A date. "I don't care about that as much," said the teen

To the guys who think she did it all for you:

Think again.

""My parents are just happy that I saved up myself for the dress, and they'll obviously help me pay for everything else I need." "

obviously

[Carolinamom]

Pathetic shallowness....girl, her friends, and her parents.

[MaDeuce]

The "Me" generation in full bloom ... If the parents of this spoiled kid want to flip the bill for the majority of her party, then who am I to criticize. But 10K on a drunken bender is a waste too me.

She could spend that money on healthcare

Jenna Cossuto spent $2,400 on her custom-made dress. She'll rent a 22-seat stretch Hummer to transport her closest friends to privately booked Gotham Hall. And then it's off to the swanky South Street Seaport at Bridgewater and afterward, a party in Crobar's VIP section before a long weekend in a Hamptons beach house.

So is there a prom involved in there somewhere?

[Bon mots]

I pity the guy that ends up with this high-maintenance New York idiot princess.

[dhuffman@awod.com]

Who needs a date when you're surrounded by your closest friends? Bought and paid for.

[dennisw]

She is stupidly indulged by her parents as much as one of those 39 pound house cats that have threads posted here.

[Fresh Wind]

Gee, I hope she doesn't get vomit on that pretty dress.

[sgtbono2002]

Spoiled brat. Where did she work to save the money for the dress? You can bet it wasnt McDonalds. More than likely she saved it from her lucrative allowance her parents provide her. Her parens arent raising a productive member of society, they are raisng a leech.

Being a male I never had this great dream of a prom being the greatest thing in my life. I was just looking for a chance to get laid.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

They forgot to itemize the cost for the abortion afterwards to deal with the after effects of getting pregnant at that Hampton's Beach House.

[WKUHilltopper]

What a dope. She and, I guess, her peers have bought into this hype--and everyone is laughing their way to the bank, except she and whomever else for pissing away money like this. It's a frickin' prom! Who cares!? It's a one night mean nothing deal. A chance to blow your money. Suckers!

[maggief]

Ugly dress, too. /meow

[Fintan]

I hope she gets thrown in the pool at the post-prom party, and the dress comes off, and the poor schmuck she turned down for the prom gets high-resolution pictures of her in all her dripping wet naked glory, and posts them on the internet.

Hey, that's what I'd do...

"I'm not sure exactly how much I'll spend, but probably thousands and thousands," said Cossuto. If she gets all she wants, the total will exceed $10,000. "My parents are just happy that I saved up myself for the dress, and they'll obviously help me pay for everything else I need."

I wonder if this princess is setting herself up for a fall. Her parents made her pay for her own dress, and she does not seem overly confident the parents are paying for the rest of her self indulgent idiocy. It would be pretty funny of Dad read this article and had a long talk with his princess about the other $7,500 she need to save before prom night.

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

Only the Post would consider this news. Just another overindulged, spoiled, self important, stuck up, shallow, egotistical, narcissistic, wannabe with no real idea on how the real world looks on this bragging. Prom night is overblown and over hyped. And if this "rich-b****" were truly important she would have had a "coming out" party at 16. I really feel sorry for Anyone who hooks up with this (thing that resembles a girl).

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Wait until you see what she'll do for her wedding! The choice of groom won't matter then, either.

I see examples of this young woman, in grown-up form, every day. These are completely self-obsessed young women and we have a million of them already running around this country. Heaven help anyone who tries to tell them, "No."

This is probably Jenna's father:

Brooklyn lawyer Mark Cossuto charges $1,000 a pop for a DWI case and getting his clients' records sealed.

Cossuto has plea-bargained and sealed 29 cases of drunken driving in the last 12 years - the biggest tally of DWI sealing cases of any lawyer in the state.

One of Cossuto's clients, Kenneth LaBarre, 57, a general contractor, flunked a sobriety test during an August 1997 traffic stop at the Battery Tunnel after he said he'd had a drink with dinner.

LaBarre was thrilled to learn his DWI bust would be sealed. He had nothing but praise for Cossuto.

"He was the greatest lawyer I ever met," LaBarre said. "He was a godsend to me."

Cossuto angrily refused comment.

$10,000 on a prom??? I don't know who disgusts me more in this story,the girl or her parents.
