Stuck at Prom® Tips

*RRRRRIPPP!* Another great thing about Duck Tape clothes...if you have a blowout, just add more Duck Tape! Carry a spare roll (in your main color) just in case. You don't want anyone to see your Duck Tape underwear.

Imagine everything you’re going to do prom night, and practice ahead of time with your Duck Tape clothes on. Dance. Sit down. Get into a car. (Go to the bathroom). That way if you bust a seam (tight-spot blow out!), you have time for repairs.

ALWAYS carry an extra roll for repairs to prom attire – although it’s more likely your friends not wearing duct tape will need it!

As prom nears, many duct tape dates get jittery, it’s best to have a back-up duct tape date at the ready. Friends and siblings do nicely.

Don’t try to paint duct tape - it flakes off and will totally mess up the limo.

Gluing stuff to duct tape doesn’t really work either.

Wearing duct tape to prom will probably make you the most photographed couple there – BE PREPARED! Oh…and people will want to touch you, too.

Donning duct tape is HOT – in more than one way! So bring some D.O. for your B.O. or people may say “P.U.!” Seriously, if you wear something cotton underneath it, it’s not that bad.

Don’t be surprised to find yourself being elected to the prom court, many past duct tape prom couples were.

Beware of the “momarazzi” as you enter your prom! Wear your sunglasses!

If you pride yourself on the low profile you keep with the teachers and administrators at your school, wearing duct tape to prom will probably ruin it….be ready to get double teamed by Mr. Woller the Science teacher and Mr. Gearson the Shop teacher for a while, as they regale you with their duct tape stories.

The cool thing about duct tape prom attire is that it can’t get ruined by spills, rain, or puke.

Making a prom outfit out of duct tape is not something to put off until the night before the dance. It’s not like blowing off studying for a test – you can’t fake duct tape formals.

Wear sensible shoes (this goes for the guys and the girls). Many duct tape prom goers are afraid to sit down in their homemade outfits.

Don’t be surprised to find that your date’s mom called the newspapers/radio/TV stations. Roll with it, this is your 15 minutes, go for it!

Make an FAQ sheet and make 500 copies. You’ll be glad you did because everybody is going to be asking the same questions.

To convince your parents to let you try for the “Stuck at Prom” scholarship, simply compare the cost of about 30 rolls of duct tape, with some of the formals featured in the prom magazines…dad will be driving you to the hardware store himself!

Duct tape is heavy and it wrinkles, but don’t be surprised that in the months following your duct tape prom you’ll find yourself longing to wear it again.
