It all started with a twitter request. Jessica Casanova, a high school student and fan in Buffalo, New York, made a request of Gina Rodriguez, of “Jane the Virgin” fame. She mentioned that she loved the dress Gina wore to the Golden Globes this year and wished she could wear it to her prom.
Surprisingly, Gina responded. She told Casanova that she did not own that dress but did have the Black Badgley Mischka gown that she wore in the 2015 Golden Globes when she won the “Best Actress in a Comedy Series Award.”
Gina actually made alterations to the dress for Casanova along with a personal video in which she was quoted as saying
“Enjoy every single moment. Make smart decisions and let loose, girl.”
Casanova prouded showed it off at her prom and reported to Gina via twitter ”
We slayed
.”
Since then Rodriguez, who has gotten similiar requests since, has been open to an idea suggested by another fan to start a “Sisterhood of the Traveling Gina Golden Dress.”
