I have to say that this was kind of a horribly written article. They kept emphasizing the fact that this girl was going to miss her prom. Forget the fire..this girl can't go to prom! Now her life will be ruined forever!

From the picture, that looks like one large dress.

Girl comes home from prom: "I had fun and looked so pretty!"
(Family sits by ashes and looks at her.)
Dad: "Have fun living in that dress until we can buy you some more clothes."
Girl: "But I went to the prom!"

I hated to say how large I thought that dress looked, but it is...quite so. And yes, there was a lot of focus on the prom and the dress. A younger person might look at it that way. I am guilty of being in my own world too. And if my world was the prom that is where my focus would be. I just hope that they were insured and can reclaim as much of their lives as possible.
