A Story Idea Each Day for a Month: Day 30
This is the third year in a row I’ve run this series in April. And here we are, thirty days later with one last story idea: Minnesota school quashes senior’s porn-star prom date:
A Minnesota school district has quashed a high school’s senior plan to bring a porn star to his senior prom.
Mike Stone, 18, had tweeted hundreds of porn actresses with an invitation to the Tartan High School prom May 12 until adult film star Megan Piper accepted his proposal.
Piper tells KSTP-TV’s Mark Saxenmeyer that she missed her own prom and couldn’t turn down Stone’s invitation.
“It was a sweet gesture. It was so cute. I couldn’t say no,” she tells the Twin Cities TV station.
The adult film star adds that she had no intention of turning the evening into a sordid spectacle: “I don’t plan to show up butt naked or anything. I’m going to wear a pretty prom dress.”

He offers her a thousand dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend for a month. It succeeds, but he soon learns that the price of popularity may be higher than he expected.
Is that an 80’s high concept or what? Actually as I recall, the movie was based on a spec script that was originally titled “Boy Rents Girl.”
Which brings me to Mr. Stone from Oakdale, Minnesota who managed to secure a porn star for his date to his high school prom.
Hijinks and mayhem ensue?
Porky’s for the post-modern generation?
What would you do with this story idea?
By the way, perhaps the best scene from Can’t Buy Me Love is where Ronald, who is deathly afraid of dancing, finally busts loose with some moves… he learned from a PBS featuring an African anteater ritual. At first it looks like Ron will make a fool of himself, but then…
