Will You Go to Duct Tape Prom With Me?

"Snakes! I Hate Snakes!"

I’m trying to figure out what this couple is supposed to be. He sort of looked like Indiana Jones at first glance, but not I’m thinking he looks more like a Canadian Monty. And she looks like something out of the Garden of Eden. Anyone got any good ideas?

Which Way to the Gun Show?

A sleeveless suit jacket. All I have to say is… “Wow.”

Konichiwa, Bitches!

This couple made some seriously killer kimonos.

Flower Power

These guys definitely didn’t skimp when it came to the duct tape— it looks like her dress weighs about 15 lbs.

Check Mate

I’m not exactly sure what this couple was going for here, and while the color palette is somewhat ugly, I still think they should get some props for execution.

Goombas!

Somewhere, Luigi is oozing with jealousy.

Artsy Fartsy

Mondrian would be proud, but I’m not sure if he’d approve of the color scheme.

Save the Trees!

These two would totally disappear in a rain forest.

Stars and Stripes 4Ever

These colors don’t run!

Romeo, Romeo...

I’m not sure if these two were going for Romeo and Juliet, but I’m going to call them star-crossed lovers anyway.

Urban Cowboy

This couple kinda half-assed the whole cowboy thing (no duct tape fringes? no duct tape gun holster?)

Don't Touch the Hair

I don’t know why, but this couple sort of reminds of Jughead and Veronica.

Start Your Engines!

This couple could definitely start a NASCAR race.

Zoot Suit Riot

Does anybody else have “Zoot Suit Riot” stuck in their head all of a sudden?

Do You Remember Where We Parked the Pumpkin Coach?

If Cinderella’s shoes had actually been made out of duct tape she never would have lost that sucker in the first place.

Dragonslayer

“Hast thou slain the dragon?”

“Umm, what?”

The Order of the Phoenix

I’ll take Mythical Creatures for $200, Alex.

I Heart You

I don’t know how she talked him into this, but he either REALLY likes her, or was REALLY desperate for a prom date.

Silver Lining

These two definitely deserve props for incorporating the OG duct tape (that would be the grey-silver variety), into their design.

Go Ask Alice

The Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts are finalists for the 2009 competition— I’m kinda hoping they win.

In Our Nature

These two definitely didn’t hold back when it came to the whole nature theme.

Tick, Tock

Meet Mother Nature and Father Time.

Ole!

While his sombrero doesn’t exactly go with her fishtail dress, I’m still kinda a fan. It takes a real man to sport a pink vest.

Aye, Matey

At first this couple totally reminded me of Sweeney Todd, but now I’m thinking she looks more like a pirate wench. Arrgh.

We Are the World

This couple went the traditional ethnic costume route. Who says duct tape can’t be culturally sensitive?

Well Hello, Dolly

I really hope this couple did a song and dance number from Hello, Dolly! at some point.

Yeah, Baby!!!

Make duct tape love, not duct tape war.

The One and Only Billy Shears

This girl TOTALLY got showed up by her date. If dude’s gonna go all Sgt. Pepper’s on you, you gotta do better than a halter dress.

Have You Seen My Glow Sticks?

This couple totally lied to their parents— they’re not going to prom, they’re going to a rave in a warehouse downtown.

Spendin' Cheese

I hope this guy requested “Big Pimpin’.” Umm, did I just date myself?

Hip to Be Square

I think the young man went a little bit overboard with the elbow patches (what’s with the amoeba?)

The Traditionalists

If you’re gonna do something crazy, like oh, I don’t know, make your prom clothes outta duct tape, you might as well think a LITTLE bit out of the box.

Purple Rain

All of sudden I’m craving a lattice top boysenberry pie.

Why, I Do Declare!

She had to walk sideways through doors for the entire evening, but it was totally worth it.

Purple and Gold

Go Lakers!!!

In the Pink

I bet you $10 that girl is hiding booze under her dress.

You Dirty Rat

If this couple had added in some red and yellow to the color scheme, it would have been SO Dick Tracy.
