Mom seeks daughter’s prom date on Craigslist

Prom 2012 = $700-$1900 not counting hiring a prom date.

Okay….this is either a joke, or totally nuts!   And it doesn’t appear to be a joke. Scary.

Take a look at the Craigslist post and you decide:

My daughter and her friends attend a small private school in Seattle. The Senior Prom is June 2nd. My husband and I are looking to hire four prom dates for my daughter and her three friends. All the gals are very good looking, trim, friendly, and fun. We can trade photos. The time commitment would be seven hours..5pm to midnight paid at $50 per hour. If you are taller than 6feet, good looking, fit and outgoing, please send your photo to me as soon as possible. You will be required to interview, if selected, you will also need to meet for a one hour strategy session and tux fitting in advance of prom night. All expenses will be paid by us, tux rental, pre-party at down town high rise condo, limo, Senior dinner, and prom. To be clear..all expenses paid, no compensation for interview or tux fitting, $350 for seven hours on Prom night.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Local radio show host from Seattle, Dori Monson, alerted to this ad  calls it creepy.  Understatement.  He dedicated a 10 minute segment on his radio show to discuss the “Craigslist Date”  If you have the time you can hear it on line by clicking on Dori’s picture:
