DUCT TAPE
Liz:
I also had a friend in high school who covered his Chevy Blazer in duct tape. The thing was so rust covered that it actually looked better afterwards. I wish I had a picture of it that I could post...

That sounds totally awesome... I want to do that to a car now... Unfortunatly, Duct Tape is 'effin' expensive!!
The Art program here (I'm not sure what part exactly...) is doing a "Clothes Without Fabric" project...there seems to be quite a few people using duct tape, apparently. I shall have to peruse the exibit and snap some shots when it is displayed on Parent's Weekend.

Another duct tape story.
I totalled my first car, lost an argument with a big brown sedan, but since I was only two years into the payments, I still owed more than what the insurance company said it was worth. So if I took the check and let them scrap the car, I'd have to come up with $1500. What a screwed up situation. My other option was actually keeping the car, not getting it repaired, and let the insurance company and the bank fight about it, since the collateral on the loan was toast. I chose that option.
So far another year and a half, I drove a car with the passenger side totally caved in, windows covered over in plastic sheeting, and the whole thing held together with duct tape. The door was all bent up and didn't fit right anymore: duct tape. Some of the trim was dangling: duct tape. Yep, it looked like hell. But the alignment amazingly was perfectly fine, the engine was fine, even the rear window defroster still worked. I could drive it on the highway.
Since my only choice was to toss the car, pay $1500 and still have to buy another one, and just kept it and drove it into the ground.

Purple duct tape zoot suit for senior prom, complete with pink pinstripes on the pants, duct tape yellow tie, duck tape hat with feather (also duct tape). Not to mention my date's corsage and the dozen roses I made to thank my friend for helping me make it.
Took a pattern, cut out pieces of fabric, covered fabric in duct tape, and then I actually stapled them all together >_>
Here's some more pics (corsage, etc)

My schools track team has an anything but clothes party every year, and my freshman year roommate made herself a duct tape dress. It was a tube dress that laced up the sides, it looked really cool actually
