French Girl
Earrings Too Expensive For The Young Crowd
The three close friends had been through all the shops looking at prom gowns. They tried on some. Some they loved but knew they were too low-cut for their parents to approve of. The ones that looked like they belonged on playboy models were not going to be accepted by parents.
Now they were looking at jewelry. Spread out before them, protected under glass, were dozens of pairs of swarovski earrings in a rainbow of sparkling colors. They were in all colors from the palest green to emerald and from powder blue to topaz. Each girl visualized them sparkling on her ears on prom night.
Traci thought she had seen a woman wearing a pair just like it at a formal awards dinner earlier that month. They all were impressed by the lovely earrings. They decided white with gold tones would match just about any formal gown.
Laughlingly they thought about how easy it would be to lose an earring. It seemed practical to sell earrings in groups of three instead of pairs. Each girl had lost favorite earrings more than once.
It would be a great idea to buy the same earrings for all three girls. Then after a few years, they would be sure to have at least one pair that was not lost. They agreed that was a good plan.
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.
After admiring all the earrings in the store, they agreed that someday they would all have jewels. They strolled out to the food court. Sitting down with cold sodas they gave their attention over to a discussion about how to get rid of acne.
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.
Lots of girls did that. It was like a new trend. They could reject tradition. Just like the kids who dressed Emo or Goth. It was a way to rebel against societal rules and regulations. Teens have been doing that since time immemorial.
