One teen in the Bahamas named Ashvonn Russell has taken the walking-into-prom game to an entirely new level.
Ashvonn, who felt a limo wasn’t enough, showed up to her prom in Abaco Islands in the northern Bahamas in an ambulance.
And that was just the beginning. Giving
her arrival a ‘Sleeping Beauty’ theme, Ashvonn was wheeled out on a
stretcher in a satin and lace dress with her hair and make-up snatched.
Her eyes were closed and she laid there
as the ambulance lights flashed and her date, (Prince Charming) Johnny
Auguste, walked over to give her a kiss her on the cheek. Once he did, Ashvonn woke up and strutted her way into prom. Not surprisingly, news of
Ashvonn’s ambulance prom entrance hit social media, with Twitter user
@CaptainPajamas getting over 7,000 retweets after he posted a few shots. The pics got a range of reactions from “Lmfao” to “Brilliant,” “let’s do this,” and simply…”nah.”
Some pointed out that the ambulance was being tied up for a dramatic
prom entrance when it could have been used to, you know, get people to
the hospital.
Others thought the move was in poor taste. Not minding all the backlash, Russell told BuzzFeed News “All of my paintings and drawings… are mostly inspired by fairy tales,” “Sleeping Beauty with a modern twist captured my interest for my prom entrance.”
“I can never apologize for being artistic and creative because that’s
what makes me who I am. To those that have creative minds like myself,
do not let the negativity stop you … always dare to be different.” she
said.
