1. Prom Magazines and Prom Reality: The Myth of the ‘Perfect Prom’.

Abstract

Prom magazines aimed at adolescent girls construct the high school prom as a ?perfect event? that girls must invest in heavily in order to have a good time. Both advertisements and editorial content repeatedly use the word ?perfect? to describe the necessary preparations, dress, male date, and evening. But the realities of the prom are very far from ?perfect.? Girls attending the prom recognize the discrepancy between what the magazines are about and what the prom is really like. Thus, girls are not ?cultural dupes?; they do not blindly follow all of the edicts of the prom magazines. But they also do not act with complete agency or resistance?they weigh the benefits and negatives of certain attire and action and make decisions that often fall within the guidelines of cultural norms.
