No future East Carolina student newspaper editors on this yearbook staff

Yearbook staff for a high school in Durango, Colo., rejects a girl's cheesecake-y pic as her official senior photo, tho it says she could use it for her yearbook ad. She and mom doth protest. I fear Chris Hansen too much to post the pic.

It's not that racy. That said, my high school yearbook was all straight portraits. Head, neck and shoulders, nothing more. I've never seen a full-body yearbook portrait.

 

How many yearbooks would actually allow that as a main photo? As an ad, sure, but like big, my senior yearbook picture was just a nice looking portrait. My ad was more casual.

 

Sydney Spies? Is that her stripper name?

 

It seems kind of racy for a yearbook to me, which is normal sugary sweet. I graduated high school in 2002, and we allowed full body shots - senior portraits were somewhat big, as opposed to the tiny snapshots for the other grades. But if I recalled correctly, you weren't allowed to show bare midriff, and the dress code was similar to that for the homecoming dance, i.e. shirt and pants for men, dress or skirt or nice pants for girls.

 

JFC. Just JFC.

I'd hate to be around princess when something truly bad happens to her ... and I'm sure she's REAL concerned about other people. They aren't saying the photo can't be in the yearbook, just not as her "senior picture." I think they are being pretty liberal by allowing it as the photo in her senior ad. From what I've seen with my kids in a public school system, they are cracking down bigtime on any kind of revealing dress (sagging, spaghetti straps, bare midriffs, etc.).

I think it would be funny for the admins to decide that if she is going to make a big stink about this, then she can't have that photo in her senior ad, either. Or if they cave, for a male student to decide he has to use his "freedom of expression" by having his yearbook photo feature his erect penis sticking out.

 

This.

 

Nah, it's her porn-star name. Her first home was on Sydney, and her first pet was named Spies.

 

Using that logic, my porn name would be Tank Taylor. Nice ring.

 

Suggesting she buy an ad so she can express herself exactly how she wants? There's a whole bunch of future journalists on that yearbook staff!

 

Mine would be Chubbs Fiesta.

Always a party when Chubbs is around.

 

I screwed it up. It's actually first pet name, then first street, as I realized when I remembered my very unfortunate porn name: Candy Day
