Teen Auctions Himself Off As Prom Date
Teen Auctions Himself Off As Prom Date

Mon Mar 21,10:39 PM ET Strange News - AP

LA PORTE CITY, Iowa - Stu Hemesath has earned $29.95 — as a prom date. The high school senior from La Porte City auctioned himself off as a date on the Internet auction site eBay on Thursday. He will accompany Rachel Kay, 17, to her Cedar Falls prom.

The two say they have never met.

Hemesath said the idea just came to him as he was "thinking about proms and stuff."

"I came to school with a thought in my head, and I told my friends," he said. "They thought it was the coolest thing in the world, so I decided to go for it."

I can't find a link to the auction. He "claims" he is though

Hemesath wasn't shy about his description, saying he's 5 feet 10 inches tall, 150 pounds, popular and a wrestler. He added: "I have a lot of girls telling me I'm pretty hot."

$30.00? I get more for that at our auctions and I'm a tubby bastard. I guess direct marketing has its perks.

also stated in the listing that the winning gal will have to foot the bill for everything. "But if you're nice-looking, I'll probably get you a nice flower," he added.
