Put old prom dresses to good use!

Prom season has officially started (in a manner of speaking) which means that young women everywhere will soon be looking for all manners of the Perfect Prom Dress. (Hint: We have all the answers right here.) But don't let last year's dress gather dust in the closet. The Cinderella Project of Baton Rouge is a not-for-profit organization that collects prom dresses to distribute to less financially fortunate girls this spring -- so that they can go to prom. Don't let your hand-me-downs go to waste! If you happen to be in the Baton Rouge, LA area, drop your dresses of at any branch of the YMCA through January 24. Or, check out their website right here. They need all varieties of contemporary dress styles (in good condition, of course), dry cleaned and on hangers. Chances are you were overdue for a good closet-cleanout anyway.
