[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man if I was still in high school I would buy out the Hobby Lobby of that metallic fringe stuff, get a helium tank, and start a side hustle staging these for kids.  We did brisk business making Homecoming Mums for the uncrafty or procrastinators, and this looks just like that, only for non-Texans.[/quote]

A "homecoming Mum?"

Yeah, wtf is that? I know I can google, but I like the person I am without knowing what this is.[/quote]

Oh, it's so much worse that I imagined. My eyes  :shock:

I can't figure out what I'm looking at. Please explain this to me. [/quote]

They are created / worn for homecoming and pep rallies.  Generally they get bigger / more elaborate each year, i.e. the arrangement for a senior is much bigger than for a sophomore, some insanely so (google 'massive Texas Mum'). I swear some are so big they are as big as the girl wearing them.  Generally the moms are making them, though non-crafty folks can also hire someone to do it. I have been exposed to the tradition but still don't really understand *why*, so the following link probably better for that. And, like most things school in America, they have exploded in size and complexity since we were in High School way back when.
