Jamie Reidy comments on a high school prom and a porn convention happening at the same venue.
This gives the phrase “off like a prom dress” a whole new significance.
Boys have enough trouble paying attention to their dates on Prom Night: having the next “Jenna Jameson” next door is not going to help.
CNN reported that Saturday night the Miami Beach Convention Center hosted both the Miami Beach Senior High School prom and Exxxotica Expo.
If only it was a Catholic high school!
How did this even happen? Miami Beach High doesn’t hold its prom at hotels to discourage drinking. That makes sense. Unfortunately, such a policy makes it extremely difficult to find suitable venues; hence, the convention center.
I love the story about the Mom who found out on the way to drop her daughter at the event. Obviously, the savvy teen knew her mother might pull the plug if she’d known any earlier.
Funny to mentally juxtapose the images of a boy awkwardly attempting to put a corsage on his date, while next door to the prom a porn pro is, uh, less uncomfortable with a prop.
As a parent, what would your reaction have been to this prom/porn conversion?

Sounds like a great setup! If you don’t like the band at the prom, head next door.
And since you were planning to get some ‘alone time’ after the dance anyway, what better venue than the porn expo to start things off with a bang?
Pretty sure here in Aus the adult entertainment conventions are strictly 18+ and have security ensuring only adults get in, so a prom could happen in the same center if it has appropriate segregation and multiple rooms/areas for events. So I probably wouldn’t care as a parent.
Why should people care? Unless they actually goto the other event it shouldn’t even be a problem. Casinos have areas where children can go if I am not mistaken whilst some areas are strictly adults only, does that put people into hysterics?
The OP said,
Boys have enough trouble paying attention to their dates on Prom Night: having the next “Jenna Jameson” next door is not going to help.
Um, and why do boys already have enough trouble paying attention to their prom dates? Shoot, DO they even have trouble paying attention to their prom dates? Is that even a real stereotype?
Funny post, but that line makes me give ya the side-eye.
Yeah…my date was glued to my side the entire time….I couldn’t have shaken him if I had wanted to.
The fun part is going to be in the future. Husband and wife, married for 25 years and were high school sweethearts pull out an old DVD recording of their prom to show to their kids…just to realize that its actually footage from the Porn Convention that took place next door all those years ago. Husband then laughs and finally remembers why the DVD was labeled “Prom Queens 2012”. It wasn’t the year of the prom, it was the two thousand and twelfth entry in the “Prom Queens” series. The wife rushes to get that “porno dvd” that they kept… Read more »
Okay, I’ll put my stereotypes on the table for all to see. I keep thinking, if you live in Miami, is it really all that shocking to see scantily clad women walking around in sexually suggestive clothing? Can you really be all that prudish or horribly shocked by this when you grow up in Miami? Just like in Las Vegas, If there’s a porn convention in town, how would you know the difference?
C’mon, it ain’t Sioux Falls, people.
No, I’m not interested in going to Miami to test my stereotypes. Don’t confuse me with the facts.
And here was I thinking my prom was cool!
