kinda weird, kinda cute. :D

edit: obviously, about the kentucky ash tray LOL and all i can ever think about the paper dresses is this: people SMOKED a lot in those days. a lit ciggie and a paper dress?

...of course this also could be where the idea came about that people's clothing could be RIPPED off easily. it's not that easy. *ahem* allegedly. hey, how about that local sports team? *coughs* ;)

Yes, my older sister had a paper dress. And, yes, it had a burn hole in it from her cigs. smh
