Thirty years ago I was one of those debutantes, but my experience was vastly different. I "came out" on a dare from a college friend who was on the committee. My mother and uncle were the only family who attended, and they certainly didn't buy a table. My dress was an off-the-clearance-rack wedding dress; I had to bustle the train. The one indulgence I had was staying at the Waldorf-Astoria for two nights. And after the ball, many of the debs retired to Studio 54, still in their gowns!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Welmoed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 10:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Debutantes Party While Rome Burns]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/01/08/debutantes-party-while-rome-burns/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/01/08/debutantes-party-while-rome-burns/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think it's a great tradition and honors a great cause.  It's also rather funny.  I saw Bill Cunningham's pictures from the ball in the NYTimes, and chuckled at the curtseies and bows and all that stuff.  And some of the dresses are so ridiculous, but good for them.  Have a ball.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[just me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 12:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Debutantes Party While Rome Burns]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/01/08/debutantes-party-while-rome-burns/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/01/08/debutantes-party-while-rome-burns/</guid><description><![CDATA[Real society people wouldn't be caught dead at this.
