I'm pretty sure everyone has been to or has heard about a quinceanera. And no, not a quesadilla (which is an entree meal). If you've ever watched Austin & Ally, you know that there was an episode that one person of their friend group, Trish, had her own quince. If I'm not mistaken, her dress was a zebra print ball gown dress with pink detailing.
