Duct tape celebrities

Alex, Amanda, and I went to the fair last Friday and although they didn't let us hand out flyers, we did wear our outfits. At least, I wore my dress, Alex wore his jacket. We got weird looks from pretty much everyone we passed, which I thought was awesome but I won't claim to represent Alex with that statement :P Quite a few people stopped us to ask questions, and one lady got really excited and said, "I feel like I'm talking to celebrities!"

Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera, so I don't have any pictures. I will be going back to the fair this Wednesday, however, and I'm still debating on whether or not to wear my dress since I'm only going to perform a song. If I do, I'll definitely take pictures.

Where else should I publicize?

Duct tape wallets and contact info

I've started setting up to sell wallets, mostly by designing and working on examples I can post pictures of. I've also created a new e-mail account I'll be using for everything duct tape, like media and the wallet-selling. It's ducttaperoses992@gmail.com.

I'll post pictures of the example wallets and start selling as soon as I can.

Publicity

Alex and I had an interview with an online newspaper today. It was a lot of fun, and the story will run on Monday, so expect a post about that :)

I've been handing out flyers to practically everyone, so hopefully that's getting us some extra votes. I've also been posting on Facebook every day reminding people to vote.

I'm planning on going to the faire sometime this weekend, so we'll see if they'll let me advertise there as well. I'll post pictures if I do :D

Also, I went to the craft store the other day for something unrelated, and ended up buying two rolls of duct tape just because. I got black because I was running out, and yellow because there wasn't any really bright colors in my leftover duct tape spectrum. I haven't decided what to make next, though. That's probably my cue to start selling wallets...

TOP TEN!!!

We got into the top ten out of over 300 entries!!!! Now we need to get as many online votes as we can by July 11th. Here's the link to vote: Vote Here! You do need to register on the website, but it takes less than a minute and I promise they won't start sending you stuff. In fact, I've been trying to sign up for their newsletter, and for some reason my request never goes through. So they're not sending me stuff even if I want them to :P

This next month is going to be a barrage of publicity material and fun stuff like that, so stay tuned to hear what crazy stuff I'll do to get votes. I'm already planning on going to the county fair wearing my dress, but I have to make sure they won't kick me out for unauthorized advertisement or something along those lines... Leave suggestions in the comment section on how I should publicize! And go like our page on facebook :D Chelsey and Alexander for Stuck At Prom Duck Tape Scholarship Contest

Fancy Hat

Well, here's the hat I was working on. It took two days and two rolls of leftover tape :P
I'm definitely going to be wearing this thing everywhere I go...
