this reminds me of that *nsync music video for 'its gonna be me' where the boys are dollies at the store & then for live performances, they punched their way out of doll boxes.
Love it. Wish they were super cool activist teens making a fun-but-decent statement about the packaging of proms, but according to the Daily Mail... they just wanted to be proper original, yeah?
@greengrey (raidersofthelostSTAR): Judging by the girls' glassy-eyed expressions and hands pressed up against the plastic, I'm thinking Jonas and Blacksmith neglected the ventilation.
@stacyinbean: It could be a social statement about the ridiculousness of prom costs and how all of that money is spent seeking an unattainable plastic concept of beauty that forces women into their tiny boxes where they are expected to sit there and look pretty but not make a sound. Like maybe it's a statement against the patriarchy in a material society?
But it's probably more one of those "Look at me! I'm an attention whore!" sort of things.
@DinaRonson : Elizabeth Cady Stanton: see, in my high school, people would have thought this was awesome, provided the girls were already well-liked. And since these girls are on prom court, I'm guessing they ARE well-liked, which to me means this was a pretty funny stunt and I'm sure most of their classmates thought so too.
So many questions. To begin with: why is the girl on the right look 11? What is with the apron? When is Mattel suing? What was the point of this, anyway?

Bulkier and unable to fit into the tiny little clothes, but ultimately WAY MORE HIP.
