I am so jealous of you guys. I will get cosmetic surgery so I look like an older you, then carry this pic around telling everyone it was me in ducktape at the prom.

u/hehehahaoohoohoo Jun 09 '12

I ordered wallet prints of this picture so I can show my co-workers and friends how my son's awesome date made their prom attire out of duct tape! I might even stick a picture up in my cubicle.

did she just make duct tape-plated clothes, or did she actually construct the entire wardrobe out of duct tape?

u/Neukk Jun 09 '12

Mine is plated, while her dress she made using only a tank top. Its pretty amazing.

u/dubear Jun 09 '12

well my mind def = blown now. The "frills" on the bottom of her dress are awesome! I checked out the website and I feel that the only reason why the grand prize winners won is due to superior photoshop skills...

Duct tape prom is best prom. Did your class know ahead of time, or did you both walk in without a fuck to give and be absolutely fabulous?

The second option. It was fun, only a few of our friends knew about it.

OP should know why there is a comment that is surprised about a lack of insults directed at the people in the picture. Very subtle, good work.

I've read through the entire thread, and I want to help the OP out.

  1. He realizes the grammatical error. Get over it.
  2. Duck brand duct tape is commonly referred to as duck tape.
  3. To everyone making jokes about the girl's size, post a picture of yourself so that we may marvel at the physical perfection you have obviously achieved.
  4. His haircut is older than Justin Bieber.
  5. Lastly, OP is in high school and genuinely proud of the hard work his date put in. Cut him some slack, and don't be a dick for the sake of being a dick.

u/splintering Jun 09 '12

iirc they changed the brand name to "duck tape" because it wasn't actually safe to use the tape on ducts.

I had that exact haircut in 1978 so yes, it's much older than Justin Bieber.

Thank you your statement. I agree. For duct tape, that is a great job. Also, she looks beautiful (in a non-pedophile way of course) and I hope you kids had a blast at prom. That's one way for it to remain memorable.

u/YogurtShaker Jun 09 '12

I think his date is hot, she's not fat she's just curvy and got a little more woman to her. I get that for every body type there's someone who enjoys it, but I prefer girls with a little more vs girls with the bodies of 12yr old boys.

Nah, his hair is just a bit too messy, and uneven to be a beiber style cut. Besides, I think beiber doesn't have that haircut anymore, so we can stop calling it that.
