Winners of the Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest
In our years monitoring Buzz, we've seen many searches for "cheap wedding dresses." But this morning is the first time that "toilet paper wedding dress" ever wafted past.
Winners of the Cheap and Chic Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest were announced yesterday in New York City. The champion took home a $1,000 prize for her strappy sleeveless gown. It has a sweetheart neckline, large ruffles around the bottom, and is, we hope, 2-ply and unscented. The resulting publicity produced a slew of buzzing articles and a stack of queries for "toilet paper wedding dress."
Katrina Chalifoux, who stitched (or pasted?) the winning creation, commented on the difficulties in designing with paper better known for its role in personal hygiene. "It's a challenge to make toilet paper look like fabric. It's not exactly luxurious," she said. But when it comes to this particular t.p., you wouldn't flush it, either.
