Debutante Balls etc, your experiences..?

I grew up in Western Vic and there have always been Deb's. Mum says in her time women were far too busy burning bras to put a gown on and be 'received' by society.

I've partnered two girls and attended five Balls. Nothing like the balls my ute is used to attending...

Cheers wbute. It looks better in photos haha

Country school in the 90's. They had them but it was mainly about the girls getting dolled up and getting attention. Cars never played a part then. As has been said, that's a recent thing brought about by the selfish current "want everything bigger and better" generation. City schools tend to be more into the "Formal" which is just a fancy school dance whereas the country style "Debutante Ball" is almost a right of passage into womanhood. Attendees at the Deb Ball are generally parents and Grandparents, respected members of the community etc. Yes, there's generally a good piss up afterwards but it's not part of the ball and that's just how the country folk roll.

I never attended a deb ball. You basically needed a girl to request you "escort them". Being the kid with the bright red v8 panelvan perhaps I wasn't seen as a suitable escort by the girls mothers.

All we had were school dances, apparantly the best ones were those with girls attending from all girl's catholic schools.....
