in for prom season

colorful and more revealing dresses are finding favor among
high school girls.

nothing revealing.”
Tasha Blackmon, a student at Philip O. Berry Academy who
works at After Hours formal wear, said she is going for a
“Cinderella” look for her May 15 prom. She plans to wear a
strapless gown that is fitted in the waist and has a blooming
.skirt. “I want to be different,” she said.
Blackmon said other girls at the prom will more than likely
be wearing halter-top and skin-tight dresses.
Another fashion trend that After Hours manager Jennifer
McCam said she has seen among boys this season is the use
of pink. “We’ve had more guys ask for pink than girls,” she
said.
Once upon a time, a boy who wore pink was ridiculed. Now,
pink is en vogue. Last year, McCam said baby blue was the
color of choice. ‘TSlot so many guys are looking for the longer
length jackets. They are more into the function of the jacket,”
she said.
The most popular tuxedo rental this year is the white or
ivory Claiborne suit, along with top hat and cane.
“Most guys are trying to be different with the cream or white,
hut little do they know when they get to the prom, they wall all
look alike,” Blackmon said.
Tips on how to get

exercise you get that deter
mines if you gain or lose
weight. Most women need to
eat about 1,600 calories per
day, with no more than 30
percent - about 480 calories -
from total fat. Balance your
meals throughout the day. If
you have a high fat or high-
calorie breakfast or lunch,
make sure you eat a low-fat
dinner.
Fm always on the go and
often have to eat fast foods.
Choose wisely. WithaUttle
know-how, fast food can be a
part of a healthy weight-loss
program. Choose salads and
grilled foods instead of fried
foods, which are high in fat
and calories, and only use
high-fat, high-calorie top
pings in small amounts.
Don’t supersize! If you do
order fried foods like french
fries, try to split an order
with a friend or order a
smaller portion.
My hair will be ruined.
Find a style that works. If
you don’t exercise because it
will ruin your hairstyle, con
sider wearing a natural style
that holds up to frequent
shampoos, like braids, twists
or locks. If natural isn’t your
thing, try a short haircut
that’s easy to wash and wear
or a style that you can pull
back with a headband or
scrunchie. Whatever you do,
don’t let you hair keep you
from a fitness program.
