Pinky Promise
A few weeks ago, I covered the first inaugural Pinky Promise Ball held in Memphis. About 40 girls, were presented to their family and friends in a debutante-style ceremony that revolved around sexual purity before marriage. Dressed in formal regatta, these high school girls took a purity pledge, danced a waltz their fathers and received sapphire purity rings. Shelby County has the highest teen pregnancy rates in the state, according to the most recent data.
