"I Gotta Feeling"
 
 
So you've just completed eight years of primary education and the future is somewhat rosy ahead with high school coming up after that legendary summer. Feel old already? We do now.
 
We gave some rather interesting advice, and most of it is technically correct. The article, written in June, 2002, was optimistic in the most part, and rather wise for its time - in a rather bullish market compared to today, she suggested a bit of financial restraint.
 
The following was what she suggested for a belt tightened good time...
 
 
Hip, hip, hooray! School year is almost over!

Feeling all tired, hyped up and excited? Cause, you're ready to rock and roll and celebrate the last month of the school year! But, oh no! What am I going to wear to the prom? It's okay, no need to panic. I've got the right tips just for you below:
 
Prom Dress - If I were you, I wouldn't spend my time at the mall looking for a dress and waste a couple of hundred bucks on it. Nah-ah. If you've got the brains, you know there's a possibility to this... Hello! You can ask your mom/friend about it. I'm sure you'll find something.
 
Hair - is what most girls worry about. Just try to seek out the cheapest hair product that will keep your hair in place as long as your boogying on the dance floor. I know this maybe sound cheap to you but hey; you don't look cheap once you try it...
 
Makeup - Like I said, you can borrow some of your mom's/friend's makeup. That is all!
 
Shoes - Don't even bother going near those high-heels, missy! Because how are you going to feel comfortable in them? I'll tell you, you'll have to sit out packed with a bunch of losers if you don't take my word for it. Gosh, get a pair of low-heels, slip-ons, etc, etc.
 
 
Unfortunately, some of the dispensed advice is actually unwise and almost dangerous. Leanne, our Fashion/Beauty expert, explains:
 
 
Phil: Why shouldn't you use someone else's makeup?
 
Leanne: Hygenic reasons. It's not sanitary because of bacteria. If you use someone else's makeup, especially eye makeup, you risk getting an infection; especially if it's from someone who doesn't take care of their stuff.
 
 
We therefore officialy apologise for providing bad advice, on behalf of our younger selves.
 
Which leads to a question that requires an unscientific, informal survey to answer:
 
 
So go and "boogy" on the dance floor but heed Leanne's advice and make sure you don't share your makeup!
