An 18-year-old high school senior from Durango, Colorado named Sydney Spies is at the center of a budding controversy, as her school's yearbook editors -- all her fellow students -- have rejected two shots she submit for her senior portrait on the grounds the glamour shots were not "professional" for the book.
The Durango High School student -- who’s wearing a short yellow skirt, showing off her stomach in one of the shots -- appeared with her mother Miki on The Today Show Monday to discuss the scandal.
"I really honestly think that it describes who I am," Spies explained to Matt Lauer on The Today Show Monday. "People can take it however they want, that I'm an outgoing person and I really do think it's artistic.
