Now I am real old, don't you know

This morning, outside my flat, a small dinosaur was having a tantrum. A mouse was carrying a guitar on its back. A superhero was having some sort of wardrobe malfunction fixed by its mum.

I think it's fancy-dress day at Montpelier School :)

As I walked down to the tube, I passed pirates, more superheroes, a cowgirl, and a gratifyingly small number of princesses. Also a tiny Japanese girl wearing a black dress, a massive red bow on top of her head, and carrying a garden broom (I have no idea).

A number of children trailed past wearing the uniform red caps of a different school with a distinct air of martyrdom.

The Japanese girl is cosplaying Kiki from "Kiki's delivery service"

Whoops, I was going to say that, but ninjaed.

My thought exactly. Although she should probably also have a sarcastic black cat. Seems like this can't be world book day, though, 'cos that was yesterday (at least at our kids' school)..

It's neat how instantly recognisable the character is from a very brief description...

Especially since I clearly had no idea what I was looking at :)

I'll take your word for it!

Although in the circs, I'm not completely sure I accept "cosplaying" over "dressed as" ;)
