Give them an "A" for audacity.
Mary Kay Letourneau, the former teacher who spent seven years in jail for bedding her sixth-grade student in the 1990s, was the star at "Hot for Teacher Night" at a Seattle club - and her victim-turned-husband was the deejay.
Hubby Vili Fualaau, now 25, was spinning the tunes at Fuel Sports Eats as his wife, now 47, mingled with more than 150 fans and former students Saturday night.
Letourneau, her youthful face beaming with a smile that could make her the perfect poster girl for Botox, was the center of attention, constantly surrounded by fans and paparazzi.
America's ultimate cougar spent most of the night posing for pictures and signing autographs on "Hot for Teacher" posters and shirts, on sale for $7 and $20 each.
She sipped cosmopolitans and donned a skintight black minidress and silver sandals, drawing compliments from several men.
Letourneau was a married mother of four in 1996 when she got pregnant by her then-13-year-old student lover. The scandal broke when her then husband discovered love letters the teacher and student had exchanged.
She served six months in prison after pleading guilty to statutory rape. Letourneau was released on good behavior, but wound up back in the slammer after cops discovered she was again seeing the boy and planned to flee the country with him.
The ex-teacher then served seven years in prison and was released in 2004. A court order of protection was lifted, and the couple married less than a year later.
They live in a Seattle suburb where they're raising their two daughters.
Fualaau has been performing as "DJ Headline" since 2005, and worked out the "Hot for Teacher Night" idea with bar owner Mike Morris.
"It wouldn't be funny if it was a situation that was happening right now," Morris told a local TV station at the event.
"But it's a situation that happened a long time ago. She served her time," he said. "Now they're married - they had kids together. And we're just having fun."
A single protester stood outside the bar in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood denouncing the event as promoting the rape of a child.
Locals posted numerous complaints about the event on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Web site.
"Revolting, disgusting, nauseating, perverted," wrote one reader. "I will never understand why they let her out of jail."
"Should have been held in a trailer park, and co-hosted by Tonya Harding," another reader sneered.
