Goes to show, if you want something, you should always go for it...
It's definitely true that when you make a spectacle of yourself, you are remembered. Of course, there has to be a sense of class and sophistication attached to it, otherwise you're just attracting the wrong kind of attention.
When it comes to making a statement, we know that there are some exceptions and there are those that can be tacky. We would definitely vote for fun, classy, and original any day - and this story definitely breathed all that and more.
