It's a Texas thang

When I lived out of state, I was shocked to learn that other states don't subscribe to the homecoming mum infatuation madness trend we Texans so proudly boast (while the rest of the world laughs and shakes their head in disbelief). These monstrous symbols of school spirit are as much a symbol of a guy's "love" for his girlfriend, as they are a chance to one-up your girl-friends. These colossal corsages should be pretentious and gaudy and garish and by all means, the tackier the better.

Sutton is quite proud of hers ya'll.
