This title is misleading, especially coming from a child psychiatrist. Julia, the lovely girl for whom I helped shop for a junior prom dress, is now a lovely young lady in college. (I read the Julia post (see link) from 4 years ago. It’s weird to read stuff I wrote in the past. I sound sort of snotty in it. It’s mildly embarrassing, which, paradoxically, makes me want to post it even more. I thrive on humiliation.) Julia is a psychology major, and totally brilliant. I would have expected no less. She takes after her mom. She asked that I post a request so that she can get guinea pigs subjects for a psychology project. Go, Julia!

Thank you so much for posting this! =)
My pleasure! Does it seem like 4 years since we went shopping? I’m old, so it seems like yesterday!
Done! Good luck, Julia! Happy to be a guinea piggie!
Loved the prom dress tale — i tried to talk my bohemian daughter into doing that! She’d shopped thrift stores and made recycled items for all of her high school years. She found a prom dress on her own. Half price at the thrift store. $1.25 about broke the bank… i did talk her into a pair of cute new shoes, though.
You’re so nice, DF! A $1.25 prom dress has got to go down in bargain history.
It’s shocking that that was four years ago. Or I’m ancient. Or both. In either case good for Julia. I’ll check out the link and maybe be one of her monkees.
I know, right? We’re not ancient – she is. Thanks, Polly!
I’m a Monkee
Good little Monkey! I’ve made some banana souffle for you…
What a great mom-friend you are! I enjoyed trekking back in time and reading your prom dress post! And good luck to Julia!! I’ll check out her link.
Thanks, Les! I get my vicarious thrills from my friends with girls. They’re so very different.
