And The Senior Superlative For "Most Likely To Strip Her Way Through College" Goes To ...

     A Colorado high school student is up in arms over the fact that her senior portrait has been pulled from the yearbook because of the fact that, well, for lack of better terms ... she done gone and picked one where she looks like a stripper.
     Sydney Spies, an 18-year-old student at Durango High School in Colorado, was apparently told by the yearbook staff that while students are allowed to pick their senior pictures ... hers was too provocative and that they did not want to choose any pictures that were unprofessional and would sully their award-winning publication's image.
     Additionally, school administrators backed the yearbook staff citing dress code violations as the reason for having the picture pulled.
     Uhhhh ... dress code violations? Three inches above the knee is a dress code violation. A tank top was a dress code violation at my high school. This girl is wearing a scarf as a shirt. I'm not even sure what to call that.

     And to make matters worse ... her mother goes out and protests with her, citing civil rights violations? That's some good parenting there. As an aspiring model and actress or whatever it was that some article said Sydney is ... it seems like her mom and her are just attention whores who are trying to get her discovered, which they did ... but in really bad taste. This picture should have been sent to Maxim or something, not been put in her high school yearbook.
     I hope in twenty years when her kids fish out her yearbook and start looking through it and they get to the ad pages - where this picture is ultimately being run - and they see the giant note stating, "Congratulations Sydney! MOM AND DAD LOVE YOU!," a few baby pictures of her, and that picture ... they look at her and go, "Oh, Mommy, what were you thinking?"

The whole damn world is just as obsessed with who's the best dressed and who's having sex, who's got the money, who gets the honeys, who's kinda cute, and who's just a mess. And you still don't have the right look and you don't have the right friends. Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends. High school never ends.
