    A Dallas group is ensuring that every local high schooler's prom dream comes true this year. An organization called Ultimate Debutante Experience will host its 2023 Prom Dress and Suit Giveaway on April 1 at Compassionate Community Church in southeast Dallas.

    But first they need some help - and some things to give away.

    "The Ultimate Experience & Exposure Organization would like to bless 300 students this 2023 prom season," the organizers say. "We are asking for your help on this service project."

    They offer four ways the public can be of assistance:

    1. Donate dresses, suits, accessories, and shoes. "Give away all of your old dresses, shoes, purses and jewelry, suits, ties, dress shoes, dress shirts, slacks, cuff links, and any other formal wear you believe a young man or woman should have for his or her prom night/life after high school," they say. (Note: Please make sure it's clean.)

    Drop-offs are being scheduled on Saturdays at the church. To schedule a drop-off, email theultimatedebutante@gmail.com; donation deadline is March 25.

    2. Donate your talent. "We need hair stylists/barbers, make-up artists, and nail technicians to sponsor a service for our youth for their special day," they say.

    3. Donate your time. "On April 1, 2023 from 9 am-3 pm, we will need volunteers to help us make sure every student finds the perfect attire," they say.

    4. Donate resources. "Help us fund one of our participants on their journey to pursue higher education by donating to our scholarship fund," they say.

    Those interested in volunteering or donating their services or money can reach out to directors Dalton and Lyric Sherman at theultimatedebutante@gmail.com.

    Once all the attire is compiled and organized, the big event - the Prom Dress & Suit Giveaway - will take place from 9 am-3 pm Saturday, April 1 at Compassionate Community Church, 7103 Rosemont Rd., Dallas, 75217.

    The event is free and open to high school junior and seniors, who will will be able to select any attire without any stipulations attached. However, registration is required at this link. Student ID will be required at the door.

    The event will include raffles, giveaways, vendors, music, and more.

    This is the third big prom dress drive taking place in the Dallas area in 2023, but the first one to specifically include suits for the gentlemen.

    St. Andrew United Methodist Church's Prom Closet is also currently accepting donations in Plano; more information is here. And the Comerica Bank Prom Dress Drive will take place throughout the month of February to benefit Dallas CASA and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas; more information is here.

    HI BARBIE

    Sporty pink Barbie merch truck will cruise into Dallas and Plano

    The Barbie Truck is rolling into DFW in late March.

    Barbara Millicent Roberts is asking Dallas to think pink later this month. The popular Barbie Truck Tour will be rolling into two Dallas-area shopping centers the last two weekends of March:

    • March 21 —The Shops at Willow Bend, Plano
    • March 28 — The Shops at Park Lane, Dallas

    Fans at both events will have the chance to buy an assortment of exclusive merch, according to a release.

    The roadshow has a sporty theme inspired by the doll’s athletic accomplishments, which include an Olympic gold medal in skiing and record-setting NASCAR runs.

    Barbie Truck Tour visitors can score the following limited-edition drops:

    • Apparel: T-shirts, track jackets, half-zip sweaters
    • Accessories: Necklaces, wristlets, baseball hats, bag charms, crossbody duffles
    • Drinkware: 24-ounce thermal bottles, 10.5-ounce glass mugs
    • Bags: Tote bags, duffle keychains, tote keychains

    Sadly, no actual dolls will be available for purchase, nor will fans be able to add to Barbie’s legendary wardrobe. Still, the duffle keychain is small enough for her to carry an appropriately sized jai alai set.

    For its first DFW appearance, the Barbie truck will be parked at The Shops at Willow Bend (at the lawn near The District), 6121 W. Park Blvd., Plano from 10 am-7 pm March 21.

    On its second North Texas stop, the truck will roll up to The Shops at Park Lane (near the lawn between Chipotle & Starbucks), 8080 Park Ln., from 10 am-7 pm March 28. Maybe Barbie will snag some new shelving for the dream house at the brand new IKEA store opening at the center.

    Organizers say shoppers should arrive early to ensure the best selection. Also note that merchandise will be available for credit card purchase only.

    Follow the Barbie Truck's trek into town and across the country on the official Instagram page.
