The Internet Is Obsessed with This Girl's Pride Dress Made Entirely of Leslie Jones Tweets
"she gay dude stop it lol"
27-year-old Kayla Guminiak's Pride dress is made up entirely of a Leslie Jones tweet, and Twitter is losing it.
The rainbow-colored internet sensation was inspired by Jones after she replied to a guy online who kept hitting on her Saturday Night Live castmate Kate McKinnon.
\u201c@MetaNemesis she gay dude stop it lol\u201d— Leslie Jones \ud83e\udd8b (@Leslie Jones \ud83e\udd8b) 1466289865
Guminak loved the idea of making the epic clapback tweet into a Pride dress.
"It was just so ridiculous and silly and fun, and I love making and wearing ridiculous, silly, and fun things, so I decided to do it," she told BuzzFeed News. "No woman enjoys unwanted advances by creepy dudes, either on the internet or in real life, and so often we just ignore it. And as a gay woman (especially as a feminine, often-assumed-straight gay woman), there have been times when I've been hit on and I just want to yell 'I'm gay, dude, stop it!' So, plastering it all over my body seemed like a pretty good choice."
The dress didn't get a lot of comments at the New York City Pride Guminak attended, but the internet fell in love with it when she tweeted photos of her creation, which have now gone viral.
\u201cThank you, @Lesdoggg, for providing the very best inspiration for my Pride dress this year.\u201d— Kayla (@Kayla) 1498416817
No word if Leslie Jones has seen the garment just yet, but Guminak is loving the amount of attention the dress is getting. She's even responding to people who want to buy a tweet-dress of their own.
"It's so unexpected. But wonderful!"
