Purity Balls

Ack!

That's deeply disturbing. Revolting, actually.

Further proof that, as the Seattle Times says, 30 and 40 year old guys shouldn't be dancing with teenagers.

I could've gone the rest of my life without knowing of the existence of "Purity Balls", and been perfectly happy.

Thanks.

A lot.

I smell a drag queen name.

Sounds like a great way to meet your daughter's hot young friends. ;)

White people are crazy.

Dad: "If I can't have her, no one will!"

nothing says holy like sex with your daughter

"How can you measure the value of your eleven year old looking up into your eyes (as you clumsily learn the fox-trot together) with innocent, uncontainable joy, saying, 'Daddy, I'm so excited!'"

Balls indeed.

Man, that was not just sick, it was creepy.

Some balls are held for purity, and some for fancy dress...

So, are these like, salty white chocolate balls?

The really beautiful thing is that, at least when I pulled it up, the webpage contained a quote from Anais Nin.

Somebody didn't do quite enough research. (Or else they have an exceedingly dry sense of humor. House of Incest, anyone?)

"The moment I put my hand in my father's, I felt like a princess. In those six precious hours, I believe I grew in relationship with my father more than I ever have. I knew it was my night, and I treasured every minute of it,' said eleven-year-old Anna Tullis of our Father Daughter Purity Ball."
No fucking 11 year old ever said anything like this.

It was probably more along the lines of: "Daddy said I was a princess, it was fun, but something hard kept poking me when we danced together."
