101 uses of Wedding Gown

London, May 24 (ANI): A divorced man has
found a unique way to take revenge from his wife who spurned him - inventing 101
uses of her wedding gown - and blogging about it.
Kevin Cotter was left heartbroken as his high school sweetheart walked out
after 12 years of marriage - taking with her everything but her lace- and
pearl-embellished white wedding dress. "She had all of her stuff loaded and I
couldn't help but notice because this bridal keepsake box was dead centre on the
main shelf in the walk-in closet," he said. "She said 'I'm not taking it,' and
when I asked what I should do with it her reply was do whatever I wanted," The
Telegraph quoter Cotter as saying.
But Cotter decided to quit moping. Instead, he decided to channel his despair
into being constructive - and how! He has started a blog chronicling 101 uses
for the rejected dress - the blog has become a sensation on the Internet
garnering users from everywhere. One viewer suggested that the dress be used to
plug the hole in the leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico. Mr Cotter said he was
"not sure how we will shoot this one" - each suggestion features a video showing
the dress in action - but said he "really liked the idea".
So far, he has listed 23 uses - some of which include a yoga mat, a pasta
strainer, painter's cover sheet, ice pack, camera lens cleaner and even a dog
bed. Cotter aims to reach 101 uses and possibly publish a book about his
experience in trying to find uses for a garment that usually only gets one
outing.
Cotter's wife, who says she left the dress behind so that her daughter could
have it someday, told ABC news in a mail, "I wish all the best to Kevin and hope
he seeks counselling to deal with his anger and resentment. "His determination,
along with his family's support, to continue with this endeavour after his
children and I have asked him to stop is incomprehensible."
Cotter on the other hand, says that this 'project' has acted as a therapy for
him.
"Nothing about divorce is pleasant or easy and I will share some of my
experiences and at the same time lighten them up with some creative uses for
this dress I was stuck with," he said
