Longing For Pretty Earrings At The Mall
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.
Each girl saw herself in a slinky dress with sparkles on her earlobes. They had seen movie starts on TV wearing some of these very earrings. They all liked what they saw.
It would be better if they sold three earrings n each set, they guessed. Then if you lose one, you still have a pair to wear. They all knew they had lost more than a few earrings already in their lives.
They concluded that they should all buy the same pair of earrings. Then they’d have six of the same earring. They guessed they would be able to retain at least one pair out of them over time.
They walked around the jewelry counter and stopped to view the rhodium earrings. Traci looked over her shoulder at the gorgeous swarovski desert glow pair of earrings she loved so much. If only she had a hundred dollars to spend on earrings.
Their dresses might cost enough to break the budget as it was. Baby sitting money would cover shoes and accessories but not a hundred dollar pair of earrings.
The girls moved on after viewing the rest of the earrings. They went out to the food court and bought sodas. Sitting down, they began to lament about how to get rid of acne. This is a topic most teenagers spend a lot of time talking about.
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.
