I saw another story last week on a girl that made her prom dress from the tabs on soda cans. It was actually pretty impressive. I wouldn't have the patience for something like that.

A girl in our area made her prom dress out of duct tape. Think the article said she used 50 rolls, also used many different colors. The picture of it actually looked prett cool. She did have to have help getting into it and the article said it was quite heavy.

My nieces love to make things out of duct tape. The stuff is not cheap. For the bigger rolls of color/pattern duct tape, the lowest price I've been able to find is $4.50 on sale. So to make that dress it cost her minimum $225.00. Wow.

$225.00 for a duct-tape prom dress? Still much cheaper than buying one...

I can't afford that much therapy. It has gotten much worse since he totaled my car.

did you know....

The current slogan for Starburst in the U.S. is "It's A Juicy Contradiction" and in the UK and Australia it is "Let Your Starburst Out."

it wasn't so much the cost of the dress, but the little frilly underwear you requested me to wear was way too expensive...and it rides up, too...
