I found this funny(who would do this?)
 
I was cruising on fastweb.com and found this in my inbox

The Duck Brand Duct Tape Stuck on Prom Contest is available to students age 14 years or older who are attending a high school prom in the spring of 2002. You must be a U.S. citizen, including the District of Columbia, but excluding Puerto Rico. You must enter as a couple (two Individuals) and attend a high school prom wearing complete attire or accessories made from duct tape. Each couple must submit a color photograph of the two of you together in prom attire. The awards for this contest range from honorable mention prizes of Duck Tape sportswear to a first place prize of a $2,500 scholarship for each member of the winning couple and a $2,500 cash prize to the school that hosts the prom.
a renewed version is expected out soon

My friend Keri made a pocket book made entirely of duct tape...
And, I do know a few people who considered doing this, but they didn't, only becuase they decided to not go to the Prom...

evulish 13-08-2002 14:40

If I can get a girl to do that and go with me, I plan on doing it. I don't care if I make a fool of myself. My school kinda expects it from me :) I don't think I know of a girl that would go to the prom with me even _without_ a duct tape dress...Hmm...maybe I can lure them in with $2500 towards college :)

Ahh yes...and I have a bookbag made out of duct tape. (Well...covered in duct tape...) I stole the idea but it looks original since I'm the only one in my school to do it :P I planned on cutting out the actual bookbag fabric but never got around to it. I may still do it...I have 2 weeks. Heh...duct tape rules ;) weedie knows... Sean's pants...Luke's wife beater... :P

I would say something about Asher, but I don't think it's my place...

:D

evulish 13-08-2002 14:52

Muah. I'll use Tartran (or whatever the KMart brand is) just to spite Duck brand :)

Jeff Rodriguez 13-08-2002 15:03

i was gonna do it, but my girlfriend was like 'No way in hell!'

Rob Ribaudo 13-08-2002 15:08

Sounds like an interesting idea to wear a duct tape suit.
Maybe next year when I make and wear a vest made out of duct tape to collect buttons on. I wonder how well it would hold up though?

evulish 13-08-2002 15:18

Mehh...why are girls so picky? What's wrong with wrapping your body in rolls of duct tape then going to the biggest formal event of their lives so far and humiliating themselves? I don't get it. :)

Duct-tape ANYTHING is incredibly hot. I don't know how I'll be able to stand that much duct tape for an evening. Heh...if I do it...I have plans to make a large duct-tape top hat :) and possibly an incredibly flimsy cane :D

Kristina 13-08-2002 15:35

I know a girl who did this for prom and two who wore duct tape dresses for graduation. They said it was really hot and uncomfortable, but I've seen pictures online of some really cool looking dresses & tuxes.

And yes, I admit that I would have never worn duct tape to either of my proms even if I were guaranteed that amount of money. Just thought you would need a female perspective.

.....weedie's duct tape shoes! hmm.. what else?

Let me think, since the public school system hates me... if we aren't at Nats during prom.... and the so-called-other-half-of-me doesn't care.... and I could somehow find away to put myself in duct tape.... I may be weird enough to take on the challenge... I'd let you keep the money. :rolleyes:

Stephanie 13-08-2002 17:59

it only says that the picture has to show you in the prom attire. it doesn't say you have to take the picture *at* the prom. you know how alot of people take pix at home, before they leave? well...just change your clothes! :)
i would do it.

Jon K. 13-08-2002 18:41

actually if you look at the pics they are all profesionally done so you could always go to wal mart or some place with a photo studio and then change

Melissa Nute 13-08-2002 19:02

If someone is willing to do this with me for my prom this year I would so do this...hehe...I can find someone I'm sure...hehe

Anyone care to join me, eh?

David Kelly 13-08-2002 20:09

i thought about doing it but i got side tracked by some little robotics thing ;) but i do have a duck tape wallet. many of you have seen it already. you can see this thread about my ducktape wallet. and my most recently updated pics of my wallet below this text. i had to change the skin on it. it was turning black and gritty.

Jon K. 13-08-2002 20:23

duck tape wallets arent hard to make at all i was in Kentucky on a service project with my church and i got so bored sitting around after working in sweltering heat all day that i found a roll of duct tape that my dad had and started making one using just my normal wallet as a model and i wound up making three or four that week it was fun

Hey...my prom isn't during nats :) (Although it may be during Tunkhannok...but I hope not :D)

Ha... the so-called-other-half-of-you...sounds promising :P That'll last forever. *grin* Sorry :P

Ok, it's in my palm for my schedule next year! You have been booked! :)


HA! Blah, bite me! I've had more than you've had! No more conspiracy of trying to kill him on the way to competition so you can be the driver, that doesn't make me laugh anymore.

evulish 14-08-2002 00:34

Ha...well...I'm kinda second-in-line for someone. So I almost kinda have a slim chance at getting a girlfriend! :D

So...should I book the hotel room after the prom or should you? *wink* *wink* :cool:

I had to bite my tongue not to say anything the first time I read that. I already commented on JK's grammar once so I decided not to do it again. Yes, I am one of those grammar freaks, but I'm getting better. My first step was switching from an English to a poli sci major.

Gui Cavalcanti 15-08-2002 12:58

I definitely would do it, and I'd be going to the prom with a girl from my team who would definitely do it! The only problem is our parents would kill us...

So, how do you make these full suits out of duct tape? Really skillful double-layering or taping over existing suits?

If it's that skillful I may need to practice it before attempting...

Erin Rapacki 15-08-2002 13:18

Ha! I was just about to post on how I can't read Jk's posts. Oh well, I'm not a grammer freak, but I try to write well as a favor to the people reading these forums. For somebody wasting an entire day of work reading these forums (ehghem! (myself)), It's easy to get a headache or annoyed when your constantly TRYING to understand what people are saying. Anywho... I skipped my senior prom for Penn Challenge, and it was well worth it. To me... Proms are a waste. I can have just as much fun without spending $300 for a single evening.

Jon K. 15-08-2002 17:59

Why is everybody picking on me?? It is not fair!! From now on I will try to punctuate, etc. when making very long posts. Is everyone happy now!?:mad: :mad:

Haha...we have an empty apartment in the building. :P

Oh...and duct-tape suits would most likely be made by covering another suit. I mean...you COULD make your own suit, but that would be incredibly hot and kinda flimsy. I don't think I want an unbreatheable fabric right next to my skin. (Check out some of the entries on duck brand's site! OMG!)

I don't know what girls would do for dresses. My guess would be just cover an old dress. Dunno.
