Toilet Paper Wedding Dress — What’s Next, Scotch Tape?

Obviously, everything depends on the context. Here I’m talking about a national contest for a wedding dress, which was just wiped out by a toilet paper creation.

The six wedding dress designs on show at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in New York’s Times Square stunned people into silence–it was enough to make them believe they were in someone else’s glamorous bathroom! Six dresses were displayed at the Times Square “odditorium” and three designers won a prize of a thousand dollars each.

However, the cake (not the wedding cake, neither was it made out of toilet paper) went to Katrina Chalifoux of Rockford, Illinois. Apparently, she’d spent two weeks creating a sheath dress with a raised flower pattern from molded toilet paper. I really don’t know what that means, just she won it.

So what were the tools of the trade?

“Contestants used only toilet paper, glue, and/or tape to create gowns and headpieces with ruffles, faux embroidery, pleats and even lace effects,” organizers attempted to clarify.

Well, come to think of it, isn’t toilet paper a good medium for experimenting? I mean, it’s kinda cheap, so you can afford to get carried away with your imagination, it’s safe, the little ones can play around with it, and you can even stamp on it and twist it and make a shape like an elephant or a donkey.
