PHOTO! Here is a picture of the Coffee Filter Prom Dress! Aimee Kick made a prom dress out of coffee filters. Kick is a senior at Francis Howell North High School and has created a stunning, and apparently very comfortable, prom dress with filters.

Good for you!

Aimee reportedly had already been spending lots of times at coffee shops when she wasn’t studying, earning her the nickname the “girl with a coffee cup”. That became her inspiration in creating a dress which she had already determined wouldn’t use fabric as its base. She wanted a material that would be durable, lasting, and that would allow her to enjoy her evening in comfort.

It took her one month to create the dress, as much as six hours per day. She tells her local school district:

“Each and every filter is sewn onto a fabric base that I made. Most filters have multiple seams over them, save for the bodice, which was all hand sewn. I am very inspired to use different materials, so it was more of a stimulating challenge than a difficulty.”

And she got an incredible creation! … just make sure no one at prom spills coffee on it.

PHOTO! Here a picture and video of Sara Jane Moore who tried to assassinate President Gerald R. Ford. Sara Jane Moore tells TODAY that she was “misled” in 1975 trying to take the life of Gerald Ford.

Moore spent 32 years in prison for being “misled”.

Moore tells Matt Lauer:

“It was a time people don’t remember. We had a war in this country, the Vietnam War. This is going to sound a little strange, but I really thought that it would trigger a new revolution. We were saying the country needed to change, the only way it was going to change was a violent revolution. I genuinely thought that this might trigger that new revolution in this country.”

“I think that I was misled, that I was mistaken. I think I made a serious error. I had to learn later that everyone else didn’t feel that way.”

She “had to learn” that everyone else didn’t feel the same way as her? Glad she finally did! Now 80, Moore looks to write a book about her life. Will you buy it?

Watch below video of Moore from TODAY.
