Ugly Dress of the Week: Herpzilla Invades Korea

I found this weeks ugly dress while researching my Korean Wedding Customs post. I remember reading a while back that Paris Hilton had gone to Korea for god knows what, and now here’s the photo to prove it:

   So, without futher ado, the conclusion to my epic 3-part series about my random-ass, culturally-confused wedding:
