An unnamed eBay seller from Oxfordshire has attracted bids well over
�150,000 for her yellow ASOS skater dress after accidentally uploading
a nude photo of herself to the auction site.
The initial asking price was just �15.99, but numbers started to climb
rapidly after word got out that the woman's half-naked body appears in
one of the photos ostensibly showing off the dress.
And sure enough, the clueless auctioneer's bottomless figure can
clearly be seen in the reflection of a mirror just behind the
clothing.
The Twitter hashtag #ebayyellowskaterdress soon began to trend in the
UK, leading some to call shenanigans on the whole thing.
"Possibly the best use of viral advertising to date?" one user asked.
That's entirely possible, but the girl at least appears to be real:
She updated the item's page with a new photo of herself, covered this
time, and added the tagline "#ebayyellowskaterdress as seen by
thousands. never worn naked."

150000 British Pound Sterling equals
241395.00 US Dollar

Must be English thing. I had an English pen pal forward me a list of photos,
including a family picture with two (married) dogs doing the marital bee-bop
in the background. And a photo of a teakettle, taken by a man with no
trousers. And a couple other photos revealing body parts.
I'm not all sure what is the fascination. But, it appears to interest
people.
Me, I'd rather oogle Harbor Freight catalogs. 67% off? Now I'm hooked.

newsgroup. Usually though, it was older, out of shape gentlemen who just
happened to be naked while taking photos of reflective objects like tea
pots and TV sets.
Aha, it's still (infamous); just googled and found this:

I have a little trouble believing that skater girl accidentally took her
pants off before taking a photograph...

Perhaps she was wearing the dress, sans panties, and took it off to
take the picture.
Even though she followed up with "never worn naked", that could mean:
1: She made that up so she could still sell the dress
2: She always wore a bra so she never was really "naked" under the
dress
She didn't say "never worn without panties".

When she was wearing the dress, she wasn't naked.

So of course it was "never worn naked"
