Think Penneys’ dresses and Amy Huberman. Enough said.
We got a massive reaction to our article on 27 Dresses this weekend (if you missed it, you can find it here) and that got us thinking… what WOULD happen if it had been set in Ireland?
Thanks to the power of Twitter – and perhaps, an overactive imagination – we have invented what we believe may just be a box office smash hit.
In conjunction with Her.ie reader and Twitter user Norma, not only did we get Marian Keyes on board for the script, but rumour has it* Amy Huberman and Brian O’Driscoll (shirtless, might we add) could well be the stars.
Here’s how it all began…

And so you have it ladies and gents…
It’s not often we give ourselves a pat on the back, but we think this is pretty genius.
And just so you know… Amy has since said yes, and we’re now working on the soundtrack!
@Herdotie @FantasticNormee @MarianKeyes when do we start?
— Amy Huberman (@amyhuberman) July 5, 2015
@amyhuberman @Herdotie @MarianKeyes as soon as possible!! Maybe @nbrez could do the soundtrack!
— Norma 😉 (@FantasticNormee) July 5, 2015
@Herdotie @FantasticNormee @MarianKeyes can we start a kickstarter for this please because it would be amazing!
