Snotty, vacuous, useless hags on momentary parade. 

[janellalarianne11]

@cosg9531 who are you to say that any of these girls are "snotty, vacuous or are useless hags"? maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge.

[cosg9531]

@janellalarianne11 Maybe debutante balls are one of the silliest, most useless ideas ever thought of.

[janellalarianne11]

@cosg9531 Anyone that has been part of a cotillion or debutante ball will tell you that it was memorable. There's nothing "silly or useless" about wanting to partake in a tradition. There's no need to show the world how close minded you are about other people's cultures. You're embarrassing yourself.

[BARBIExoxoxoxo]

she's beautiful.

[sweetvoice92]

this is nice.. im having mine in 16 days.. and not everythings organised.. where did your candles get their dresses?

[filipinaballer]

im having my debut in june any pointers?

[janellalarianne11]

*plan ahead.

*organize. dont procrastinate. I planned out the order of whats happening that night and gave it to the DJ (ie. 18 candles, dinner,cotillion dance, 18 roses then the dance party )

*Dont be afraid to tell your DJ what you want him/her to play. its your day they should follow what you want.

* take lots of candid(those are the best) /posed pictures and VIDEO so people who couldnt come can watch

oh try not to stress out. everything will fall into place :) youll absolutely love it

[filipinaballer]

thank you so much 8D

[Veronikka2010]

this is so pretty it reminds me of when i had my quinceanera i love it

[xoirene97xo]

what is debutant

[janellalarianne11]

Its when a girl turns 18 is "presented into society" i guess...

[janellalarianne11]

well its a good thing you dont have to then

[Drew927]

I would shoot my self in the face if I had to dress and dance like that in front of family and freinds

[janellalarianne11]

its just a waltz

[whosDANIELg]

this is really nice, what type of dance are they doing in the royal court?

[hackingtime88]

i am dissapointed i thought debutante ball/guitilians would be more like the ones like Gossip Girl and The O.C

[yosolo57]

? this seems more like a quinceanera? nice tho

[janellalarianne11]

its similar to one yeah but it isnt really

[UTAOUB]

The people here look very happy. But it does not seem to me an "haute" debutante ball -- you know, the exclusive type? The couples walk out far too quickly...at least one girl looks FAR too young to be a debutante. ALL the young ladies would be wearing LONG dresses, (probably WITH SLEEVES, at a genuine deb ball. And SO many girls wearing the SAME dress? Nice try--nice people--but a GENUINE debutante ball would be more restrained. (And the girls' FATHERS

should be there. WHERE are they?)

[janellalarianne11]

well techinically this isnt really the legit "debutante ball" that you speak of. its my cotillion.... its a variation of a debutante ball the filipino kind.... regarding the father question... theres another part for them to be in

[biiimsxo]

i love your cotillioners dresses.. where did she get them from?

hahha.. i'm having mines next year:D
