Profedius: 17 is good to go here so I don't need a seat over there and yes I would bang the hell out of her.

The nuns say no, but her ID says YES!

My high school you could only attend if you were a junior or senior, but I've known other folks who went to different schools that only your date had to be a Junior or Senior.

I have to give her props: Extremely creative and nicely done!

Jake Havechek		2012-04-25 10:55:23 AM

And still more original and interesting than Vivienne Westwood ever did.

I look forward to the eventual 'making a statement' condom wrapper and used pregnancy test prom dress.

FlashHarry: James!: That's the part of your brain that wants to put sex on her trying to argue with the part of your brain that doesn't want to go to jail.

i believe the correct locution is "have sex to her."

you say tomato, I say statutory rape.

16 is the age of consent in Minnesota according to a quick GIS.

Chris Hansen can get back to cheating on his wife. Thanks.

chooktah		2012-04-25 11:01:10 AM

so how many years was she held back in elementary school? junior high?

The water was cold		2012-04-25 11:01:43 AM

I wonder if her date had some some Ranch "dressing" to go with her Cool Ranch "Dorito".

robodog		2012-04-25 11:01:44 AM

Mishno: robodog: I found the story kind of sad, she won't be pursuing her passion (which she obviously has some talent for) because schooling would be too expensive.

With any luck, the story being on NPR might get her some scholarship money. She deserves it more than some basketball player.

Let's hope, the story had me thinking last night that I'd love to be stupid rich so that I could give out scholarships to people like her who are having their potential snuffed out for a lack of a bit of money.

I know it's the cynic in me, but I'm getting tired of people doing trivial things and expecting everyone to act like they've accomplished something significant.

Yes, you're red hair or cardboard dress makes you *such* an individual. You are one wicked free spirit.

Another Government Employee		2012-04-25 11:04:50 AM

I would most certainly want her as a dinner guest. She probably would make excellent conversation. Would I actually hit it? Maybe. She isn't bad looking.

Get used to it. It's only going to get worse. Every freaking morning "news" show now has daily features on "viral videos" and people being AWs. "ZOMG TEH KAT IS SINGING!!! LOL!!! Now here's Sam Champion with the weather."

I wish news shows would adopt major league sports broadcasters' rules. By not showing the idiots running onto the field they don't encourage more people to do it.

DubyaHater		2012-04-25 11:17:05 AM

farking Virginia. Age of consent is still 18. Get with the times! Girls are hitting puberty at 11 now. Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed.

Trucker		2012-04-25 11:18:16 AM

Her dresses look a lot better than what a lot of "professional designers" are putting out today.

BurnShrike		2012-04-25 11:18:23 AM

She looks a little knock-kneed in the cardboard dress photo.

Yes, you're red hair or cardboard dress makes you *such* an individual. You are one wicked free spirit.

Honestly it says more about you than it does about her. She did something interesting for herself that the media picked up on. Youre whining about "HAVING" to hear about it. She doesnt care about you. The media doesnt care about you, and judging by your reaction.. youre jealous.

Theres alot of that these days. Its a mismanagement of intent, see YOU assume that because you saw something it was directed at you. People see facebook status updates and assume that it was directed at them because they're reading it. etc and so forth. Its a little self centered honestly. Do people do things for recognition and attention? HELL YEAH. Does that mean theyre shoving it down your throat or has ANYTHING to do with you. nop. If you dont like it and it doesnt affect you. Move on.

In the sea of statutory rape comments, the one reference I came here for. Thank you for not disappointing.

Using old CARPET samples would cause a whole new slew of problems in this thread though ...

I heard her interview on NPR yesterday. She sounded a hell of a lot more articulate than women in my dating pool.
She should have a seat over here.

Maybe it's time you got out of the wading pool at the park then.

Perducci		2012-04-25 11:34:17 AM

WTFDYW: Is it just me or does she look quite old for her age?

She's probably an adult trying to break out her fashion career and realized that a press release saying "20-something woman designs dress out of garbage" doesn't get picked up by many news outlets.

that's because your dating pool is 2 feet deep and warm from all the pee-pee accidents the girls have in it.

It smells like cheetos and feet in here. Oh, it's your dress?

After a lot of consideration, and much soul-searching and meditation, I have come to the conclusion that I'd hit it like the fist of an angry god.

Perhaps you're right. It just seems to me that as a society, we're continually lowering the bar in terms of what we consider significant and laudable. People want to be known as amazing, unique, and talented individuals, but they're not willing to put in the work or struggle to actually achieve anything truly noteworthy; instead they're redefining "amazing" to mean whatever the mundane thing is that they've just done.

and what a strange fetish to have, licking doritos dust off a young good looking chick

BurnShrike: She looks fairly cute, but I prefer my women not be covered in garbage.

The second picture (I assume the soda can tabs?) actually looks pretty good though. She must've worked hard on that. And I'm sure her prom date worked hard on her later that night.

I think the others are good, too, I doubt it's actually "garbage" as in the 'pulled it out of the trash and putiton' garbage, but I have to agree that the soda can tabs is amazing. I can't see the video in the image, but here's a blog that has all 3, and a closeup of the soda tabs in case it isn't shown in the video.
