Prom Prep

Prom First Aid

By: Lori Kremen

It's no secret: the clutch you bring to your prom is mostly for show. However, with a few small additions, that tiny pocket of silk can become a life saver. In all probability, you won't have a prom emergency. However, it never hurts to be prepared. If you want to play it safe (and still have room for you other prom essentials), get your gal pals to each carry one or two of these emergency items in their bags. You (and your friends) will not regret it.

Superglue: In a world where acrylic nails and heels break, superglue can get you out of even the stickiest of situation. (Make sure you also have a solvent. sticky hands? I don't think so!)

Cell Phone: Especially if you have a whole prom weekend planned, it helps to check in with parents every couple of hours, to show them how responsible you are. With summer right around the corner, that extra bit trust can take you a long way. Keeping your cell with you can also keep you and your prom party connected.

Tide-to-go: It is a universal truth that stains only occur when you're trying to look your best. Club soda just doesn't cut it on couture.

Breath strips: Do you really want your date (or anyone else) to kiss you while your breath smells like garlic chicken?

Bobby Pins: Just in case your hair falls down, or you need to break out of those handcuffs.Bond, Jane Bond.

Band-aids: Four hours in four inch heels can cause blisters. When that happens, every step will feel like a searing hot poker. This will keep you dancing.

Q-Tips: These little beauties can quick-fix a make-up faux-pas.

Safety Pins: The dress may have cost you a thousand dollars, but that zipper is probably worth about a dollar. Many wardrobe malfunctions (I can't believe he stepped on my dress.) can be pinned up without a second thought. If you're the kind who likes everything to be perfect, a needle and thread might be a good addition as well.

Cash AND Card: Best case scenario: your limo stops at a diner to pick up munchies and your date didn't plan ahead that far. Worst case scenario: your limo party leaves without you and you need to take a cab home. Oh yeah.It happens.

Clear nail polish: To fix those runners in your panty hose. In this case, red nail polish is just not appropriate.unless you're wearing a red pantyhose, you vixen!

Tampon: One of those essentials that you may not need.but someone else probably will.

Pain relievers: This is the best night of your life. A little pain shouldn't keep you from partying!

Compact mirror: The ladies room is always swamped.

Make-up Remover Pads: If you're wearing mascara, you'll look like a raccoon by midnight. One or two of these will help you look fresh and clean.

Condoms: Sex is a very personal choice, but having these can never hurt. Prom is supposed to be the best night of your life, not the biggest mistake. Even if you're not planning on having sex, you could always use them as water balloons!
