holliEveryone who's got some free time should head over here IMMEDIATELY, because there's nothing funnier than duck tape prom dresses and tuxes. Well, there *are* funnier things, but hundreds of them? In styles raging from sexy to garish to deeply bewildering? I just spent a happy hour on #dcu working my way through the site and making fun of things, and I really wanted to share.
The archives go back to 2001. They are hilarious, and occasionally impressive. But mostly hilarious.
I have to declare a moratorium on the following, though:
1. "Phantom of the Opera"- themed outfits. I know it sounds cool to make the mask out of tape, but I promise you, it is not cool, and ninety other couples had this idea already.
2. "Starry Night"- themed outfits. I know you think it will make you look arty and deep, but you are idiots, and nine HUNDRED other couples had this idea already.
3. Patriotic or Americana outfits; you already look like a doofus, so please don't make it worse.
4. Things with flames on them. You do not look like a badass. You look like you are covered in duck tape.
5. YOU ARE NOT A DUCK TAPE NINJA. OR ANY OTHER KIND OF NINJA. NO, SERIOUSLY.
Also popular were various forms of piracy and costumes you could wear again to the Renaissance Faire.
Other highlights: Mary Poppins, Robin Hood and Maid Marian (just pretend it's Green Arrow), and, mysteriously, not one but TWO Confederacy-themed couples. I think their prom theme must have been "The South Will Rise Again... On This Magical Night."
However, I may have nightmares thanks to Duck Tape Barbie and Ken and her friend, Anorexic Duck Tape Skipper. And I kind of want to write slash fic about these boys.
