Mums - 2014 El Paso High School Homecoming

Mums - 2014 El Paso High School Homecoming

The mum is to the corsage kind of as the Baz Luhrman Romeo + Juliet is to Shakespeare. Normally, mums are made with silk flowers (particularly chrysanthemums), trailing ribbons and feather boas that can reach the floor, and trinkets that represent the student's interests and activities. Some mums even have battery-powered lights or play recorded sound through hidden speakers. Typically worn by girls as enormous pins, they can weigh up to 20 lbs. Mums are markers of identity during adolescence, and a unique American folk art tradition. http://jezebel.com/5965232/inside-the-weird-texas-tradition-of-enormous-homecoming-corsages/
