Aimee Kick from Missouri, US, spent a month creating this dress, which is made completely from coffee filters, for her senior prom at Francis Howell North High School. The 18-year-old aspiring fashion designer spends a lot of time at coffee shops and has become known locally as the "the girl with a coffee cup". Although presumably now she'll be known as "the girl in the coffee dress".

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
aTYPICAL is Kind of a BIG Deal
Cincinnati, OH–June 17, 2009– On Saturday June 20, aTYPICALsOLE will kick off their summer series by releasing their Kind of a Big Deal T-shirt at Corporate Sneaker Boutique.
The shirt–designed with a picture of the legendary Notorious BIG–was conceptualized by Nudy, Dubs and MattFoo.
“Dubs threw it out there to make a shirt while we were listening to the Clipse and Kanye record, Nudy said. MattFoo started on the designs, but the slogan alone wasn’t doing it justice. One night while I was watching Notorious, it hit me like lightning. The next day we had a shirt.”
Corporate owner Matt Tomamichel is anticipating the release of the T-shirt at his shop on Saturday, which will be featured among some of the most prominent streetwear lines, such as 10 Deep, Stussy and NSW.
“aTYPICAL is a line I’d seen around for sometime, Matt said. Working with Nudy recently has made me a believer in the aTyp line. He showed us a lot of love in getting the shirt in here.”
Nudy and the rest of the aTYPICAL crew are proud of their new design and the recognition it is getting.
Nudy said this is one of the best feelings in the world. “Now I can’t wait to get in more shops around the world, Nudy said. Hopefully this release will help everyone take notice of what we got going on here in the ‘Nati!”
Because of the large response for the T-shirt, the shirts will also be featured in other shops after Saturday’s release.
Big Deal T-shirts can be purchased at Corporate Sneaker Boutique, which is located at 11578 Springfield Pike, Cincinnati, OH 45246. They can also be ordered online at www.atypicalshop.com.

“Another four years of dictatorship,” a voter muttered, and “this is a coup d’état.” Several others agreed. Some women wept openly. Some talked of “mutiny.” Others were more cynical.
“It was just a movie,” said Hussein Gharibi, a 54-year-old juice vendor, scoffing at those who got their hopes up. “They were all just players in a movie.”...
“They didn’t rig the vote,” claimed this man, who showed his ministry identification card but pleaded not to be named. “They didn’t even look at the vote. They just wrote the name and put the number in front of it.”
“By the evening people will pour into the streets,” predicted one young woman, from inside the hood of her black chador. “But Ahmadinejad will become president by force.”
10,000 Parisians participated Thursday evening in an annual summer ritual, the "Diner en Blanc" ("White Dinner"), where they take over a major landmark dressed completely in white.Sounds like an elaborate, extended flash mob, no? Or something a Parisan Improv Everywhere group would dream up.
Carefully orchestrated planning results in everyone arriving at a secret location (this year was the famous Place Concorde) at a specified time. They proceed to set up tables and chairs, light candles and pop champagne corks -- all within 10 minutes !! Onlookers and tourists are amazed by the spectacle.
Participants then enjoy a picnic dinner, light sparklers, and dance until 12:30 am. As quickly as it all started, everyone packs their belongings and trash. Nothing is left behind.
