This is True

Picture Perfect

Maxwell Percy, 16, was banned from the prom in Evansville, Wisc., after being caught cussing at school but, he said, “I knew I had to go there because it was my junior prom and everything.” He managed to get in by disguising himself as a girl, complete with a black dress, sandals, nail polish, glasses and a wig. “My sister and her girlfriends all, like, helped.” His success was short-lived, however. “I got spotted the second I walked in.” (Janesville Gazette) ...Max, you didn’t really think the girls wanted you to be convincing enough to equal them, did you?
