YOUR 15 MINUTES: Wild Ride

This story just wouldn't have been as fun if I wrote about it the day it happened:

You know what really sucks, when you’re on your own around the age 19 and you decide to become a stripper for extra cash and then you make friends with a convicted felon who orchestrates a bank robbery with his bank teller friend and then you pull off the heist with one of your best stripper friends. Only you’re young, white, blonde bank robbers in big sunglasses so the media decides to pay attention to you. All of a sudden you’re all over CNN.com and every blog in the world but instead of laying low you decide to go on a shopping spree at a Gucci store in Atlanta and get your hair did. In the meantime, the police figure out who you are, come after you and you lead them on a short car chase outside of Six Flags amusement park. When they apprehend you they find marijuana and ecstasy pills in the car and you end up in jail with a variety of fun charges ranging from bank robbery to drug trafficking. So then your parents go on the national news saying they can’t comprehend how their daughter could have done such a thing. And then your other stripper friends go on the national news saying they’re shocked. And now your parents are shocked by the shocked stripper friends. And the bloggers are shocked to find out that you’re not as cute with the sunglasses off yet people still pay you to take your clothes off. And all you got out of it was a cold seat in jail, a Gucci bag for a day and a bad haircut... Oy. Glad these aren’t MY 15 MINUTES…sucks to be Ashley Miller and Heather Johnston.
