Helen Blackwell School Prom Chiang Mai

Helen Blackwell was quite nervous about going to school prom Chiang Mai. Now she’s in secondary school things are much more grown up. This was her first prom and at best of times she prefers modern fashion instead of older style pretty dresses.

The day before she spent hours at dress hire shop with her mother choosing finally a dress they could both agree on. Being 12 and only in first year of secondary school none of her class maters had a partner although girls in higher classes did often have partners. Before prom she had a session with a make up artist arranged by her mother.

Helens quite used to being made up since its normal part of her modeling shows. The prom was held at Shangri la Hotel in Chiang Mai which is one of best 5 star hotels in the city. Before the prom Helen and her mother had a traditional English high tea. Helen Blackwell agreed with her mother that it was better than ones she had had when visiting England. Make up and preparation took a long time. I am always amazed how much older Helen and her class mates look and they could all easily be taken to be 15 year old or more instead of 12 year olds.

Although Helen Blackwell goes to an English school proms are really an American idea which in modern times has been copied by schools all over the world. Even now at least in England it does not usually extend down to 12 year olds and is usually only held for school leavers to celebrate the completion of their schooling. It was quite a show and everyone seemed to have a good time.

Once show started Helens nervousness soon went and very quickly she was enjoying time with her girl class mates. She danced a lot but only with other Chiang Mai girls which was also case for her friends. She’s not yet got to age were she’s interested that much in boys except to play games.
