Kristen Schubert, Colorado Teen, Takes Justin Bieber Cutout To Prom (PHOTO)

If Justin Bieber was your boyfriend, he'd never let you go to prom alone.

Unfortunately, if you're not Selena Gomez, the Biebs can be hard to get a hold of. But that didn't stop Kristen Schubert from taking the pop sensation to her high school dance.

The teen created a Justin Bieber cutout and took the cardboard creation to the Grand Valley High school prom in Parachute, Colo., ABC 7News reports.

Girls went gaga over Schubert's special prom date, and the extra attention didn't give the couple much alone time.

"When his new song 'Boyfriend' came on a huge group of people came over and started dancing with us," Schubert told ABC 7News. "I don't even know how many people took our picture and how many people wanted pictures with him."

According to Denver's 9 News, the senior tried to get Bieber's attention with a letter and a faxed request to his record label. The proposals went unanswered, so Schubert did what she considered the next best thing.

The whole event goes to show that "your dreams can come true with a little ingenuity," Gather News' Mia Meadows observes.

It almost goes without saying that Schubert wasn't the only one to ask the teen heartthrob to prom, though, perhaps surprisingly, she wasn't the only student to boogie down with a life-size cutout of her ideal date.

Iowa teen Rachel Bird went arm in arm with a replica of NFL star Tim Tebow.

Like Schubert, Bird took matters into her own hands after her request for date with the New York Jets player went unanswered.

“I think more people took their picture with Tim than they did with me,” Bird told the Des Moines Register after the dance.

Both ladies had a wonderful time at their proms, but only one question remains: Who would be crowned Prom King? Cutout Biebs or Cardboard Timmy?

What a sad life this child has, she couldn't even get a cousin to go with her.

Wow, what nasty comments, you guys make the young people look so negative and mean. Don't you ever have anything nice to say. I think the young lady has a great sense of hummor, too bad some of you don't get it. I am sure as pretty as she is , it does not matter if she has a date, she seems to be very comfortable in who she is.

Pretty desperate teen to take a fake cut out to a prom. Couldn't you get a real date?

This Bieber kid always reminds me to play Justin Timberlake songs for some reason.

Other than the fact that Bieber is probably completely booked for atleast 10 more years of his life, if she sent him a picture with that mental case expression then I don't blame him for saying no, or any other guy she probably tried to ask out for that matter. I feel sorry for this ridiculous girl.

I dont think people wanted pictures because it was cool, they wanted pictures to capture a hilarious desperate moment! The things people do nowadays....

Well, Now we know why she needed to bring the cardboard cutout....
