Not to the movies, but here's the story. See, if all of the students in my AP Stat class passed the exam, our teacher made a deal to dress up as a woman. Since all but one did, he still agreed to do it--but we had to buy it.

So a bunch of us went to Goodwill, and since we weren't too sure of the dress size, we went with a model who was about the same size and appearance as him--that would be me.
