No, she didn't. I just have a good taste.
And don't be fooled by the colours, the dress is greener than it looks like in picture.

a) With
him? Come on...
b) Too funny, we would be first ones to drop out although we did fine in the end, however hopeless we were in the dance practises at times...
c) Well, you should have seen me when I borrowed my mum's long black coat and had a scarf around my head... (actually I might have a pic somewhere)
d) You know, I could. I love the dress. And although it does not show in the picture, I had real ivy in my hair and it was just awesome.
e) The correct answer. In Finland, we upper secondary second graders have this ball (except that it's more like a performance than a ball, since we just learn the dances and perform to the other students and later to parents) to celebrate the fact that we are to be the eldest of the school. Due to the abnormal girl-boy ratio in our school, at least half of the girls dance with guys from other schools or with first or third graders or with other girls... I was lucky to have this certain first-grader friend...
