You can wear the most absurd, outlandish outfit your little hear desires and prance down our streets with hardly any attention. We’re used to crazy, ugly ensembles. But walk down the street with a glass vase of flowers and you’ll get more stares than a super model. We’re not used to seeing a tangible manifestation of kindness on our crowded slabs of concrete. We can’t help but wonder: Was there an engagement? Are you pregnant? Is it your birthday? Did something really bad happen when your boyfriend went to that bachelor’s party last weekend?

So, dear Miss Teen Bride, Courtney Stodden , sorry we don’t really have the time to figure out what the heck your deal is.
