I'm feeling much better. I know that I posted a quiz yesterday, but here's another one....
Is this picture:
a) A $100 hooker being arrested on the Sunset Strip?
b) A $50 hooker being arrested on the Sunset Strip?
c) A $5 hooker being arrested on the Sunset Strip?
d) A stripper fresh-off-the-pole being arrested for soliciting a cop?
e) A stupid attention-seeking twit being escorted out of her prom because they refused to admit her because of her dress and she threw a fit in the hotel because they wouldn't give her a refund because she had previously signed an acknowledgement of the dress code for the prom and chose to blatantly violate it?
f) "e", but she sure does look like a, b, c & d?
The full story, with a better look at the "dress" can be found here
So why is this a big deal? Where do I start?
First I don't care what your background (economic, social, racial, etc)...there is no place on earth where this should be considered an acceptable dress for a 17-year old. Sure, it is her prom and every girl wants to look "special".
But this? This is just a custom-made hooker dress. What ever happened to modesty? I'm not saying that she needs to wear a prairie dress like her FLDS neighbors, but how about a dress that uses more than a yard of fabric on top? A half-yard?
What kind of parents does Marche Taylor have that she was even allowed out of the house in this hooker-meets-bandoleer thing? Had I ever tried to even go to the beach in an outfit like this, my mother's head explosion would have been measurable on the Richter Scale.
And even more disturbing is the fact that she was arrested and the reason why she was arrented. Was she arrested for wearing the dress? Despite all the chatter and headlines, she was not.
In the video, she said she was arguing and demanding her money back. So this was about a student who was handcuffed and walked out because she furiously, angrily, pretended she didn’t understand what was explained to her, demanded the rules be changed immediately to suit her, held up everyone else getting into the prom, made a loud scene and disrupted the festivities, smack-talked school officials, and refused to leave. For causing a scene, she was arrested.
And she believes that she is totally in the right...
I predict that this will not be her first Perp-walk....and the next one will likely be in a similar outfit.

DId you catch that she ultimately was not admitted because she wasn't wearing any underwear? Oh, so much wrong with this...!

I've been staring at the little comment box for awhile- and I think I have to admit it all leaves me kind of speechless. Definitely wondering about the parents who paid for this "custom" dress... and oh so many other things...

Oh.

That isn't a dress, that's a half a piece of material hung around her bottom and slung over her top. I sew, I know about these matters. 😉

PS... There is more material in a hand towel.

OH MY GOD.

There is so much wrong with this on so many levels. I still wonder what her parents think about all this. An interview segment with them was conspicously missing in the TV report. There is no way my daughter would go anywhere in something like this.
Say What?
Darn, they took down the video!
I think the rest of the material went for her date's matching vest. It has more fabric than both pieces of her ensemble.
I give up on some of these parents -
