal way like you see when crackheads get cuffed.It may been a weekend, but that’s still like school property so, hey….

This is where our society is today. People think they can do whatever they want without anyone saying anything. Why not dress like that for work. I guess dressing with everything hanging out is a good thing.

i'm gonna tell da truth

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 /

@23 Are you high girl? First you say that there shouldn’t be dress code at prom, but you should be able to express yourslef in whatever way you feel comfortable. Then you turn around dog her mama and friends and talk about how prom is an event of elegance and not trashy. Now which one is it? Come on girl get it together, are you having yourself a champange chronic nightcap? LOL!!! (That’s what playing in the background while I’m typing.) Now what if a girl who 5′10” weighing 338 lbs feel comfortable in the nude, would you want her dancing around you? I didn’t think so.

It’s a shame how some of you are condoning this. I bet not read some of you talking about how our community is in shambles when some of you are condoning what this DUMB, TRASHY NIGGA!!!! just did. I never use ni**a unless I think it suit the person, in this case it does.Then you wonder why women in general are disrespected. “YOU CAN’T DRESS LIKE A TRAMP AND EXPECT TO BE TREATED LIKE A LADY.” Grow Up people this very sad. We need to stop glorifying these video vixens and strippers because you know that’s exactly where this heifer is headed to. Hopefully she’ll get some sense before it’s too late. The ones who condone this should never become parents, we have enough idiotic parents out here, we don’t need more of you. This is another reason why we need the fathers in the household. We all know if her father was in the picture, there’s no way that girl would have made it out of her bedroom let alone out of the house looking like that. I hate to say that I’ve seen worse. It’s a shame that this girl don’t love herself like she should. SMH.

71.

i'm gonna tell da truth

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 /

Then to top it all off, this fool actually had the dress custom made! Child you need to get your money back from the designer don’t worry about the prom ticket. The material was just horrible. Look like something a blind woman made. Wait a minute, let me not insult the blind……..they would have never agreed to make such a distasteful dress.

im willing to bet her mama is no more than a welfare recipient that encourage’s this behavior cause they probably 12 years or so apart i see it all the damn time..just like today at the beauty supply store i seen a 2 yr. old child dropping and popping to lil wayne’ s lollipop and she knew the song WORD FOR WORD just waving her hands and everything and where is the mother? on the next damn aisle popping and dropping too smh

and why is she walking around with them big ass roses on,atleast go the grocery store and get a real corsage my lawd.. and does the other girl have on a stop watch i just know my eyes are decieving me but that’s what it look’s like

73.

JLO got alot of attention from wearing a similar dress…maybe its a cry for attention. Man people are so quick to call her ghetto and condemn the race the comes from over some material that is on HER body. Ignorance seems to have no boundaries.
