 Does anyone have a black purse or dark gray shoes or any color dress? Everyone knows that getting ready for a dance is half the fun.Trying to find the right shoes, buying the flowers, spending hours getting the curls perfect are just a small part of the charm of preparing for a dance. Getting ready for a dance is a group effort that begins weeks before the dance. As soon as the date is made, the search for the dress begins Friends' wardrobes are gone over with a finetooth comb; perfect strangers are called in hope of locating the ideal outfit. After a dress is found, shoes and a purse must be acquired to complete the outfit. On the day of the dance, the flowers must be picked up in early afternoon, then, its back home for a long, relaxing bubble bath. Next comes a two-hour cosmetic session that includes painting fingernails. drying hair, putting in curlers, putting on make-up, taking out curlers, and. finally, getting dressed. After weeks of preparation. perfection is achieved and it's time to go to the dance Preparing for a dance for guys is a lot less complicated than it is for girls Guys also have to pick up flowers, but this takes very little of their time. Most guys allow forty-five minutes for showering and dressing for a dance. Compared to the couple of weeks it takes girls to get ready, forty-five minutes is a mere pittance. It's no small wonder that girls anticipate dances more than guys do. After all, girls have weeks of sweat and heartache invested in the evening while guys have forty-five minutes and some flowers. Hopefully, the evening will meet the expectations of guy and girl alike. Becky Buckner 18 Djnces The dance itself is only part of it — the preparations take just as much time and energy
