Either you're in or you're out.

I admit it – I get wrapped up in Project Runway.

Two Octobers ago, Bravo ran a day-long season three marathon and for some reason, I decided to make a dress entirely out of silver lame and call myself a Space Girl on Halloween.

But I’d like to think that I’m smart enough to make that mistake only once. I don't go around designing clothes out of plastic bags, assorted cutlery or other unconventional materials every day.

I don’t know what’s keeping Henkel Corporation from doing the same.

“In its eighth year, the 2008 Duck(R) brand duct tape Stuck at Prom(R) Scholarship Contest challenges high school students to create and accessorize their prom formalwear with America's favorite fix-all – duct tape. And, it's up to the public as to who has the best outfit! Online voting will decide the winning couple from 10 finalist couples,” reads the release.

Really? An eight year contest implies that as many people – no, as many couples – have actually participated.

“Rather than worrying about wearing the same dress or tux as another student, invest in some rolls of duct tape and create a unique, stylish outfit that is sure to be like no other.”

You know, if I had to face the prom again, I might be worried that my stupid date Jeremy might not give me a ride home – which happened by the way. And I might be worried that I might accidentally set my bouquet on fire when I inadvertently put it on top of the centerpiece tealights - which also happened. But I wouldn’t be worried about wearing a duplicate dress because even if I did, at least it wouldn't be made of tape.

“In addition to getting creative with their promwear, students will also have the opportunity to make college a little more affordable. The couple receiving the first place title will receive a $6,000 cash scholarship for college.”

Not worth it, kids. Simply not worth it.

Anyone who doesn’t believe me can ask Space Girl to prove it.
