Tried to make it bit by bit on my own
Jan. 19th, 2015 02:01 pmSome time ago, on a pub crawl, my dance team happened on a bunch of people in fancy dress in north Oxford. They were dressed as superheroes and were an impressive bunch, both in outfits and in variety. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rapperaddict and I spent a happy quarter of an hour covertly spotting the various more obscure charaters. There was an impressively muscled Robin, a curvy Silk Spectre, a Spiderman... around twenty, a couple of whom we couldn't identify.
What almost all of them had in common was that they were dressed ready-made costumes. The sort you can buy on the internet for £20-£30, and wear once before the cheap fabric splits at the seams and the accessories are lost or broken. They look good for your one party night, of course. The rather obviously home-made Nebula[*], with patchy blue face paint, looked very much outclassed.

[*] At least, I think I mean Nebula. I'm not good on GotG.
