Poquoson teen asks Justin Bieber to prom - Daily Press
<div id="story-body-text" readability="98.7673956262"> <p>POQUOSON— </p> <p>— Cady Eimer considers herself one of Justin Bieber's biggest fans. </p><p>The Poquoson High School senior has posters of the teen pop star on her bedroom wall and she knows all the words to each of his songs. She's even convinced her mom to drive hundreds of miles so she and her sister could meet him.</p> <p>"I just love him," said Cady, 17. "He's really relatable and seems like a genuinely nice person."</p> <p>The devoted teen fan is hoping Bieber will return the love later on this year and accompany her to her senior prom.</p><p>Cady asked the musician to be her date to the high school dance earlier this year through a YouTube video on her One Less Lonely Prom website. </p><p>The website — which is named after Bieber's "One Less Lonely Girl" song — was established in January by Cady and two of her friends with the sole purpose of getting Bieber to be her prom date. </p><p>Cady, who met Bieber twice last year at concerts in Norfolk and Greensboro, N.C., said she wants Bieber to be her prom date so she can get to know him better.</p><p>"I got to see the real him at a sound check where he was laughing, joking and talking to everyone," she said. "He really seemed like someone I'd be friends with."</p><p>She said her friends helped her come up with the idea of asking Bieber to prom.</p><p>For months, Cady posted several videos alone and with her sister posing the question to the star. Her last video — which she posted in April — features Cady and her sister dressed in bandannas, baseball caps and sweatshirts rapping about why Bieber should take her to prom.</p><p> "I like you for you so your mom would approve," Cady said in the rap.</p><p>Cady has become an Internet sensation after a Huffington Post reporter wrote earlier this week about her website. Over the past week, her story has been featured on numerous blogs, in addition to Access Hollywood and OK magazine.</p><p>Cady's mom, Cheri Eimer, said she never thought her daughter's website would get so much attention.</p><p>"I'm proud of her," she said. "If they had this technology when I was a teenager I'd have asked my celebrity crush to go prom with me. Regardless of how it turns out she's living her life without having to look back and say what if." </p><p>Cady said Bieber hasn't responded to her video.</p><p>However, celebrities joining fans on their special day isn't unheard of. Singer Justin Timberlake and Actress Mila Kunis recently accepted invitations to attend the Marine Corps Ball later this year after seeing YouTube videos posted by fans.</p><p>Cady said she has the support of her friends, family, classmates and the dozens of people who have posted YouTube videos backing her plea on the Internet.</p><p>She isn't sure who she'll take to prom if Bieber isn't able to attend.</p><p>"I haven't really thought about it," she said.</p><b><p>Want to know more?</p></b><p>Visit Cady's website, http://www.onelesslonelyprom.com, or follow her on Twitter at http://www.twitter.comcadyeimer</p> </div>
