So I think a bunch of posts have been kind of testy lately, and I wanted to post something that I think just affirms how neat and awesome some people are in ways you probably wouldn't have thought of.

I present to you Miss Maura Pozek of Reeds Spring, Missouri, who has a history of out of the ordinary prom dresses. In her Sophomore year, she hand crafted a dress out of used Dorito bags. Last year, she wove together 4000 pop tabs into a fancy off-the-shoulder number. So for her senior year, she had to outdo herself somehow, and the result was a dress made entirely of...get this, cardboard.



















I heard this story on NPR earlier this week and just had to grin from ear to ear. Maybe it's the dad in me, but I really hope that her parents are incredibly proud to have a child this talented and willing to pursue her talents.

Interesting ideas there - and it looks like she had fun with it!

Nice!

The pop tab dress has sci fi written all over it.

It kind of has this very vague Logan's Run feel.

As a nerd I say this with complete admiration.

Nice. She should market her dresses to the pop stars. bjork wore a paper dress to some awards show iirc, could be lucrative for the talented young woman.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
