WH Correspondent’s Dinner - Trump evacuated, shooter in lobby

I remember escorting a couple of girlfriends to Debutante Balls in 1980, ‘81, and ‘82 in Durham and Raleigh. The best name of the Balls was the Terpsichorean Society Ball.

Anyone want to guess how many people of color were at the balls?

This was a very Jim Crow/Lost Cause event.

One of the best aspects of these balls were the debutantes who couldn’t walk in heels…..and all insisted on wearing HEELS. Most were hefty, hefty, hefty, hefty in early ‘80’s terms, not 2020’s pre-Ozempic terms. Gowns were virginal white.

Odd circumstances took me to several Debutante Balls in the summer of 1978 -- I was very much out of my element and I'm pretty sure that it showed. My "date's" parents nixed me for the big Raleigh Terpsichorean Do-Dah and had one of her neighborhood boys take her. It was the end of us as a couple but was just as well.
