Man finds wedding dress in yard after tornado

By Terry Daniels
Butler, KY (WLWT/CNN) - A tornado in early March sent belongings flying in the Midwest, including a wedding dress.
Now the Kentucky farmer who found it wants to get the keepsake back to its owner.
Jon Trapp is checking on his brand new calf. It's sheltered in the barn as rain falls outdoors.
"I just happened to notice something right in the middle of the hayfield," said Trapp.
Sheltered in his garage is a wedding dress. He was checking his fence line for damage a few days after the March 2nd tornado when he picked up what he first thought was a curtain lying in a field.
Then his son saw it.
"I go to house and then back to barn. He's holding the dress up, still on the hanger and asks what is this? Where did this come from? That's when I realized it was a wedding dress and I told him I just picked it out of the hay field," said Trapp.
Trapp had seen Katrina Payne talking about saving memories blown away by the tornadoes, so he contacted her and she posted a picture of the dress.
No Matter What a Woman Says About Dieting and Exercise, She's Wrong
Points out, Lady Gaga's got more Twitter followers than anyone in the world. Twenty-two million people follow her 140-character musings. Plus, she's fashioned an image for herself that resembles a combination of The Virgin Mary, David Bowie, and a 6-year-old girl trying to play an extra scary version of Maleficent in a mirror. Being down with the downtrodden is an integral part of her brand — she's Compassionate® and she Stands Up For The Disenfranchised Youth® and she Loves You Just the Way You Are®. She's publicly discussed her battle with bulimia and even told conference participants that dieting was "making girls sick." So it seems the tiniest bit hypocritical and irresponsible that she'd tweet about her diet and include a hashtag informing her 22 million or so-odd followers that #PopStarsDontEat, even if it was tongue-in-cheek.At the same time, something's lost when no female celebrity is allowed to talk about eating or working out ever over fear of offending. Gaga shares stories of other unhealthy habits — drinking, smoking, lighting pianos on fire — and isn't as heavily scrutinized for that as she is for overexercising.
My top half was fine, but the bottom half... hefty!
WITH the wedding fast approaching and an unforgiving satin bridesmaid's dress waiting for me to squeeze my butt into, a health kick was seriously required. After the Vibroplate incident, which cost me €100 and was used twice, I have been banned from doing anything that costs money. Initially I thought I could get all lovely and toned and firm a la Amanda Byram by just not eating bread and a half a pound of Kerrygold each day.
That only lasted two days, when I started suffering from withdrawal and was taking the butter out of the fridge and sniffing it with longing. Four rounds of toast smothered in butter later and I was back to square one again.
Then I decided I'd start eating loads of salads which would be bound to be good for me and turn me into a svelte, athletic goddess. But the only way I'll eat salad is if it has loads of cheese, mayonnaise, nuts and dressing on it. So that kind of defeated the purpose of that exercise.
My next attempt at recreating myself in the shape of Elle Mcphearson involved walking the dog, which actually was quite good exercise because our dog is a thug and seems to think it only proper that he attack every poor little labradoodle and bichon fries that comes his way. Therefore I spent most of the 40-minute walk hauling him back from savaging cute balls of fluff. I'm sure my right arm is decidedly more toned since.
